The givien line graphs illustrate the number of commuters travelling by train and the proportion of trains being punctual in Sydney from 1995 to 2004.

Overall, it is immediately apparent that while more and more people use train to commute in Sydney, the rate of trains running on time saw a drop

A closer look at the graph reveals that starting at approximately 250 millions, the number of train passengers progressively increased by nearly 30 millions in 2000. This figure then suddenly swiftly raised, reaching its peak at exactly 300 millions passengers before saw a decrease to the same spot in 2000. In the next two years, only 280 million passengers commute by train in Sydney and this figure saw no change

Moving on to further details, there was a dramatic fluctuation in the percentage of trains operating on time during this period. From 1995 to 1999, after starting at nearly 90%, the rate of trains being punctual saw an erratic upward trend before this figure met the target at around 93% in 1991. After that, this rate suddenly fell to precisely 85%, which was the lowest of the period between 1999 and 2002 before bouncing back and reaching its target in 2002. In the next year, the proportion of trains running on time saw slightly decreased to nearly 90%. At the end of the period in question, many trains were delayed in operation, fell short of the target by approximately 20%.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by describing both graphs and making some comparisons. However, there are several inaccuracies and misinterpretations of the data, such as misstating the number of passengers and the percentages of trains on time. The description of trends is sometimes unclear or contradictory (e.g., mentioning a peak and then a decrease to the same point). The report would benefit from more accurate data reporting, clearer organization, and avoiding vague phrases like 'saw a drop' or 'saw no change'. Focus on selecting key features and presenting them logically, with precise figures and comparisons.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and separate paragraphs for each graph. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by unclear referencing (e.g., 'this figure' and 'the same spot') and abrupt transitions. The overview is present but could be more precise. Paragraphing is adequate but could be improved by more logical grouping of information and clearer topic sentences.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary related to trends (e.g., 'progressively increased', 'dramatic fluctuation', 'bouncing back'), which is appropriate. However, there are some inaccuracies and awkward phrasings (e.g., 'suddenly swiftly raised', 'saw a drop', 'fell short of the target by approximately 20%'). The word 'commute' is used incorrectly as a noun. To improve, use more precise and natural collocations, and ensure correct word forms.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of sentence structures, including complex sentences, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. Examples include 'The givien line graphs' (spelling), 'while more and more people use train' (missing article), 'saw a drop' (incorrect verb form), 'before saw a decrease' (incorrect verb form), and 'saw slightly decreased' (incorrect structure). Punctuation is mostly correct, but some sentences are run-ons. To improve, proofread for subject-verb agreement, verb tense consistency, and article usage.
