The graph illustrates how many tourists used three main airports (JFK, LG, and New) in New York City over a 5-year period between 1995 and 2000.

Overall, the number of tourists at LG airport increased significantly, whereas the figures for New airport climbed slightly. In contrast, the number of passengers at JFK fluctuated throughout the period.

In 1995, the figures for LG airport stood at nearly 35 million before experiencing steady growth to precisely 50 million tourists in 1999, after which it soared to just below 70 million by 2000. The number of tourists at New airport, on the other hand, began at just under 20 million and then rose gradually to just over 40 million in 1998, after which the figure remained relatively stable at this level until 2000.

In terms of JFK airport, the number of visitors rose steadily to just below 50 million in 1997 and surpassed LG in that year. However, the figure then dropped to just over 30 million by 1999 before reaching its peak at approximately 44 million in 2000.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by describing the main trends and making some comparisons. However, there are significant inaccuracies in the data and the overall trends are misrepresented. For instance, the report states that LG airport increased significantly, but the data shows it remained constant at 40 million throughout the period. Similarly, the description of JFK's trend as fluctuating is incorrect; it actually increased steadily from 30 to 70 million. The report also contains several specific data errors, such as incorrect values for LG and Newark. To improve, focus on accurately reporting the main features and trends, and ensure that comparisons are based on the correct data. Additionally, avoid introducing unsupported details and ensure the report is clearly structured around the key changes over time.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear overall trend and logical grouping of airports. The use of cohesive devices is effective, and the progression from general to specific details is smooth. However, the final paragraph could be more clearly linked to the previous ones, and the overall structure could be enhanced by explicitly comparing the airports throughout, rather than only in the overview.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary related to trends (e.g., 'increased significantly', 'climbed slightly', 'fluctuated', 'soared', 'rose gradually', 'remained stable'). There is some repetition of 'tourists' and 'airport', and the use of 'LG' and 'New' instead of full names may be less formal. To improve, consider using synonyms for 'tourists' (e.g., 'passengers', 'travelers') and write out the airport names in full at least once.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and appropriate use of tenses. There are no significant grammar errors, and punctuation is used correctly. To achieve a higher score, you could incorporate more varied sentence structures, such as using passive voice or more complex clauses, to enhance flexibility.
