Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You identify several important patterns, including the UK as India’s largest export destination in 2000 and Germany’s dominance of exports to China in both years. However, the overview is brief and does not clearly summarise the main contrast: India’s leading shares shifted from the UK and Belgium towards Germany, while China’s already large German share grew further. Some details are inaccurate: India’s lowest shares in 2011 were Austria and Finland at 2%, not 1%; and China’s second-lowest shares in 2000 were Austria and Spain at 2%, rather than its second-largest shares. The response also describes exports as goods coming “from” countries, which obscures the chart’s direction. A more complete overview and careful ranking of figures would strengthen the report.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction, an overview, and separate paragraphs for India and China. This helps readers follow the broad division of information, and phrases such as “On the other hand” signal a change of focus. However, progression within paragraphs is limited, and the repeated pattern of listing the largest and lowest figures makes the report feel mechanical. The opening promise, “I will give you detail report in upcomming paragraph,” does not add useful information and interrupts the formal flow. Comparisons between the two destinations and between years are also not consistently linked. Organise the details around the main changes and use clearer links to show how each figure supports the overview.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You use some relevant chart vocabulary, including “exports,” “percentage,” “lowest,” and “second position,” so the topic is generally understandable. However, the range is limited and several phrases are repeated, particularly “export more goods” and “exports goods by.” These combinations are unnatural and sometimes make it unclear whether goods are being sent to or coming from a country. There are also noticeable spelling errors, such as “upcomming,” “expoets,” “lowes,” and “postion,” alongside inconsistent forms such as “india” and “inida.” Use precise terms for shares and rankings, and check spelling carefully. More varied, accurate language would make the comparisons clearer and more appropriate for an academic report.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

The response communicates its basic meaning through mostly simple statements, but grammatical control is inconsistent. The opening, “Pie chart illustrate,” lacks an article and subject–verb agreement, while “In the 2000 india export” shows problems with articles, capitalization, and verb form. Tense and agreement errors recur in phrases such as “china has increase” and “india exports more things.” Some longer sentences attempt to connect comparisons, but their structures are often faulty, as in “in same way india expoets goods from Belgium.” Punctuation is also weak, with missing spaces after full stops and inconsistent capitalization. Practise accurate simple sentences first, then combine them using controlled clauses and consistent past-tense forms.
