Both pie charts illustrate the data on the proporations of individuals using different modes of transport to commute to work in a European city. The first pie chart shows data for 2000, while the second presents figures for 2020. The table provides information about the average commuting time for each mode of transport in 2020.

Overall, travelling by car remained the most popular option despite a considerable decline over the period, while all other modes became more common. In terms of journey time, walking was the fastest mode of transport, whereas public transport was slowest.

In 2000, cars were by far the most common mode of transport, accounting for 52% of commuters. Public transport and cycling were less common mode of transport, at 20% and 14% respectively. Walking and other types of transport the least common, at 8% and 6%, respectively.

The overall ranking changed relatively little by 2020. Cars remained the most common choice, although their share fell considerably by 38%. The figure of public transport increased to 27%. The proportions of people cycling and walking were relatively similar, at 15% and 12%, respectively. Other mode remained the least common, despite a slight increase from 6% to 8%.

In 2020, walking and cycling had the shortest average commuting times, only 18 and 22 munites, respectively. The corresponding figures for cars and other modes were 28 and 30 munites. Public transport had the longest average journey time, at 35 munites.

Task Response

The report effectively summarizes the main features of the visual data, including the overall trends and key comparisons between 2000 and 2020. The structure is clear, with an introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs. The data is generally accurate, though there are minor spelling errors (e.g., 'proporations', 'munites') and a slight inaccuracy in stating that walking was the fastest mode (it was actually the shortest average time). To improve, ensure precise language and proofread for typographical errors. The response covers the task requirements appropriately and relevantly.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear overall structure: introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs for the charts and table. The message is easy to follow, and the use of cohesive devices (e.g., 'Overall', 'In 2000', 'by 2020', 'In 2020') is effective. However, there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the phrase 'less common mode of transport' which could be more smoothly integrated, and the final sentence about public transport could be better linked to the preceding data. Overall, paragraphing is managed well, but a few transitions could be refined for even greater fluency.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, including terms like 'proportions', 'accounting for', 'share fell considerably', and 'average journey time'. There is some repetition (e.g., 'mode of transport' used multiple times) and a few awkward phrasings (e.g., 'less common mode of transport', 'Other mode remained'). The use of synonyms and paraphrasing is adequate but not always fully natural or sophisticated. To improve, vary the language more and use more precise expressions (e.g., 'the least popular' instead of 'the least common'). Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, with generally accurate grammar and punctuation. There are a few minor errors and awkward phrasings, such as 'Walking and other types of transport the least common' (missing verb) and 'munites' (misspelling of 'minutes'). The grammar checker noted minor issues, but these do not significantly impede understanding. To achieve a higher score, ensure subject-verb agreement and correct spelling throughout, and aim for more varied sentence structures.
