The pie chart illustrates data about where dance classes are exactly located, measured in percentages, while the bar chart illustrates the number of people who participate in different types of dance classes by age group in the city in Australia.

Overall, it can be seen that private studios are the most common place to provide dance classes for students. Learners under 11 mostly prefer ballet classes to other types of dance lessons, whereas dancers who are 11 and older like modern dance.

Regarding the location of classes, the most popular place to provide dance lessons among dancers is private studios with nearly a half (48%), and the second most popular place is school halls (after-school) at nearly a quarter (24%). By contrast, community halls and other and college-based studios are less popular, with 18% and a tenth (10%) respectively.

Turning to the types of dance classes, there are 3 types of classes: ballet, tap and modern, which are popular among students. Ballet is popular among students who are under 11, at 600. While for people 11 and older, the former figure is at just about 300. In both age groups, the tap dance figures are almost equal at around 400-450. Modern dance is more common among the 11 and older age group at 510. In contrast to this, the under 11 group learners are at 300.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by summarizing both the location and types of dance classes, and includes an overall comparison. The structure is clear, with separate paragraphs for location and dance types. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., ballet figures are reversed, modern dance numbers are misstated) and a few omissions (e.g., the exact figures for tap in the 11-16 age group). The report would benefit from more precise data reporting and ensuring comparisons are accurate. Additionally, the introduction could be more concise, and the conclusion could be strengthened by highlighting key trends more clearly.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is exceptionally well-organized and easy to follow. The introduction clearly outlines the two charts, and the overview effectively summarizes the main trends. The body paragraphs are logically separated, with one focusing on location and the other on types of dance classes. Cohesive devices are used naturally and effectively, such as 'Regarding', 'Turning to', and 'By contrast', which guide the reader without being obtrusive. Paragraphing is skillfully managed, and any minor lapses are minimal.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and demonstrates a good range, with terms like 'predominantly', 'participate', and 'common place'. There is some repetition of 'popular' and 'students', but overall the lexical choices are accurate and convey the information clearly. To achieve a higher score, consider using more varied synonyms (e.g., 'attendees', 'enrollees', 'prevalent', 'favored') and more sophisticated phrasing where possible. The report remains natural and easy to read. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is virtually flawless, with a wide range of structures used accurately and flexibly. The report includes complex sentences, such as 'While for people 11 and older, the former figure is at just about 300', and correctly uses comparative structures. Punctuation is correct throughout, and there are no noticeable errors. This demonstrates full control of grammatical features.
