The bar chart provides data on the number of visitors who came around to France, Italy, Spain, Germany from 2018 to 2021. Overall, the most striking figure is that the number of tourists were a substantial increase in France in each of the given years, with the most marked distinction witnessed in Germany. It is also evident that the number of tourists who visited Italy and Spain rose initially, declined in the following year, and subseaquently surged again, which looked like France and German.

Delving into details, we can see that the figures followed an upward-downward- upward trend. In France, the number of visitors accounted for 240.000 in 2018, in the following year it increased by 20 thousand, making it 60000 more compared to that of Italy in those years. In 2020, the number of tourists of both France and Italy decreased considerably at 180000 and 150000. After felling, these figures climbed to 220000 in France and 170000 in Italy, in 2021.

Another similarity can be observed in next two countries. In Spain, the figure grew from 120000 in 2018 to 140000 in 2019, before dropping to 100000 in 2020. It then rose again to 120000 in 2021. In 2019, In Germany, the figure stood at 100000, 10000 higher in comparison with the figure for its prevoius year. It is registered the slight decline at 70000 in 2020.

Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by describing the main trends and providing specific data for all four countries across the years. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some minor inaccuracies and awkward phrasings that slightly affect clarity. For example, the phrase 'the number of tourists were a substantial increase' is grammatically incorrect, and 'subseaquently' is a spelling error. Additionally, the comparison 'making it 60000 more compared to that of Italy' is unclear and not fully accurate. The overview could be more precise, as it mentions 'France in each of the given years' but France's numbers actually declined in 2020. To improve, focus on using more precise language, ensuring grammatical accuracy, and refining the overview to accurately reflect the overall trends.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references (e.g., 'which looked like France and German' and 'making it 60000 more compared to that of Italy in those years'). The use of cohesive devices is somewhat mechanical, and some sentences are not logically connected. To improve, ensure that each paragraph has a clear central idea and that transitions between sentences and paragraphs are smooth and logical.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a reasonable range of vocabulary related to trends (e.g., 'increased', 'decreased', 'climbed', 'dropped', 'rose'), but there are some inaccuracies and repetitions. For example, 'came around to' is not idiomatic, and 'subseaquently' is a misspelling. The phrase 'the most striking figure is that the number of tourists were a substantial increase' is awkward. To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary, and ensure that word choices are natural and accurate. Also, avoid informal or incorrect expressions. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. For example, 'the number of tourists were' should be 'was', 'After felling' should be 'After falling', and 'In 2019, In Germany' has a punctuation error. There are also issues with subject-verb agreement and article usage. To improve, review grammar rules, especially subject-verb agreement, verb tenses, and punctuation. Practice writing more complex sentences with accurate grammar to enhance overall accuracy.
