Overall assessment

The response demonstrates a clear structure, an effective overview, and mostly accurate data selection across the three groups. Its main limitations are occasional grammatical breakdowns, such as the incomplete relative clause describing women, and some informal or imprecise wording like 'Anyways' and 'sharp increase of around 27%'.

TA

Task Achievement

The response covers all three groups across the period, gives a clear overview of rising trends with women consistently highest, and data figures are broadly consistent with the chart, with only minor imprecision in describing the men's change.

7.0
CC

Coherence and Cohesion

Ideas are logically organised with clear paragraphing, an overview, and cohesive devices such as 'Similarly' and 'On the other hand', though a few linkages are mechanical or informal.

7.0
LR

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is generally flexible and appropriate for describing trends, including 'proportion', 'dietary guideline', and 'gradual increase', but phrases like 'Anyways' and 'lesser change in the amount' reduce precision.

7.0
GRA

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

A range of structures is attempted, but errors including the missing verb in 'women who the mentioned proportions' and tense inconsistencies lower accuracy despite mostly clear meaning.

6.5

What to work on next

Proofread for complete grammatical sentences and replace informal or ambiguous phrases with precise, formal descriptions of the data.
