Feedback:

Thank you indeed for writing this report. The key trends in the chart are identified, including the decrease in rented accommodations and the increase in owned accommodations over the years. There are issues with precision and clarity in the description of specific percentages, affecting overall task achievement.

The response lacks a clear overall structure. Information is presented in a somewhat disorganized manner, making it challenging for the reader to follow. There's a need for more explicit linking between sentences and paragraphs.

While some vocabulary is used to convey information, there is room for improvement. There are inaccuracies, such as "milling chart" instead of "given chart," and awkward phrasing. More varied vocabulary could enhance the overall quality of the response.

There are grammatical errors and awkward sentence structures throughout the response, affecting clarity and coherence.
Issues with verb tense consistency and subject-verb agreement are noticeable.

The response attempts to describe the trends in owned and rented accommodations but is hindered by inaccuracies and unclear expressions. The report ought to focus on improving precision, clarity, and grammatical accuracy for a more effective and polished analysis.

The 5.5 sample upgraded to 7.0+

The bar chart illustrates the percentage of households in England and Wales that owned or rented their accommodation between 1918 and 2011. In 1918, nearly 80% of households rented their homes, while only around 23% owned them.

Over the next four decades, the gap between ownership and renting narrowed steadily. By 1953, the proportion of renting households had fallen to around 69%, while ownership had risen to 31%. This trend continued until 1971, when the two categories reached parity, with 50% of households owning and 50% renting.

From 1971 onwards, the trend reversed. Homeownership began to increase steadily, while renting declined. By 1991, the proportion of owning households had risen to 68%, while renting had fallen to 32%. This trend continued until 2001, when ownership peaked at 69% and renting fell to its all time low of 31%.

The final decade saw a slight uptick in renting, with the proportion rising to 36% in 2011. However, ownership remained dominant, accounting for just shy of 65% of households in that year.

Overall, the chart shows a significant shift from renting to homeownership in England and Wales between 1918 and 2011. While renting remains a significant housing tenure, the proportion of owning households has more than doubled over the 93-year period covered by the chart.
