The line chart illustrates the number of foreign tourists visited in three countries, namely France, USA, and Japan from 2000 to 2020.

Overall, France accounted for the highest number of international tourists throughout the period. While the number of tourists for Japan increased steadily, the contrasting trend was observed for the USA.

In 2000, France experienced the most leading international tourist at 75 million, followed by 60 million and approximately 15 million for USA and Japan, respectively. Thus, the number of tourists for France was almost one and half folds as high as the figure for USA and around five times that for Japan. By 2010, France’s figure had risen gradually by 15 million, reaching a peak of 90 million. Japan showed a substantial increase to reach 30 million from only about 4 million, whereas the figure for USA declined rapidly by 10 million, level to 50 million.

From 2010 onwards. France’s figure decreased by only 5 million, stood at 85 million in 2020, retaining its dominancy till the end of the period. Meanwhile, the figures for Japan and the USA converged at around 44 million in 2014. Afterwards, Japan competed its figure by increased to 55 million in 2020, but USA’s figure fell to 40 million, representing Japan as the second highest figure in 2020.

Task Response

The report addresses the task and provides an overall comparison, but it contains several inaccuracies and omissions. For instance, the initial figures for the USA and Japan are incorrect (60 and 15 million instead of 51 and 15 million), and the description of France's trend is inconsistent (it mentions a peak of 90 million in 2010, but the data shows 85 million in 2010 and a peak of 91 million in 2020). Additionally, the report omits key details such as the fluctuations in France's numbers and the specific trends for the USA after 2010. The structure is clear, but the data errors and some unclear phrasing (e.g., 'Japan competed its figure by increased') detract from the overall accuracy. To improve, ensure all data points are correctly reported and provide a more precise and coherent summary of the main trends.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, there are some lapses in coherence, particularly in the second body paragraph where the timeline is unclear (e.g., 'By 2010' and 'reaching a peak of 90 million' are inconsistent with the data). The use of cohesive devices is sometimes awkward (e.g., 'Thus', 'Afterwards'), and the paragraphing could be improved by separating the trends for each country more clearly. Ensure that each paragraph has a clear central idea and that transitions between ideas are smooth.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary related to trends (e.g., 'increased steadily', 'declined rapidly', 'substantial increase') and comparisons (e.g., 'one and half folds as high as', 'five times that for'). However, there are some inaccuracies and awkward phrasings (e.g., 'most leading international tourist', 'level to 50 million', 'competed its figure by increased to'). The range is adequate but not fully flexible or natural. To improve, use more precise and varied expressions, and ensure collocations are correct (e.g., 'the number of tourists' instead of 'the figure for tourists').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and some passive constructions. However, there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity (e.g., 'From 2010 onwards. France's figure decreased...' - incorrect sentence boundary; 'Japan competed its figure by increased to' - incorrect verb form; 'the number of foreign tourists visited in three countries' - incorrect relative clause). These errors are noticeable but do not completely obscure meaning. To improve, focus on sentence structure, verb tense consistency, and punctuation.
