Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by presenting the main features of the bar chart and making relevant comparisons. The overall trend is clearly identified, and the data for most countries is accurately reported. However, there are a few minor inaccuracies in the figures (e.g., Denmark at 12,500 km instead of 13,000, France at 12,000 instead of 12,500, Italy at 11,000 instead of 11,500, UK at 10,500 instead of 10,000, and Germany and Spain both at 8,000 instead of just under 10,000 and 9,500 respectively). Additionally, the EU average is stated as 10,000 km, whereas the visual description indicates it is approximately 9,000 km. These inaccuracies are not extensive but could be refined for greater precision. The report also contains minor spelling and capitalization errors (e.g., 'european' should be 'European', 'Denamark' should be 'Denmark'). Overall, the response is well-structured and covers the key points, but improving data accuracy and proofreading would enhance the task achievement.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear overall statement and a comparison of countries above and below the EU average. However, the repetition of the same sentence about countries above the European average in both the overview and the second paragraph is redundant and disrupts the flow. To improve, avoid repeating information and ensure each paragraph introduces new details. The use of cohesive devices is adequate but could be more varied to enhance the smooth progression of ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task, with terms like 'accounted for', 'closely followed', and 'by contrast' showing a good range. However, there are some inaccuracies and repetitions, such as 'travelled above european average' being used twice, and the phrase 'accounted the highest' is not idiomatic (should be 'accounted for the highest'). To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary, and ensure correct collocations. Also, avoid repeating the same phrases and consider using synonyms like 'exceeded' or 'surpassed'. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For example, 'Denamark' is misspelled, 'european' should be capitalized, and 'accounted the highest' is incorrect. Additionally, the sentence 'at a person travelling approximately 8,000 km per year by car' is awkward and unclear. There is also a lack of variety in sentence structures, with many sentences following the same pattern. To improve, proofread for spelling and grammar, use a wider range of complex structures, and ensure that each sentence is clear and accurate.
