Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You cover all three visuals and identify several important features: adults aged 18–64 form the largest membership group, adult and children’s fiction each account for 38% of loans, and loans are highest in 2016 and lowest in 2007. These comparisons are relevant and broadly accurate. However, some details are incomplete or imprecise: the chart shows adults aged 65 and over as the smallest membership group, but the overview does not clearly compare their share with the other groups; the loans trend also includes a rise from 2007 followed by fluctuations, which is not explained. The statement that there is a “sudden decrease” in 2007 is unclear because 2007 is the starting point. Select and report the main changes more precisely to develop the summary further.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction, an overview, and paragraphs describing membership and loans. This gives the reader a coherent overall arrangement, and phrases such as “Overall” and “Besides 2016” attempt to connect ideas. However, progression is sometimes weakened by unclear or mechanical links. For example, “Therefore, by category in this” does not clearly show how the category data relates to the preceding trend, while “Besides 2016” introduces the 2011 peak awkwardly. Some information is also repeated, particularly the claim that adults are the largest group. Use clearer topic sentences and organise the details consistently—for example, membership first, then loan categories, then the decade-long trend—with linking phrases that express the exact relationship between points.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use relevant vocabulary for describing charts, including “participants,” “category,” “peak,” “decrease,” and “percent,” so the main information is generally understandable. There are also attempts to vary wording, such as “substantial number” and “least members.” However, several choices or forms are inaccurate or unnatural: “participants age” is not the right expression for membership groups, “the loans are on peak” is awkward, and “they are very less” is unclear. Spelling errors such as “describee” and “theere” also reduce accuracy. Build a more precise range of chart language and check collocations and word forms; for instance, describe figures as “accounting for” a share and trends as “reaching a peak” or “declining.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

You attempt both simple and more complex sentences, including clauses with “while” and “which,” and the overall meaning can usually be followed. However, some grammatical errors recur in agreement, articles, sentence construction, and punctuation. For example, “the number of loans are higher” should use a singular verb, while “the adult members are higher” does not form a clear comparison. The sentence beginning “Therefore, by category in this” is also structurally incomplete, and commas are often missing after introductory phrases. These errors do not generally prevent understanding, but they limit control. Practise accurate subject–verb agreement and build comparisons with clear subjects and verbs, while retaining a mix of sentence patterns.
