The image contains two visual elements: a bar chart and a pie chart. The bar chart illustrates grams of CO2 per passenger-kilometer for various modes of transportation: Passenger cars (140), Buses (70), Coaches (20), Maritime (20), Rail (30), and Air (380). The pie chart depicts percentages for various transportation infrastructures: Roads (52%), Railways (31%), Public transport (10%), Intermodal (2%), Inland waterway (1%), Ports (1%), Airports (1%), and Unknown (2%).

The bar graph gives information about the number of CO2 emissions for various kinds of transport in the European Union, while the pie chart shows the proportion of EU funds spent on eight transport forms.

Overall, air accounted for the highest CO2 emisssions, while coaches were the lowest among all transport forms. Moreover, the maximum EU funds was spent on roads, whereas intermodal, inland waterway, and airports were the lowest categories.

Looking at the details, the maximum CO2 emissions were in the air, with around 370 grams per passenger, followed by passenger cars, with approximately 130 grams. CO2 emissions in buses stood at about 60 grams. In addition, the figures for maritime and rail categories were identical, with exactly 50 grams for each. Coaches received below 50 grams, the lowest figure among all categories.

When it comes to the percentage of EU funds, roads were the dominant category, with more than half of the total number, 52%. Railways and public transport followed behind, with 31% and 10%, respectively. The numbers of ports and unkown forms of transport were the same, with 2% for each. The lowest figure was seen in intermodal, inland waterway, and airports transports, with 1% for each.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing an overview and detailed comparison of both charts. The structure is clear, with a logical progression from overall trends to specific data. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., maritime and rail emissions are stated as 50 grams instead of 20 and 30, respectively; ports and unknown are given as 2% instead of 1% and 2%). Additionally, the report omits the exact figure for coaches (20 grams) and misstates the lowest category in the pie chart (intermodal, inland waterway, and airports are 1%, but ports also 1%). To improve, ensure data is accurately transcribed from the visual and avoid minor spelling errors (e.g., 'emisssions', 'unkown'). Overall, the response is well-organized and covers the main features, but attention to precise data would enhance task achievement.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear overall structure: introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs for each chart. The use of cohesive devices (e.g., 'Overall', 'Looking at the details', 'When it comes to') helps the reader follow the information effortlessly. Paragraphing is logical and appropriate. Minor improvements could be made by ensuring that the transition between the two charts is even smoother, but overall the coherence is strong.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and varied for the task, including terms like 'accounted for', 'dominant category', 'followed behind', and 'the lowest figure'. There is good use of synonyms and paraphrasing (e.g., 'CO2 emissions' vs 'figures'). A few minor inaccuracies in word choice (e.g., 'the number of CO2 emissions' could be 'the amount of CO2 emissions') and slight repetition of 'transport' could be refined, but overall the lexical resource is strong and natural.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including comparative forms, passive voice, and complex sentences. Punctuation and grammar are generally accurate, with only a few minor errors (e.g., 'emisssions' typo, 'the maximum EU funds was' should be 'the maximum EU funds were'). These are minor and do not impede understanding. The overall grammatical control is high, and the report would benefit from a final proofread to eliminate small errors.
