Task Response

The report adequately addresses the task by presenting the main trends and comparing the data for the two years. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed comparisons. However, there are some minor lapses in expression and a few inaccuracies in the overview (e.g., stating that car remained the largest mode in 2025, which is not supported by the data). To improve, ensure that the overview accurately reflects the most significant trends, such as the decline in car use and the rise in train and bus use. Additionally, refine phrasing for clarity and grammatical accuracy, such as 'the percentage of people who used' and 'remained unchanged.'

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and a detailed comparison. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and a lack of cohesive devices. For example, the transition from the overview to the detailed paragraph is abrupt, and the use of 'while' and 'In addition' is not always smooth. To improve, use a wider range of linking words and phrases (e.g., 'whereas', 'in contrast', 'similarly') and ensure each paragraph has a clear central idea. Also, avoid repetitive sentence structures to make the report easier to follow.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary for describing data (e.g., 'accounted for', 'represented', 'increased', 'fallen'), but there are several instances of imprecise or awkward word choices, such as 'percentage forms of transportation' and 'the lowest transportation that used to travel to work'. To improve, use more precise and natural collocations (e.g., 'the most popular mode of transport', 'the proportion of commuters', 'remained unchanged'). Also, avoid repetition of 'transportation' and 'used to travel to work' by using synonyms like 'commuting' or 'travel modes'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates some variety in sentence structures, but there are numerous grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For example, 'the percentage forms of transportation' is ungrammatical, 'many people that used Bus and Train increased' is incorrect, and 'the percentage for the Bicycle and Walking were' has a subject-verb agreement error. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, correct use of articles, and proper sentence construction. Also, ensure that comparisons are clearly and correctly expressed (e.g., 'The proportion of people using the bus rose from 20% to 25%').
