Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify the chart’s subject and report figures across all seven age groups, so the response contains relevant coverage. However, the overview is vague: “Men in the high percentages and women for the opposit” does not clearly summarise the main pattern, and the claim that there is “no stability” is not a useful overview. Several figures are inaccurate, including men aged 30–39 in 2006 (reported as 84% rather than about 87%) and women aged 50–59 in 2006 (85% rather than about 74%). The response also lists many values without selecting the most important comparisons, such as the substantial rise among women over time and the relatively small change among younger men. A clearer overview and more accurate, selective reporting would strengthen task coverage.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has an introduction, an overview, and two body paragraphs, and the age groups are broadly presented in sequence. This gives the information some organisation. However, progression is weakened by repetitive, list-like reporting and unclear links between ideas. Phrases such as “Then following by second activities” and “Let have a look remaining information” do not guide the reader effectively, while “This show compraisen among the activite” does not explain what comparison is being made. The overview also introduces “fluctucation” and “remain stable” without identifying which groups these refer to. Use clear topic sentences to group the main trends, then connect figures with accurate comparison language rather than presenting them as a long catalogue.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You use some relevant chart vocabulary, including “percentages,” “categories,” “ages,” and “driving licence,” and you attempt to describe change with “increment” and “decrement.” However, the range is limited and several word choices or collocations are inaccurate, making parts difficult to understand. For example, “graphs chart illustrate” is redundant, “second activities” does not describe an age group, and “no stability in all the activities” is unsuitable for describing the data. Spelling errors such as “fuu,” “opposit,” “fluctucation,” and “compraisen” also reduce clarity. Build a more precise set of terms for trends and comparisons, and check spelling and word forms before finishing.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt both short statements and longer sentences containing several figures, but control is inconsistent, and many sentences have errors that make relationships between information unclear. For example, “The given graphs chart illustrate information” has a subject–verb problem, while “Overall, it can that there are noticeable among the categories” is missing essential grammatical elements. Other examples include “some categories shows” and “This show,” where subject–verb agreement is faulty. Sentence boundaries and punctuation are also unreliable, particularly in the long sequences of figures joined by commas. Practise building complete sentences with a clear subject and verb, and use a consistent pattern such as “Among men aged 17–20, the figure was…” before adding comparisons.
