The line chart illustrates the frequency of public transportation usage according to six age groups in two different residence places in 2016.

Overall, large city residents’ data for those who use public transportation had shown a significant increase in youths to mature age, before it dramatically decreased in older generations. Meanwhile, data for other residents showed stable data, started with youngsters and ended with elderly people.

To begin with, public transportation usage had jumped dramatically, beginning with the youngest generations at 40% and peaked at almost 70% in the 31-45 age group. However, the percentage started decreasing and dropped to fifth in the 61-75 age group (10%) before it recovered slightly in the older people usage (15%).

In contrast, the usage of public transport in other residents was recorded at a stable frequency. It began at 15% of usage among youngest people and jumped slightly to fourth in teenagers data. The data remained stable before showing a minor up to almost 20% and dropping to 5% in elderly.

Task Response

The report addresses the main trends and provides a comparison between the two groups. However, there are several inaccuracies in the data reporting that affect the clarity of the response. For instance, the report mentions a drop to 5% for elderly residents in the 'other residents' category, which contradicts the provided data. Additionally, some phrasing is slightly awkward (e.g., 'jumped slightly to fourth in teenagers data'). To improve, ensure that every data point mentioned is accurately reflected from the visual information and focus on using more precise mathematical language to describe trends rather than ordinal numbers like 'fifth' or 'fourth' to describe percentages.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and two body paragraphs. However, the progression of ideas is sometimes hindered by awkward phrasing and imprecise transitions. For example, the use of 'started with youngsters and ended with elderly people' in the overview is quite vague and does not effectively summarize the trend. To improve, focus on using more sophisticated cohesive devices and ensure that each sentence flows naturally into the next to guide the reader through the comparisons.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is somewhat repetitive and occasionally imprecise. Phrases like 'two different residence places' could be more naturally expressed as 'two different types of residential areas' or 'locations'. There is also some misuse of words, such as using 'frequency' when 'percentage' or 'proportion' would be more accurate in the context of a line graph showing rates. Try to incorporate a wider variety of synonyms for 'show', 'increase', and 'decrease' to demonstrate a more sophisticated lexical range.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that impact clarity. There are issues with tense consistency (e.g., 'had shown' vs 'showed') and sentence structure (e.g., 'the percentage started decreasing and dropped to fifth in the 61-75 age group'). The phrase 'showing a minor up to' is ungrammatical; it should be 'showing a minor increase to'. To improve, practice using complex sentence structures more accurately and pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and the correct use of prepositions.
