The bar chart compares several transports which people used to commute in three different cities labelled as city A, B, C in 2023. Overall, cars were the main transport vehicle to travel to the work, while the reverse was true for on foot. Additionally, workers in city C used all four vehicles in balance.

Focusing on city A firstly, the proportion of car uses stood at about 52%, accounting for the biggest number compared to others. Also, around 25% of city employees travelled to work using public transport (buses), whereas 12% workers used bicycles and a mere 10% of them commuted on foot.

Turning to the shares of city B, car usage made up almost 48% which was the most favored vehicle to travel to work in this city and the figure for buses comprises just over 35%. Furthermore, around 18% staff used bicycles, while only 10% workers went work on foot which was not common among citizens.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing an overview and comparing the main modes of transport across the three cities. The structure is clear, with a logical progression from one city to the next. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., City B car usage is stated as 48% instead of 38%, and bus usage as 35% instead of 34%), and a few minor omissions (e.g., not explicitly stating the highest and lowest values for each city). To improve, ensure all figures are accurately reported and consider highlighting the most significant comparisons more explicitly, such as the contrast between car usage in City A and City C.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear overall statement and separate paragraphs for each city. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and minor lapses in cohesion (e.g., 'As well as,' 'comparing to'). The use of linking words is somewhat mechanical, and the progression from one city to the next could be smoother. To improve, use a wider range of cohesive devices naturally and ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic with smooth transitions.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a reasonable range of vocabulary related to transport and data description (e.g., 'proportion,' 'accounted for,' 'commuted,' 'staggering'). However, there are some inaccuracies and less natural choices (e.g., 'transport vehicle,' 'the reverse was true for on foot,' 'used all four vehicles in balance'). To achieve a higher score, aim for more precise and varied vocabulary, and avoid repetition. Use terms like 'mode of transport' and ensure word choices are idiomatic and contextually appropriate.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity (e.g., 'several transports which people used,' 'the figure for buses comprises just over 35%,' 'that of used buses,' 'went work on foot'). Punctuation and article usage also need attention. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, correct use of articles, and ensure sentences are grammatically complete. Practicing a variety of complex structures with accuracy will help raise the score.
