Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by describing trends for different age groups, but it contains several inaccuracies and omissions. The age groups mentioned (0-14, 15-64, 65+) do not match the task's age groups (0-19, 20-55, 55+), which leads to some irrelevant information. Key data points are imprecise (e.g., '30%' instead of 31% for 0-19 in 1960, and 'more than 40%' for 55+ in 2040 instead of 55%). The report also lacks clear comparisons between age groups and does not fully cover the forecast period. To improve, ensure the age groups align with the task, use accurate data, and include more specific comparisons and trends. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report attempts to describe the main trends but lacks a clear overall structure. The information is presented in a somewhat disjointed manner, and the progression of ideas is not always logical. Paragraphing is not effectively used, and the use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate, making the message difficult to follow. To improve, organize the report into clear paragraphs: an introduction paraphrasing the task, an overview of the main trends, and then detailed paragraphs for each age group or time period. Use a range of linking words and phrases (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly', 'over the period') to connect ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive, with limited range. There are several inappropriate word choices and phrasing issues (e.g., 'people by aged', 'keep showing it's steadiness', 'fluctuative condition') that affect clarity. The report would benefit from a wider range of precise vocabulary related to trends (e.g., 'decline', 'increase', 'remain stable', 'peak', 'projected to reach'). Avoid informal or incorrect expressions and aim for more natural and sophisticated language. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors, including incorrect verb forms (e.g., 'The chart show'), subject-verb agreement issues, incorrect prepositions, and problems with tense consistency. Punctuation is also often missing or misused. These errors significantly hinder understanding. To improve, focus on basic sentence structure, ensure subject-verb agreement, use correct tenses (past for historical data, present for current, future forms for predictions), and proofread carefully. Practicing writing simple, accurate sentences before attempting more complex structures would be beneficial.
