The diagram illustrates information about two road tunnels in two Australian cities. IBoth of them lie underground and help to avoid traffic jams during rush hours. This diagram outlines key differences between these two tunnels, the crucial one is their time period the building took place and the technical aspects. Neither of these tunnels lies deeper than 2,5 meter underneath the ground.

The first tunnel was constructed in 1986-1998 as a two-lane road. Its construction took 12 years. This underground tunnel cost 555 million dollars. Its length is 2.2 kilometres and it lays 5 beneath the ground. Between the surface of the land and the ground there is sand.

On the other hand, the second tunnel is longer 3,6 kilometres and is situated deeper (2.5 meters underground). It was built in 2002-2006, in 8 years. The technology has been developing, subsequently its construction was quicker than the building of the first one. And it cost more: 1.1 billion dollars. Above this three-lane road there are stones and clay.

Task Response

The report addresses the main requirements of the task and provides a comparison between the two tunnels. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data reporting (for example, stating the first tunnel is 5 meters deep when the description says 1.5 meters) and some logical inconsistencies, such as claiming the second tunnel was built quicker despite the math showing 4 years versus 12 years. To improve, ensure all numerical data is transcribed accurately and focus on making comparisons more cohesive rather than just listing facts. Avoid adding personal interpretations, such as the purpose of avoiding traffic jams, as this information is not provided in the visual data.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a basic structure, but the progression of ideas is somewhat disjointed. The introduction contains unnecessary personal opinions (e.g., 'help to avoid traffic jams') which should be avoided in academic writing. While you use some cohesive devices like 'On the other hand', the transitions between sentences within paragraphs could be smoother. To improve, focus on grouping information logically and using a wider variety of linking words to connect technical data rather than presenting it as a list of isolated facts.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is functional but quite basic and repetitive. There are some issues with word choice and collocation, such as 'the crucial one is their time period the building took place' and 'it lays 5 beneath the ground' (which is also a factual error). To reach a higher band, aim to use more sophisticated academic synonyms for 'built' (e.g., constructed, erected, established) and 'show' (e.g., depicts, presents, delineates). Avoid informal phrasing and ensure that technical descriptions are precise. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report relies heavily on simple sentence structures, which limits the grammatical range. There are several errors in sentence construction and punctuation (e.g., 'the second tunnel is longer 3,6 kilometres' and 'the crucial one is their time period the building took place'). Additionally, there are issues with subject-verb agreement and the use of prepositions. To improve, practice using complex sentence structures, such as relative clauses (e.g., 'The first tunnel, which was constructed between 1986 and 1998, ...') and comparative structures to link the two tunnels more effectively.
