Task Response

The report addresses the task and provides some relevant information from the graph. However, there are inaccuracies in the data reported and a lack of specific details. The organization is acceptable, but the language could be more precise and varied. To improve, focus on accurately representing the data, providing more specific figures, and using a wider range of vocabulary to describe trends and comparisons.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an attempt to organize information, but the progression of ideas is not always clear. The 'overall' statement is too general and lacks specific context. The subsequent paragraphs lack clear topic sentences, making it difficult to follow the main trends. Transitions between sentences and ideas could be improved to enhance the flow of the report. For example, using phrases like 'In contrast' or 'Similarly' more effectively would help to connect related points. Paragraphing could be improved by grouping information more logically, such as discussing increases and decreases separately or grouping modes of transport with similar trends together.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a reasonable range of vocabulary, but there are opportunities to use more precise and varied language. For instance, instead of repeatedly using 'increased gradually,' consider alternatives like 'experienced a steady rise' or 'saw a moderate increase.' The use of 'with respect to' is not entirely accurate in the context provided. Expanding your vocabulary related to trends and comparisons would enhance the quality of the report. Also, avoid using specific numbers when an approximation is sufficient.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'the road transporting' should be 'road transport' or 'the quantity of goods transported by road.' There are also issues with verb tense consistency and subject-verb agreement. For example, 'road, railway and water shows increasing' should be 'road, railway, and water show an increase.' Correcting these errors and ensuring accurate sentence structure would significantly improve the report's readability and overall score. Pay close attention to articles (a, an, the) and prepositions, as errors in these areas are present.
