Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.5

You have successfully identified the main features of both the pie chart and the table. You provided a clear overview and supported your points with data from the visuals. However, the response lacks precision in reporting. For example, you state that '44% library user are full-time undergraduate' and 'They most likey to visit library', but the chart actually shows the composition of users, not necessarily the frequency of visits. Additionally, some data points are slightly inaccurate or confusingly phrased, such as the interpretation of the satisfaction table. To reach a higher band, ensure that your summary accurately reflects the specific labels and data provided in the prompt.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.5

The response is organised into logical paragraphs, which helps the reader follow the information. You use some cohesive devices like 'In contrast', 'In addition', and 'However' to link ideas. However, the use of these devices is sometimes mechanical or slightly awkward, such as 'In Pie chart' and 'In table', which would be better phrased as 'According to the pie chart' or 'Regarding the table'. Furthermore, there are issues with punctuation and sentence structure that occasionally disrupt the flow of ideas. Improving the variety of linking words and ensuring smoother transitions between sentences would enhance the overall coherence.

Lexical Resource — Band 6.0

Your vocabulary is generally adequate for the task, allowing you to convey the main points. You use some topic-specific terms like 'undergraduate', 'postgraduate', 'satisfaction', and 'availability'. However, there are several instances of word-choice errors and awkward phrasing, such as 'most likey to visit' and 'No any individuals that was not satisfied'. Additionally, there are spelling errors like 'librarty', 'satisfcation', and 'Moreever'. To improve, focus on using more precise academic vocabulary and proofreading for spelling and collocation errors to ensure your writing sounds more natural and professional.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 6.0

The response contains a mix of simple and some attempted complex sentence structures. However, there are frequent grammatical errors throughout the text, including issues with subject-verb agreement ('The pie chart illustrate'), article usage ('in library'), and sentence fragments ('In contrast ,Only limited user of the Academic staff and They go to library very often'). Punctuation is also inconsistent, with misplaced commas and periods. While these errors do not completely impede communication, they are frequent enough to lower the score. Focusing on basic grammatical accuracy and sentence construction will help you achieve a higher band.
