The line graph illustrates the number of goods delivered by various kinds of transport in the UK from 1980 to 2008.

Overall, the road was the primary method of transport throughout the timeframe. In addition, moved by water and pipeline were also displayed nearly the same trend, rail experienced fluctuation.

To begin with, trasnported by road was by far the dominant of in the chart, its start point at around 70 million in 1980, after it dip slightly to 58 million in 1988, the figures rose steadily to over 80 million in the next two decades in 1996. Finally, after going through some rise and fall, the data stopped at about 90 million in 2008.

Looking more closely to water, started at nearly 40 million in 1980, it experienced a sharply increase in 1988, accounted for approximately 58 million tonnes, in the subsequent years, the number remain stedily and fell slightly in 2004 before it peaked at 63 million tonnes in 2008. In contrast, the pipeline was stay at the lowest with around 2 million in 1980, then it climbed gradually in the years that followed and finally stood at 22 million in 2008. The last was the rail, its numbers showed some fluctuation, first at 40 million in 1980, then it fell heavily to 30 million and managed to increase again before reached at 41 million in 2008.

Task Response

The report addresses the task by summarising the main features and making comparisons across the four transport types. It presents a clear overview and covers the key trends, though some data points are slightly inaccurate or imprecise (e.g., road figures, pipeline values). The response is well-organised and logically sequenced, with appropriate use of cohesive devices. However, there are occasional grammatical errors and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'moved by water and pipeline were also displayed nearly the same trend', 'the pipeline was stay at the lowest'). To improve, ensure more precise data reporting and refine sentence structures for greater clarity and accuracy.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and paragraphs for each transport mode. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear referencing (e.g., "it dip slightly to 58 million in 1988" is inconsistent with the data). Also, the overview could be more concise and accurate. To improve, ensure each paragraph focuses on a clear main idea, use cohesive devices more effectively, and make sure comparisons are clearly signposted.

Lexical Resource

There is a reasonable attempt to use a range of vocabulary related to trends (e.g., "peaked", "climbed gradually", "fluctuated"), but there are errors and colloquial choices (e.g., "trasnported", "the primary method", "its start point"). Also, some phrases are not idiomatic (e.g., "displayed nearly the same trend"). To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary, ensure correct word forms, and avoid repetition. Practice using synonyms and more sophisticated collocations.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report attempts a range of sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity (e.g., "in addition, moved by water and pipeline were also displayed nearly the same trend", "trasnported by road was by far the dominant of in the chart"). Punctuation and subject-verb agreement are sometimes incorrect. To improve, focus on accuracy with verb tenses (especially past simple for specific times), and review sentence structure to avoid fragments or run-ons. Also, ensure correct use of articles and prepositions.
