Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by summarizing the main features and making relevant comparisons across the four airports. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. The data is mostly accurate, and the report appropriately highlights the most significant trends. Minor omissions, such as not explicitly stating the exact percentage for 'other' at each airport, are acceptable. To improve, ensure consistent terminology (e.g., 'passengers' instead of 'passangers') and consider a more precise phrasing for the overview to avoid slight ambiguity. Overall, the response is well-organized and meets the task requirements.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The information is presented logically, and comparisons are made effectively. However, the flow could be improved by using a wider range of linking words and phrases to connect ideas more smoothly. For example, the transition between the second and third paragraphs could be more seamless. Overall, the message is easy to follow, and any lapses are minimal.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and generally accurate, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'purposes of travelers' instead of 'purposes of travel'). However, there is room for more sophisticated and varied word choices. For instance, 'a significant number of people' could be replaced with 'a substantial proportion' or 'a considerable share.' Additionally, the phrase 'the least number of people' is slightly awkward; 'the smallest proportion' would be more natural. Overall, the lexical range is adequate but not fully flexible. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including comparative forms and complex sentences. However, there are a few errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For example, 'passangers' is misspelled, and 'the least popular reason is other purpose' should be 'the least popular reason is the 'other' category.' Additionally, the phrase 'with more than a third at Luton (35%), Stansted (36%) and Heathrow (33%) airports' could be rephrased for better grammatical flow. Overall, the grammar is mostly accurate, but minor errors prevent it from achieving a higher band.
