Task Response

The report addresses the main trends, such as the decline in car and bus usage and the increase in cycling and walking. However, there are several issues with data accuracy and clarity. Some figures mentioned in the report do not align with the provided description (e.g., the percentage for bicycles and walking), and there is a mention of the year 2009 which was not part of the data. Additionally, the overview is somewhat confusingly phrased. To improve, ensure that all data points are reported accurately according to the visual information and focus on grouping comparisons more logically to enhance the flow of the report.

Coherence & Cohesion

The organization of the report is somewhat logical, but the progression of ideas is hindered by poor sentence structure and awkward transitions. The introduction is a direct copy of the prompt, which is not ideal for a high score. To improve, use more sophisticated linking words (e.g., 'In contrast,' 'Conversely,' 'Regarding...') and ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic. The conclusion/overall summary should be integrated more smoothly rather than appearing as a separate, disjointed observation about the charts themselves.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is quite limited and repetitive. There are several spelling errors (e.g., 'busses', 'deacreased', 'intresting', 'theit') and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'people became use bicycles', 'people started more move on their legs'). Instead of using basic phrases like 'people use,' try to vary your language with terms such as 'commuters,' 'travelers,' or 'the proportion of individuals opting for...'. Aim to use more precise verbs to describe changes, such as 'plummeted,' 'surged,' or 'remained steady.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and occasionally impede communication. There are issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., '2 charts that shows', 'this charts are'), article usage, and sentence construction. For example, 'The same situation we can see' is a non-standard structure; 'The same trend can be observed' would be more appropriate. Work on mastering complex sentence structures and ensure that your tense usage is consistent, especially when comparing two different time periods.
