Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.0

You identify several relevant figures, including 34% for buying property overseas in the recent-increase chart and 33% for travel as the main reason. However, the report does not clearly explain what the two charts measure, and the overview is incomplete: it highlights the 34% figure but misses that travel is the leading main reason and buying property overseas is the leading reason for recent growth. Some comparisons are unclear or inaccurate, such as calling travel the “minimum reason” in the second chart, where it is 3% but “no change” is 15% and other categories are also shown. The response is also two words below the required minimum. A clearer overview and accurate, selective comparisons would make the information more fully addressed.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.0

There is an attempt to organise the response with an opening, an overview beginning “Overall,” and further details. You also use basic linking expressions such as “Moreover,” “Furthermore,” and “lastly.” However, the information is not arranged in a clear progression: figures from the two charts are mixed together, and the final paragraph repeats the comparison of 34% and 33% without explaining their different meanings. Several sentences are difficult to follow, for example, “Both of chart give diffrent comperison the recents 34% and comen 33%.” Group the first chart’s reasons in one paragraph and the recent-change figures in another, using clear references to each chart. This would make the report easier to follow.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You use some task-related vocabulary, including “percentage,” “reason,” “business,” and “personal development,” so the reader can recognise the general subject. However, the range is basic and repetitive, with “reason of learning” used several times, and a number of word choices or forms make the meaning unclear. For example, “tutor of international language” does not accurately describe the teachers, while “travler” and “comen” appear to be attempts at “travel” and “common.” Spelling errors such as “oversease,” “diffrents,” and “interast” also reduce clarity. Use precise chart-reporting phrases such as “teachers reported,” “the most common reason,” and “the proportion citing…” and check spelling carefully.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

The response attempts both simple statements and longer sentences, and the opening “The pie chart gives information…” shows an effort to introduce the data. However, grammatical control is inconsistent, and errors frequently make relationships between ideas hard to understand. Examples include “the second pie chart show,” where the subject and verb do not agree, and “Both of chart give,” which has an incorrect determiner and plural form. The sentence “Minimum reason of leaning native is 3% of travels” also lacks a clear grammatical structure. Most sentences rely on basic patterns, with limited accurate use of complex clauses. Practise forming complete sentences with a clear subject and verb, and check articles, agreement, and punctuation before submitting.
