The diagrams compare two road tunnels, demonstrating the structural and financial details.

Overall, it can be seen from the chart that the first tunnel was constructed under bridge, while the second tunnel was built under highway. The general sizes of the second tunnel are higher than the first one.

As regards the information about outer dimensions, the buttom tunnel is 2,5 meters in depth, in contrast to the top tunnel which is only 1,5 meters. The length of the second tunnel is 3,6 kilometers, which are exceeded the first one by 1,4 kilometers. As for data about environment in which both tunnel were constructed, the first tunnel is surrounded by sand and have a small lake above it. However, the second tunnel is situated beneath the city environment consisting of stone, clay, roads and high-rise buldings.

With respect to the details regarding the fininacial aspects of the tunnels, the process of manufactaring the top tunnel started in 1986 and continued until 1998, whereas the bottom tunnel was created a bit latter, begining in 2002 and finished in 2006. Meanwhile, the budget for the second tunnel was higher and received around 1,1 billion, as opposed to the first one which cost only 555 millions.

Task Response

The report addresses the task by summarising the main features of both tunnels and making relevant comparisons. It covers key aspects such as dimensions, construction environment, timeline, and cost. However, there are some inaccuracies: the first tunnel is described as being under a bridge and the second under a highway, which does not match the visual information (sand and city/stone/clay). Additionally, the report mentions a small lake above the first tunnel, which is not indicated in the visual. These inaccuracies slightly detract from the task response. The report is generally well-organised and includes sufficient detail, but more precise attention to the visual data would improve accuracy. Overall, the response meets the requirements of the task with minor lapses.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear introduction, overall summary, and logically grouped body paragraphs. However, there are some issues with cohesion and coherence. For instance, the use of 'buttom tunnel' and 'top tunnel' is confusing and inconsistent with the visual layout. Additionally, the phrase 'which are exceeded' is grammatically incorrect and disrupts the flow. The overall structure is good, but more precise referencing and consistent terminology would improve clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate and includes some less common terms like 'outer dimensions', 'high-rise buildings', and 'financial aspects'. However, there are several spelling errors ('buttom', 'fininacial', 'manufactaring', 'latter', 'begining', 'buldings') and some inappropriate word choices ('manufactaring' instead of 'construction', 'received' instead of 'cost'). These errors reduce the overall lexical quality. A wider range of precise vocabulary and more accurate spelling would enhance the report.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are frequent grammatical errors. For example, subject-verb agreement issues ('which are exceeded', 'tunnel have'), incorrect verb forms ('was created a bit latter, begining'), and punctuation errors (missing commas, incorrect use of decimal points). These errors sometimes hinder understanding. More careful proofreading and practice with complex structures would improve accuracy.
