The bar chart compares the number of international tourists visiting six different tourist attractions in 2005, 2015 and 2025, with figures given in thousands.

Overall, the number of visitors in all six attractions increased over the period. Additionally, the beach remained the most popular, whereas the national park remained the least popular among tourists.

In 2005, the highest figure was recorded for the beach at 1.2 million visitors, while the museum attracted 800 thousand tourists. By contrast, the national park had the lowest number of visitors at just 300 thousand. Meanwhile, historic site, theme park and zoo recorded moderate figures of 500 thousand, 600 thousand and 400 thousand visitors respectively.

In 2015 and 2025, a similar pattern was observed, with the beach attracted the highest number of visitors at 1.4 million in 2015 and 1.5 million in 2025, this was followed by the museum with 1 million visitors in 2015 and 1.2 million in 2025. The national park was again the least popular, although its figure rose from 500 thousand in 2015 to 700 thousand in 2025.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing a clear overview and detailed comparison of the data across the three years. The overall trend is correctly identified, and key features such as the most and least popular attractions are highlighted. The data is presented accurately, with only minor omissions (e.g., not mentioning the exact figures for the historic site, theme park, and zoo in 2015 and 2025). The report is well-structured and coherent, with a logical progression from the overview to specific details. To improve, ensure that all data points are covered and that the language remains precise (e.g., 'the beach attracted' instead of 'the beach attracted').

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and easy to follow. The introduction clearly paraphrases the task, and the overall trend is presented in a separate paragraph. The body paragraphs logically group the data by time periods, and the use of cohesive devices (e.g., 'Overall', 'Additionally', 'By contrast', 'Meanwhile') is effective. However, there is a minor lapse in cohesion in the second body paragraph where the sentence 'this was followed by the museum...' could be more smoothly connected to the previous sentence. Overall, the paragraphing is well managed and the message is clear.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task. Words such as 'compares', 'recorded', 'attracted', 'moderate figures', and 'least popular' are used accurately. There is some repetition of 'visitors' and 'attractions', but this is acceptable. The phrasing is generally natural and precise, though there is room for more sophisticated lexical variation (e.g., 'witnessed a rise', 'saw an increase'). Overall, the lexical resource is strong and effectively conveys the data. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a variety of sentence structures, including complex sentences and comparisons. However, there are a few grammatical errors that affect accuracy. For example, 'with the beach attracted the highest number' should be 'with the beach attracting the highest number' or 'the beach attracted the highest number'. Also, the sentence 'this was followed by the museum' is a comma splice; it should be joined with a semicolon or a conjunction. These errors are minor but noticeable. With more careful proofreading, the grammatical accuracy could be improved.
