Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains significant inaccuracies and misunderstandings of the data presented in the charts. Key points are misinterpreted, leading to an inaccurate representation of the trends and values. The report needs to accurately reflect the data provided in the charts, focusing on the actual figures and trends for both punctuality and complaints. Improve by carefully analyzing the data before writing, ensuring that the figures and trends mentioned in the report align with what is shown in the charts.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates some organization, but the flow of information is disrupted by inaccuracies and a lack of clear connections between ideas. Paragraphing is attempted, but the content within paragraphs sometimes lacks focus. To improve coherence and cohesion, ensure that each paragraph has a clear topic and that sentences within the paragraph logically support that topic. Use cohesive devices (e.g., conjunctions, pronouns, synonyms) to link ideas both within and between paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a limited range of vocabulary, and there are instances of inaccuracies in word choice. To enhance lexical resource, try to use a wider variety of vocabulary related to trends, comparisons, and data description. Focus on using synonyms and paraphrasing to avoid repetition. Pay attention to the correct usage of words and collocations to ensure accuracy. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors, including issues with verb tense, subject-verb agreement, and article usage. Sentence structure is relatively simple, and there is limited use of complex grammatical structures. To improve grammatical range and accuracy, focus on reviewing basic grammar rules and practicing sentence construction. Try to incorporate a variety of sentence types (e.g., complex sentences, compound sentences) to demonstrate a wider range of grammatical structures. Proofread carefully to identify and correct errors.
