The given illustration presents data on the amount of visitors of three main airports located in New York City from 1995 to 2000.

Overall, LaGuardia was the only airport to follow an upward trend throughout the years. The number of travellers choosing John F. Kennedy increased until 1998 and levelled off since then while Newark experienced fluctuations in figures.

It is evident that starting from 1995 LaGuardia had the highest indicator, 35 million, which was doubled approximately to 70 million in 2000. However, it was only in 1997 that the figure was overtaken by the number of passengers travelling through John F. Kennedy, around by 5 million. In 1999, there was a considerable difference between the figures as travellers of LaGuardia Airport were roughly 20 million and 10 million more than John F. Kennedy and Newark travellers, respectively.

Starting from 1995 as the lowest figure, Newark travellers went up from about 17 million to 26 million whereas John F. Kennedy travellers reached 35 million in the same year, leaving passengers of Newark behind by 9 roughly million. After slightly exceeding 40 million, the number of travellers through Newark plateaued. In contrast, figures of John F. Kennedy passengers experienced a period of changes during the last three years, ending at 45 million.

Task Response

The report addresses the task but contains some inaccuracies and misinterpretations of the data. The description of trends is not always accurate, and there are some issues with the data cited. To improve, focus on accurately representing the data and ensuring that the trends described align with the visual information. Also, pay attention to making relevant comparisons between the airports.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an adequate attempt to organize information, but the flow could be improved. The overall structure is present, but the transitions between ideas and paragraphs are not always smooth, leading to some choppiness. Consider using more varied cohesive devices to link ideas within and between paragraphs. For example, using transition words or phrases to signal shifts in focus or to draw comparisons more explicitly would enhance the coherence. Also, ensure that each paragraph has a clear focus and that all sentences within the paragraph contribute to that central idea.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of vocabulary, but there are instances where word choice could be more precise or natural. While the vocabulary is generally appropriate for the task, there's room to enhance the sophistication and accuracy of word usage. To improve, focus on expanding your vocabulary related to describing trends and comparisons, and pay attention to the nuances of word meanings to ensure accurate usage. Also, try to incorporate more synonyms and varied expressions to avoid repetition.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a fair range of grammatical structures, but there are noticeable errors that affect clarity. While the report contains a mix of simple and complex sentences, grammatical errors are present and detract from the overall quality. To improve, focus on reviewing and correcting common grammatical errors, such as subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, and correct use of articles and prepositions. Additionally, practice using a wider range of sentence structures to enhance the complexity and sophistication of your writing.
