Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main trends in transport usage over the three years, and it attempts to make comparisons. However, there are several inaccuracies in the data (e.g., car usage in 1960 is stated as 5% instead of 7%, and bike usage in 1960 is given as 25% instead of 28%). The report also contains some irrelevant or unclear information (e.g., 'most of the job holders are used car to went their job place' and 'bike consistently recorded the lowest figures' is not accurate for 1960). The structure is present, but the language errors and occasional lack of clarity detract from the overall effectiveness. To improve, focus on accurate data representation, clearer comparisons, and more precise language.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a basic structure with an introduction and an overall trend, but the flow is disrupted by unclear referencing and abrupt transitions. Paragraphing is attempted but not always logical, and some sentences are difficult to follow. To improve, use clear topic sentences for each paragraph and ensure that each paragraph focuses on a specific comparison or trend. Use cohesive devices (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly', 'while') more effectively to link ideas and avoid repetition.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is limited and often imprecise, with errors such as 'employes' (employees), 'Eripean' (European), 'registard' (registered), and 'demanding transport'. There is some attempt at variation (e.g., 'steady growth', 'significant fluctuations'), but the range is narrow and word choices are not always appropriate. To improve, expand your vocabulary for describing trends (e.g., 'rose steadily', 'declined sharply', 'remained stable') and use more precise terms for transport modes. Avoid informal or incorrect expressions. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains frequent grammatical errors, including subject-verb agreement ('car are registard'), tense inconsistency ('are used', 'was steady growth'), and incorrect word forms ('to went', 'using transport'). Punctuation is also inconsistent (e.g., missing spaces after commas). To improve, focus on basic sentence structures, ensure subject-verb agreement, and use past tense consistently for historical data. Practice writing simple, clear sentences before attempting complex ones.
