The diagrams illustrate the rates of people in a city who used four types of transport in 2000 and 2020.

Overall, car consistently attracted the biggest number of commuters, whereas the three others seemed to also stably remained at their initial positions. The number of people who drived and walked reduced over 20 years, while bus and bicycle users witnessed a reverse pattern.

The tendency of driving a car and walking both followed a downward trend in percentage comparing the two years. The number of car drivers reduced by 13% by 2020, going from 48% to 35%, although they still predominated the leaderboard. Walking was chosen by 15% of commuters in 2000 before dropping to 13% in 2020, losing its original third place to eventually be the least picked one.

Bus and bicycle’s percentages experienced an increase which was in contrast to the other means, eventhough bus was the only one out of the two whose rank was unchanged. Climbing from 27% to 30% by 2020, it secured its position as the second most chosen form of transport. Bicycle on the other hand, witnessed the most substantial change among the four means. Its figure in 2020 doubled that in 2000, with 22% of people who cycled, far outnumbering the 10% in the first year.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting an overview and detailed comparisons of the data. It accurately identifies key trends, such as the decrease in car and walking usage and the increase in bus and bicycle usage. The report is well-organized with clear paragraphs for the overview and specific details. Minor lapses include a few grammatical errors (e.g., 'drived' should be 'drove', 'eventhough' should be 'even though') and slight awkward phrasing, but these do not detract from the overall clarity and task achievement. To improve, ensure precise language and proofread for minor errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear overall statement and separate paragraphs for the two main trends. The use of cohesive devices is generally effective, though some transitions could be smoother. For example, 'The tendency of driving a car and walking both followed a downward trend' could be more concise. The paragraphing is appropriate, but the second paragraph could be more clearly focused on the declining modes, and the third on the increasing ones. Overall, the message is easy to follow, but there are minor lapses in cohesion that slightly affect the flow.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary related to trends and data description, such as 'downward trend', 'predominated', 'witnessed', and 'substantial change'. There is some effective use of synonyms and paraphrasing. However, there are a few inaccuracies and less natural choices, such as 'the three others seemed to also stably remained' and 'the least picked one'. The phrase 'the biggest number of commuters' could be more precise as 'the highest percentage'. Overall, the lexical resource is adequate and mostly appropriate, but there is room for more sophisticated and precise word choices.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including comparative forms and complex sentences. There are some minor errors that do not impede understanding, such as 'drived' (should be 'drove'), 'eventhough' (should be 'even though'), and 'comparing the two years' (should be 'compared to the two years'). The use of punctuation is generally correct. Overall, the grammar is mostly accurate, but the presence of a few errors and awkward phrasings prevents it from achieving a higher band.
