Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by identifying the main trends and making relevant comparisons between the cities and the two time periods. The overview is clear and highlights the most significant change (Bangkok surpassing Paris). The data is reported accurately according to the visual description, and the grouping of information is logical. To improve, ensure consistent spelling (e.g., 'Istanbul' and 'similar') and refine the use of pluralization with units (e.g., '11.5 million' rather than '11.5 millions').

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The progression of ideas is easy to follow. However, some cohesive devices and transitions could be more sophisticated. For instance, the phrase 'the remaining regions had also comparable numbers' is somewhat vague and lacks precision in linking the data points. To improve, ensure that your overview more clearly summarizes the main trends without being overly repetitive.

Lexical Resource

You have used a good range of vocabulary to describe changes, such as 'surpassing', 'surging', 'rising noticeably', and 'grew marginally'. However, there are some minor errors in word choice and formation, such as using 'millions' (plural) after a specific number (it should be '11.5 million'). Additionally, ensure consistency in naming; you switch between 'Dubai' and 'Dubai City'. Aim for more variety in how you refer to the data to avoid repetition.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. However, there are several grammatical inaccuracies that prevent a higher score. Specifically, the misuse of 'millions' with specific numerals is a recurring error. There are also minor spelling mistakes (e.g., 'Istabul', 'abou', 'occured', 'smilar') and some awkward phrasing in the final paragraph. To improve, focus on proofreading for spelling and ensuring that pluralization rules for units of measurement are applied correctly.
