Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.5

You identify some important features, including Germany’s dominance in exports to China and the UK’s large share of exports to India in 2000. However, the overview is incomplete and several figures or comparisons are inaccurate, which limits how fully the charts are reported. For example, you say Germany had the largest Indian share in 2000 at 29%, but 29% belongs to the UK; Germany was 15%. You also describe Germany as highest for India in 2000 in the following paragraph, repeating the error. The 2011 India and China figures are partly covered, but the 2011 India overview is confused with 2000. Focus on accurate key changes: Germany rose in both markets, especially China, while the UK’s Indian share fell substantially.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5

The response has a basic paragraph structure, with an introduction, an overview and two detail paragraphs, and you attempt to compare India with China using phrases such as “In contrast” and “In addition.” However, the progression is difficult to follow because the details are not consistently organised by year or destination, and the final paragraph incorrectly refers to India in 2000 before moving to China in 2011. Repetition of “An analysis of the image” and “An evident of the image” also makes the linking mechanical rather than clarifying relationships. Group the information consistently—for example, compare the two destinations in 2000, then in 2011—and use clear references to each year and market.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some task-related vocabulary, including “share,” “largest,” “smallest,” and “in contrast,” so the reader can recognise that you are describing proportions. However, the range is limited and several word choices or collocations are inaccurate, sometimes making the meaning unclear. “Imports goods” is not appropriate for the charts, which show exports, while “popular share” and “very higest” do not express the intended comparison naturally. There are also noticeable spelling errors, such as “follwed,” “Austra,” and “considerbly.” Use precise chart language consistently, such as “accounted for,” “represented,” and “percentage,” and check spelling before submitting.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt a few longer sentence patterns, including “whereas” and “In contrast,” but most sentences rely on simple structures, and errors are frequent enough to make some statements hard to interpret. For example, “The pie charts represents” has subject–verb disagreement, and “Germany accounts for 29% which is the largest share” lacks clear sentence control and reports a confusing relationship. Articles and sentence boundaries are also inconsistent, as in “exports goods to china in 2000 majority of the share is Germany.” Improve accuracy by using a clear subject and verb in each sentence, checking singular/plural agreement, and separating comparisons into complete sentences. Punctuate after introductory phrases and capitalise country names.
