Task Response

The report covers the main trends and makes some comparisons, but there are inaccuracies in the data reported. For example, the report states that sea transportation accounted for almost 45% in 2010, but the visual description states that it accounted for over 50%. Also, the report states that exports by road constituted 20% in 2010, but the visual description states that it was around 12%. To improve, ensure that the data reported is accurate and consistent with the visual description.

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overview and detailed paragraphs. However, the transitions between some sentences and ideas could be smoother.
