Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by comparing the four modes of transport across the three years and includes an overall summary. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., car at 42% instead of 37%, foot at 9% instead of 18% in 2000) and a few minor errors in grammar and spelling (e.g., 'became' instead of 'became', 'drammaticly', 'deacreased'). The overall structure is clear, but the report could be improved by ensuring data accuracy and proofreading for language errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and a body paragraph. However, the flow of information is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references. For example, the phrase 'in that period the least commonly used transport was the car accounted for the lowest proportion' is confusing. Additionally, the second body paragraph mixes data from different years without clear transitions, making it harder to follow. To improve, use clearer topic sentences and ensure each paragraph focuses on a specific time period or comparison. Also, avoid abrupt shifts between ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate but limited and sometimes imprecise. For instance, 'increased dramatically' is used incorrectly for bus usage, which actually decreased. Words like 'approxmately' and 'drammaticly' are misspelled, and 'constituted' is overused. There is some attempt at variety (e.g., 'commuters', 'travellers'), but the range is narrow. To improve, learn more precise terms for describing trends (e.g., 'rose sharply', 'declined steadily') and use synonyms to avoid repetition. Also, proofread for spelling errors.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and awkward structures that affect clarity. Examples include 'car had became' (should be 'had become'), 'percentage of citizens by bicycle use constituted' (unclear phrasing), and 'proportion of bus users deacreased by around 10%, stood at 17%' (missing conjunction). Punctuation is also inconsistent, such as missing commas after introductory phrases. To improve, practice using a wider range of sentence structures (e.g., complex sentences with relative clauses) and review basic grammar rules for verb tenses and subject-verb agreement. Proofreading carefully would help eliminate these errors.
