Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by describing both tables, highlighting key trends and overall patterns. It covers the main features, such as the dominance of holiday travel and Western Europe as a destination, and includes relevant data. However, there are some omissions and lapses: the report does not mention the total visits or the 'visits to friends and relatives' category, and it incorrectly refers to the second table as a 'bar chart' and 'chart'. Additionally, some phrasing is awkward (e.g., 'by main region', 'Other area was moderate.v'), and the data for 'Other reasons' is not fully described. To improve, ensure all categories are covered, use accurate terminology for the visual types, and refine sentence structures for clarity.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with clear paragraphs for the overview and details. However, the flow could be improved by using more cohesive devices to link ideas within and between paragraphs. For example, the transition from the first table to the second chart could be smoother. Additionally, the final sentence is incomplete and disrupts the overall coherence. Consider revising the conclusion to provide a clear summary.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'travelled abroad' vs. 'visited foreign countries'). However, there are some inaccuracies and awkward phrasings, such as 'climbed sharply' (which may be too strong for the data) and 'by main region' (which is unclear). To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary, and ensure that terms like 'moderate' are used correctly. Also, avoid repetition of 'number of people' by using synonyms like 'figure' or 'count'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including comparative forms and complex sentences. However, there are several minor errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For example, 'Other reasons was lower' should be 'Other reasons were lower', and 'the remining chart' is a typo for 'remaining chart'. Additionally, the final sentence is incomplete. To improve, proofread carefully and ensure subject-verb agreement and sentence completeness. Using a variety of sentence structures will also enhance grammatical range.
