The line graph illustrates the variation in three types of crime in Manchester city centre between 2003 and 2012.

Overall, burglary initially recorded the highest crime figure; then it decreased dramatically and remained at its lowest level over the period. Meanwhile, at the beginning of the period, car theft reported the second-highest number; later it climbed and reached a peak of around 2800 resulting in the highest crime, and robbery witnessed the lowest rate throughout the period.

Looking at burglary, in 2003, it was the most popular crime in the urban city, starting at approximately 3,500 and peaking at around 3,800 in 2004 before declining sharply to hit a low of around 1100. Afterwards, it rebounded and stood at 1500 in 2009, after which it dipped again, reaching at 1500 in 2011 before decreasing to about 1400 by 2012.

The figure for car theft showed a moderate increase by the end of the period, which stood at around 2300 in 2003; then it decreased to reach its lowest point at about 2000 in 2000; after recovering, it peaked at 2800 by 2012. In contrast, robbery represented the lowest rate for the crime, increasing from 600 to around 900 between 2003 and 2005; after dropping slightly, it levelled off at about 550 until 2009, and then rebounded to approximately 600 by 2012.

Task Response

The report addresses the task and provides an overview of the main trends, but it contains several inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the data. For example, the peak for burglary is stated as 3,800 in 2004, whereas the data shows it remained at 3,500; car theft is said to peak at 2,800 by 2012, but the data shows a peak of 2,700 in 2003-2004 and a final value of 2,200; and the description of car theft's lowest point as 'about 2000 in 2000' is incorrect (the period starts in 2003, and the lowest is 1,600 in 2008). Additionally, the robbery figures are described as increasing to 900, which is not supported by the data (it remained around 500). These inaccuracies detract from the task achievement. To improve, ensure that all figures are accurately reported and that the overview clearly summarizes the main trends without introducing unsupported data. Focus on presenting the key changes and comparisons accurately.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs for each crime category. The use of cohesive devices is generally effective, but there are a few minor lapses in clarity, such as the phrase 'reaching at 1500' and the ambiguous reference to 'it' in the car theft paragraph. The paragraphing is well managed, but the overview could be more concise and directly address the main trends without overcomplicating the description.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, including terms like 'dramatically,' 'rebounded,' 'levelled off,' and 'moderate increase.' However, there are some inaccuracies and awkward phrasings, such as 'the most popular crime' (which is informal) and 'reaching at' (incorrect preposition). The lexical choices are generally natural, but a more precise and formal academic tone would enhance the response.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a variety of sentence structures, including complex sentences and appropriate tense usage. However, there are minor grammatical errors and phrasing issues, such as 'reaching at' (should be 'reaching'), 'in 2000' (likely a typo for '2005'), and some awkward constructions like 'it was the most popular crime in the urban city.' These errors are infrequent and do not impede understanding, but they prevent the report from achieving a higher band score.
