Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains several inaccuracies and omissions. The overall trend is not clearly or accurately described, and specific data points are often incorrect (e.g., bus at 37%, train at 18%, tube constant at 25%). The structure is somewhat disorganized, and the language is often unclear or informal (e.g., 'skyrocketed', 'as compare to', 'graph chart'). To improve, focus on accurately summarizing the main trends, using precise data from the graph, and organizing the information logically with clear comparisons. Also, ensure all modes of transport are covered and the report is written in a formal, academic style.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction and an overview, but the progression of ideas is sometimes difficult to follow due to awkward phrasing and unclear referencing. The use of cohesive devices is limited and often inaccurate (e.g., 'as compare to', 'On the other hand' used incorrectly). Paragraphing is not effectively managed, as the body paragraphs are not clearly separated or logically organized. To improve, use clearer topic sentences, ensure each paragraph focuses on a distinct set of data, and employ a range of linking words accurately.

Lexical Resource

The report attempts to use a range of vocabulary, but there are several inaccuracies and awkward choices (e.g., 'journey to and from commuters', 'skyrocketed as well as by more than 5 times', 'most percentage'). The language is not always natural or precise, and some terms are overused or misused (e.g., 'mode of transport' repeated frequently). To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary (e.g., 'commuters', 'proportion', 'increase dramatically', 'decline significantly'), and ensure word choices are appropriate for the context. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors and punctuation issues that hinder clarity. There are problems with subject-verb agreement, articles, prepositions, and sentence structure (e.g., 'the various modes of transport used to journey to and from commuters', 'bus was the most percentage', 'than rose sharply by 10 percentage'). The range of grammatical structures is limited, and complex sentences are often attempted but not controlled. To improve, focus on writing clear, simple sentences with correct grammar, and gradually incorporate more complex structures with accuracy.
