There were three age groups, which were 5 to 8 years old, 9 to 11 years old, and 12 to 15 years old. There were also four kinds of activities that the European country’s children participated in, including watch TV, read comics, play video games, and ride bikes.

Amoung the 5 to 8 years old group, the highest percentage in four kinds of activities were watching TV. In contrast, the paticipation percentage of the other three kinds of activities were similar, which were in a range of 50% to 75%.

Task Response

The report addresses the task, but there are some areas for improvement. The description of the data is somewhat general and lacks specific details. To improve, focus on providing more precise data points and making more direct comparisons between the age groups and activities. Also, ensure that the structure is clear and that the language is accurate and varied.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally understandable, but the organization could be improved. The paragraphs lack clear topic sentences and the transitions between them are weak, making it difficult to follow the main points. Consider using more cohesive devices to link ideas within and between paragraphs. For example, use transition words like 'similarly', 'in addition', 'however', and 'therefore' to show the relationships between different pieces of information. Also, try to group similar ideas together to create a more logical flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate but could be more varied and precise. There are instances of repetitive language (e.g., 'percentage' and 'activities' are used frequently). Try to use synonyms and more specific terms to enhance the description. For example, instead of 'took part in', you could use 'participated in' or 'engaged in'. Also, consider using more descriptive adjectives and adverbs to provide a clearer picture of the data. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses ('children took part' should be 'children who took part'), subject-verb agreement issues ('Amoung' should be 'Among'), and awkward phrasing ('the least activities chinldren took part in' should be 'the activity children took part in the least'). While these errors do not completely obscure the meaning, they do affect the clarity and fluency of the writing. Focus on improving your understanding of basic grammar rules and sentence structure. Proofread carefully to identify and correct errors before submitting your work.
