“The line chart illustrates the quantity of enquiries received by the tourist information office through three different methods, including in person, by letter/email, and by telephone over six months in 2011

Overall, it can be clearly seen that the quantity of enquiries in person increased significantly over the period, while the enquiries by letter/email declined considerably, and then stayed stable. Telephone enquiries fluctuated slightly at first before this figure rose considerably

Looking at the line chart in more detail, it is obvious that the number of enquiries made in person increased steadily from approximately 450 in January to 600 in February and 800 in March. It then rose sharply to 1,300 in April, before reaching a peak of around 1,900 in June. Meanwhile, the number of telephone enquiries fell slightly from 900 in January to 800 in February. It then increased to 1,000 in March and remained stable in April, before rising considerably to 1,400 in May and 1,600 in June.

By contrast, the number of enquiries by letter/email fell from approximately 750 in January to 700 in February, where it remained stable in March. It then declined further to 550 in April and 350 in May, before remaining unchanged in June.’

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing a clear overview and detailed description of the trends for all three enquiry methods. The data is generally accurate, with minor deviations (e.g., in-person figures for April and May) that do not detract from the overall response. The structure is logical, with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. To improve, ensure all data points are precisely aligned with the graph and consider using a wider range of linking words to enhance cohesion.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and easy to follow. The introduction clearly paraphrases the task, and the overview effectively summarizes the main trends. The body paragraphs are logically divided by category, and the use of cohesive devices (e.g., 'Overall', 'Looking at the line chart in more detail', 'By contrast') helps guide the reader. However, there is a minor issue: the overview mentions that telephone enquiries 'fluctuated slightly at first before this figure rose considerably,' but the body paragraph describes a slight fall, then stability, then a rise. This is a slight inconsistency in the overview, but it does not significantly affect coherence. To improve, ensure that the overview and body details align perfectly.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task. Words and phrases such as 'illustrates', 'increased steadily', 'rose sharply', 'reaching a peak', 'remained stable', 'declined further', and 'remaining unchanged' are used accurately and effectively. There is some repetition of 'enquiries' and 'increased/rose', but this is acceptable given the context. To achieve a higher score, consider using more varied synonyms (e.g., 'queries', 'requests', 'surged', 'plateaued') and more sophisticated collocations. Overall, the lexical resource is strong and natural. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report displays a wide range of grammatical structures used with full control. Sentences are varied in length and complexity, including complex sentences with subordinate clauses (e.g., 'before reaching a peak', 'where it remained stable'). Punctuation is accurate, and there are no noticeable grammar errors. The report is precise and fluent, meeting the highest standards for grammatical range and accuracy.
