Overall assessment

The response covers all five countries with a clear overview, logical paragraphs and fluent, varied language. Its rounded chart readings are broadly defensible. More precise descriptions of the measured activity, stronger differentiation between C’s and E’s growth, and clearer reporting of D’s fall and partial recovery would improve the account.

TA

Task Achievement

The response gives a clear overview, covers all five countries and makes useful comparisons. Rounded figures are generally defensible, but the detail could better distinguish C’s strong proportional growth from E’s smaller gain and show the size and partial nature of D’s recovery.

7.0
CC

Coherence and Cohesion

Ideas are organised logically into overview, starting data, and changes, with a range of cohesive devices used naturally and progression clear throughout.

7.0
LR

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is flexible and mostly precise for describing production and trends, though occasional word choices such as 'units' for films and 'distributed' for production slightly reduce accuracy.

7.0
GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

7.0

What to work on next

Keep the focus on films produced, distinguish C’s strong proportional growth from E’s small gain, and describe D’s fall and partial recovery using approximate figures.
