Overall assessment

The response identifies the main venue shares and reports several accurate figures from both charts. Its overview is limited to locations, however, and the bar-chart discussion omits tap and most age-group comparisons. Frequent grammatical breakdown and confusion between class shares and student counts further limit the clarity of the report.

TA

Task Achievement

The response gives an overview of the main venue shares and largely accurate reported figures, but the overview does not summarise the age-group patterns, the tap category is omitted, and references to attendees confuse class shares with student counts.

CC

Coherence and Cohesion

There is a clear overall structure with cohesive devices such as 'Overall' and 'Turning to', but progression within body paragraphs is mechanical and occasionally breaks down in run-together, unclear sentences.

LR

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate for the task with appropriate terms like 'proportion', 'share', and 'age bracket', though expression is sometimes imprecise or unidiomatic, as in 'using very less this location'.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

Sentence structures show some variety but errors are frequent, including fragments, faulty punctuation, subject-verb and tense problems, which sometimes obscure meaning.
