Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0
You cover all three visuals and report several relevant figures, including the two largest loan categories at 38% and the 1% share for children’s DVDs. You also identify the broad rise in loans over the period, followed by a dip and later increase. However, some key details are misreported: the age figures for adults aged 65 and over and young adults are reversed (12% and 15%), and the chart shows 22% for children, not simply 22 members. The trend description also misses the overall comparison between the starting and ending totals. There is no clear overview bringing together the main patterns. A more accurate overview and careful distinction between percentages and counts would make the summary more complete and precise.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5
The response has a basic, sensible sequence: it discusses the age chart and category table first, then the loans graph. Phrases such as “The table shows” and “The graph show” help signal changes between visuals, and the reader can generally follow the information. However, the first paragraph combines two visuals without a clear organising overview, and the ideas are often presented as a list of figures rather than grouped comparisons. Linking phrases such as “On the other hand” do not always express a meaningful contrast. The final paragraph gives a chronological account but does not clearly summarise the overall trend. Use a short overview followed by focused paragraphs, and connect comparisons more precisely.
Lexical Resource: Band 5.0
You use some relevant task vocabulary, including “loan category,” “fiction,” “non-fiction,” “slightly increase,” and “decrease,” so the topic is usually understandable. However, the range is limited and several phrases are repeated, especially “number of loans” and “members of library.” Some word choices are inaccurate or awkward, such as “loan member” for the total number of loans and “biggest number of loan category” for the largest shares. Spelling errors, including “labrary” and “samllest,” also reduce accuracy. Build a more precise set of terms for proportions and trends, such as “accounted for,” “share,” “rose,” and “fell,” and check spelling before submitting.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0
Most sentences use simple structures, and you attempt some longer sentences to describe comparisons and changes. However, errors are frequent and sometimes make relationships between ideas unclear. For example, “The charts illustrates” has subject–verb disagreement, while “which they members of library” is not a complete or correctly formed clause. The trend sentence “after 2007 to 2011 the numbers of loans are slightly increase” has problems with tense, verb form, and sentence construction. Articles and plurals are also inconsistent, as in “the loan category” and “the numbers of loan.” Practise accurate simple sentences first, then combine them using clauses such as “which accounted for” or “before rising again.”
