Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting the main features of the data and making relevant comparisons. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are a few inaccuracies and inconsistencies: the report mentions '2006' instead of '2016', and the holiday percentages for Heathrow, Luton, and Stansted are incorrectly stated as 'ranging from 33% to 36%' (the actual figures are 37%, 36%, and 36%). Additionally, the percentage for visiting friends at Heathrow is misreported as 37% instead of 33%. To improve, ensure all data is accurately transcribed and avoid introducing irrelevant time references. The report could also benefit from more precise language and a more consistent comparison across all categories.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and generally easy to follow. The introduction clearly paraphrases the task, and the overview effectively highlights the main trends. The body paragraphs group information logically, and the use of cohesive devices (e.g., 'Overall', 'In addition', 'When it comes to', 'Notably') helps guide the reader. However, there are a few minor lapses in cohesion, such as the abrupt transition from the overview to the detailed data, and the final sentence could be more smoothly integrated. Overall, the paragraphing is managed well, but a more seamless flow between sentences would enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary with appropriate and accurate usage. Words and phrases like 'by far the most popular', 'less significant shares', 'stronger performance', and 'negligible shares' show a natural and sophisticated control of lexical features. There is some repetition (e.g., 'traveled for their holiday' and 'traveling holidays'), and a few expressions could be more precise (e.g., 'the flight's purposes' could be 'the purposes of flights'). However, the overall lexical resource is strong and effectively conveys the information.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a wide range of grammatical structures with good control. There are complex sentences, appropriate use of passive voice, and accurate punctuation throughout. Minor errors and phrasing issues are present, such as 'traveling holidays' (should be 'travelling for holidays') and 'most of flights' (should be 'most flights'), but these do not impede understanding. The grammar is generally accurate, and the few errors are not systematic, indicating a high level of proficiency.
