Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 3.5

You identify the two broad topics in the visuals and report several location percentages, including private studios at 48%, school halls at 24%, community halls at 18%, and college-based studios at 10%. However, the response does not give a clear overview of the main patterns, and it omits the chart’s key information about dance styles and student numbers by age group. The statement that students are divided into groups by age is relevant, but “there are much interest of students” does not describe a specific comparison. Some locations are also mislabelled or unclear, such as “private cabin” and “bigger hall … of self studies.” The response is 36 words below the required minimum, which further limits its coverage. Include an overview and accurate comparisons from both charts.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 3.0

The response moves from the location chart to the age groups, so there is a basic attempt to follow the visuals. It also uses simple sequencing such as “there is” and “the reaming,” which gives the reader some sense of progression. However, the ideas are presented as a series of short, disconnected statements rather than organised paragraphs. The opening does not clearly introduce the charts, and the final comment about student interest is not linked to evidence. References such as “it” and “there” are sometimes unclear, while repeated sentence openings make the flow mechanical. Group the response into an introduction, an overview, and focused detail paragraphs, using clear links between comparisons.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You use some task-related vocabulary, including “percentage,” “students,” “age,” and “school hall,” and you attempt to describe categories and proportions. However, word choice and spelling errors often make the intended meaning difficult to identify. For example, “private cabin” does not accurately name private studios, “communication” appears to be intended as community, and “self studies” does not convey the chart category. Phrases such as “there are much interest” are also unnatural, and “part” is repeated without clearly identifying what it means. Build a small set of accurate terms for locations, dance styles, and proportions, and use them consistently. Check spelling and collocations before submitting.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.0

Most of the response uses short, simple sentence patterns, often beginning with “there is” or “there are.” This gives you a basic way to report information, but there is little variety in sentence structure and few accurate comparisons. Errors in articles, agreement, and sentence formation are frequent: for example, “the group of the students are divided” has a subject–verb agreement problem, and “there are much interest” does not use the correct grammatical form. Several lines also lack clear sentence boundaries or punctuation, which makes the relationships between ideas harder to follow. Practise forming complete sentences with accurate subjects and verbs, then combine related figures using structures such as “while” and “whereas.”
