Test Report

Your Strengths:

• You included an overall statement and attempted to identify main trends (for example, that the film club had the largest number of participants and that table tennis and musical performances grew).
• You gave some specific figures to support your points (e.g. approximate numbers for the film club and table tennis).

Development Areas:

• Some of the data were inaccurate or contradictory (for example, inconsistent year references and unclear figures for amateur dramatics), which reduced the reliability of your summary.
• Your overview was brief and lacked clear, well-supported comparisons of the most significant features across the period.

Next Steps:

• You should ensure accuracy by checking the figures and years carefully before writing; you could highlight only the most significant data points to support a clear overview.
• You might plan one concise overview sentence that summarised the main trends and then use two body paragraphs to illustrate and compare specific data.

Your Strengths:

• You used a recognisable structure with an introduction, an overall comment, and further detail paragraphs.
• You attempted to use linking phrases to compare trends (for example, using 'by contrast' and 'on the other hand').

Development Areas:

• Paragraphing and sentence sequencing were inconsistent, and some sentences were fragmented or awkward, which interrupted the flow.
• Referencing and cohesion devices were sometimes unclear, which led to repetition and difficulty following specific comparisons.

Next Steps:

• You should plan paragraphing more clearly: one overview paragraph followed by two focused body paragraphs, which will help the reader follow your comparisons.
• You could practise using a wider range of cohesive devices (e.g. however, whereas, meanwhile) and make sure each pronoun or reference clearly points to the correct subject.

Your Strengths:

• You used relevant topic vocabulary (e.g. film club, amateur dramatic, table tennis, musical performances).
• You attempted comparative and descriptive language (e.g. increased sharply, rose steadily, declined).

Development Areas:

• There were frequent spelling errors and misspellings (for example 'larghest', 'throughtout', 'perticipants', 'steadly'), which disrupted clarity.
• Word choice was sometimes imprecise or awkward, and the range of vocabulary was limited, reducing variation in expression.

Next Steps:

• You must proofread to correct spelling and common word-formation errors; using a spellchecker or a short checklist before submitting would help.
• You should build a focused vocabulary list for data description and practise synonyms and collocations so you can vary your language more confidently.

Your Strengths:

• You produced several simple sentences that conveyed meaning and you attempted some more complex structures.
• You used past and present tenses to describe trends, showing an attempt to vary verb forms.

Development Areas:

• Grammar errors, punctuation mistakes and sentence fragments were frequent and sometimes impeded understanding (for example, unclear clause boundaries and missing words).
• Tense and number consistency were inconsistent in places, which reduced the precision of your descriptions.

Next Steps:

• You should focus on sentence combining and practise constructing clear complex sentences while maintaining grammatical accuracy.
• You might review tense consistency and punctuation rules, and do targeted drills on subject-verb agreement and clause linking to reduce frequent errors.
