Why this response received Band 7.0
The response provides a clear overview and systematically covers consumption, production, and profit distribution, using nearly all figures accurately. Its strongest feature is the complete selection of key proportions and leaders across the three charts; the main limitation is awkward lexical phrasing such as "Japanese dissipate" and "coffee assembly," compounded by a single-block presentation. Prioritise conventional chart vocabulary and separate the three datasets into focused paragraphs.
IELTS Writing Criteria Scores
Task Achievement
The overview accurately identifies the leading consumers, producer, and profit recipient, while the details report virtually every proportion and comparison correctly.
Refine the Japan comparison by stating its 18% production share and 8% consumption share directly rather than calling it a top producer.
Coherence and Cohesion
Information follows a clear sequence from consumption to production and profit, with effective comparative links despite being presented as one paragraph.
Give each pie chart a focused detail paragraph so that the three datasets and their comparisons are visually distinct.
Lexical Resource
The response demonstrates a reasonable range of chart vocabulary, but several inaccurate choices, including "correlate," "dissipate," "assembly," and "delivery industries," sound unnatural.
Prefer standard terms such as "illustrate," "consume," "production," and "delivery companies" when describing shares.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy
Varied complex sentences are generally controlled and meaning remains clear, though article, countability, and percentage constructions contain occasional errors.
Review percentage phrases and group nouns, using forms such as "41% of coffee" and "Japanese consumers" consistently.
