The provided bar chart demonstrates three methods of waste disposal in a European country between 2005 to 2008.

Overall, all categories experienced a downward trend throughout the whole period, with the exception of burning, which declined before returning to its initial level.

Focusing on the first two years, landfill was the highest figure, which recorded 70 million tonnes, while the method called dumping in sea was the lowest generating only about 52 million tonnes in 2005. By 2006, landfill declined slightly to 60 million tonnes, which was similar to burning. Regarding dumping in sea, it dropped to 50 million tonnes.

Focusing on the second two years, “landfill” and “dumping in sea” methods were similar, recording 50 million tonnes. Even though burning showed a slight decrease to 40 million tonnes in 2007, it soared to around 65 million tonnes, which was the initial level of this method. By 2008, Landfill and dumping in sea dropped modestly, remaining similar to each other.

Task Response

The report attempts to describe the main features of the bar chart, but it contains significant inaccuracies and misinterpretations of the data. The description of trends and specific values is often incorrect, leading to a flawed overall representation. The report needs to accurately reflect the data presented in the chart and avoid misstating the values and trends. For example, the report mentions that all categories experienced a downward trend, which is not accurate for 'burning'. Also, the values mentioned for 'dumping in sea' are incorrect. To improve, focus on accurately reading and reporting the data, and ensure that the trends described align with the visual information.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally understandable, but the organization could be improved. The overview is not entirely accurate as not all categories experienced a downward trend. The body paragraphs lack clear transitions and the information is not grouped logically. Consider grouping information by method of waste disposal or by year to improve coherence. Also, ensure that each paragraph has a clear focus and that the sentences within the paragraph support that focus.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise and varied. There is some repetition of words like 'declined,' 'dropped,' and 'similar.' Try to use synonyms and a wider range of descriptive language to enhance the report. For example, instead of 'declined slightly,' you could use 'experienced a marginal decrease' or 'fell marginally.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity. For example, the sentence 'Focusing on the first two years, landfill was the highest figure, which recorded 70 million tonnes, while the method called dumping in sea was the lowest generating only about 52 million tonnes in 2005' contains awkward phrasing and inaccuracies. Pay closer attention to sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, and the correct use of prepositions. Proofread carefully to identify and correct these errors.
