Task Response

The report addresses the main requirements of the task and provides an overview of the key features. However, the development of the data is inconsistent. While the introduction and overview are clear, the body paragraphs lack sufficient detail and mathematical comparison. For instance, the final paragraph is too brief and merely repeats information already mentioned in the overview rather than providing a detailed analysis of the passenger numbers or ticket prices. To improve, ensure that every category mentioned in the overview (lines, length, journeys, and price) is fully supported with specific data and comparative language in the body paragraphs. Additionally, be careful with spelling and typographical errors (e.g., 'jouneys', 'Maxico', 'contarst') to maintain professional clarity.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the progression is occasionally interrupted by abrupt transitions and incomplete sentences. For example, the final paragraph is too brief and lacks the necessary detail to function as a cohesive concluding or summary statement. To improve, ensure that every sentence is fully developed and that cohesive devices (like 'In contrast' or 'Moving on') are used to link complete ideas rather than just fragments.

Lexical Resource

There is an attempt to use varied vocabulary (e.g., 'extensive', 'witness', 'accounted for'), but there are several spelling errors ('jouneys', 'contarst', 'Maxico', 'nuber') and some awkward phrasing ('leaving Maxico and Beijing at the bottom of price list'). To reach a higher band, focus on accuracy in spelling and use more natural collocations. For instance, instead of 'witness the maximum number', you might use 'recorded the highest number'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report suffers from significant grammatical issues, particularly regarding sentence structure. There are several fragments (sentences that lack a main verb), such as 'In Tokyo subway, Maxico city and London Tube about 150,140 and 127 miles of tracks are laid in order to make easy commuting.' This sentence is confusingly constructed. Additionally, there are issues with subject-verb agreement and article usage. Aim to write complete, complex sentences and carefully check that each subject has a corresponding, correctly conjugated verb.
