The line graph compares levels of tourists from abroad to the coast, the mountains and the lakes in a European country over a period of 20-year, from 1987 to 2007.

Overall, it is clear that the number of visitors who travelled to three various areas experienced increases at the end of the period, despite some variations. While the figure for the lakes had its highest in 2002, the number of tourists to the coast overtook it and reached the highest point in 2007.

In 1987, the number of people from abroad visited to the coast started with 40,000 which was two times higher than those for the mountains. The figure for the coast declined slightly to about 38,000 in 1992 before growing gradually, and reaching a highest point, at about 73,000 in 2007. By contrast, after rising 30,000, the number of mountain visitors dropped to the same level as it was in the first year between 1992 and 1997. After which the number experienced rebounding by 2000. Although, the figure saw a slight decrease in 2002, it recovered by 2007, reaching at just under 30.

Individuals who travelled to lakes stood at 10,000 which was the lowest among three categories initially. After that, the number soared until 2002 to hit a high of approximately 75,000 before falling to 50,000 in 2007.

Task Response

The report addresses the task and provides an overview, but there are some inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the data. For instance, the peak for the coast is stated as 2007, whereas the visual description indicates it peaked in 2002. The lakes are described as peaking in 2002, but the description says they peaked in 1997. Additionally, the final value for the mountains is given as 'just under 30' without specifying the unit (thousand), and the trend for the mountains is not clearly described. To improve, ensure that the main trends and key data points are accurately reported, and avoid vague or incomplete statements. Comparisons between the categories are present but could be more explicit.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The use of cohesive devices is generally effective, but there are some minor lapses, such as the abrupt transition in the second body paragraph ('After which...') and the use of 'Although' at the start of a sentence without a comma. The paragraphing is adequate, but could be improved by more clearly separating the discussion of each area. Overall, the message is easy to follow, but there is room for smoother cohesion.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary related to trends (e.g., 'declined slightly', 'growing gradually', 'soared', 'rebounding'). There is some effective use of synonyms (e.g., 'tourists', 'visitors', 'people from abroad'). However, there are a few inaccuracies and awkward phrasings, such as 'two times higher than those for the mountains' (should be 'twice as high as that for the mountains') and 'reaching at just under 30' (should be 'reaching just under 30,000'). The lexical choices are generally appropriate, but more precise and natural phrasing would enhance the response. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'over a period of 20-year' should be 'over a 20-year period', 'visited to the coast' should be 'who visited the coast', 'after rising 30,000' is unclear and should be 'after rising to 30,000', and 'reaching at just under 30' should be 'reaching just under 30,000'. There are also punctuation issues, such as the misuse of 'Although' at the start of a sentence. These errors, while not impeding overall understanding, indicate a need for greater grammatical control to achieve a higher band score.
