Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 5.0

The response has a recognisable structure and covers both the monthly-use chart and the membership-age charts, with several accurate figures. However, its overview misses the dominant pattern that male use is higher throughout the year, includes an inaccurate claim about the female low point, and leaves much of the age data unreported. Prioritise an accurate two-part overview and select balanced comparisons from every visual.

Task Achievement

5.0
Scoring rule

The response addresses both chart types and reports some correct values, but the overview contains an inaccurate low point and omits major monthly and age-profile comparisons.

Next step

Highlight that male attendance is higher in every month and that both series peak in summer, then compare all three age groups for both sexes.

CC

Coherence and Cohesion

5.0
Scoring rule

Information is divided into introduction, overview, monthly data, and age data, but several links and comparisons are difficult to follow.

Next step

Use one paragraph for the annual trend and one for the two age profiles, linking figures through direct comparisons rather than vague references.

Lexical Resource

4.5
Scoring rule

Basic chart vocabulary is present, but repetition and frequent inaccurate choices such as “pie chart topics,” “Air scrap,” and “inclined” impair clarity.

Next step

Use precise expressions such as “the chart shows,” “attendance rose,” “peaked,” “declined,” and “accounted for” consistently.
