The line graph illustrates the number of overseas visitors travelling to the UK for 3 reasons between 1989 and 2009.

Overall, there were three main reasons: holiday, business and meeting friends or relatives which saw similar upward trends. Moreover, the UK witnessed the highest number of visitors for holiday for the most part.

At the beginning, 6.5 million of travelers went to the UK in 1989, remaining stable until 1992. It then hit the highest point at 9 million, before dramatically falling back to 6.5 million in 2004. The figure for business climbed again to 9 million visitors in 2009.

The number of visitors going to the UK for meeting friends or relatives was 3.5 million which was lower than that of business, 5 million. In 1992, both of them reached the same figure, 5 million travellers but the reason for meeting had an increase whereas business had a significant decrease. After that, there continued to grow, the number of visitors who came to the UK for meeting friends and relatives gradually rose from 4 million in 1992 to 7 million in 2007. The business had a slight increase from 4 million to 6.5 million over 6 years before remaining stable until 2000. Next, it slightly increased to 8 million people in 2007. A similar trend was observed in meetings and business, as the figure underwent an upward trend to 6 million and 7 million at the end of the period, respectively.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but suffers from significant issues with data accuracy and clarity. There are several instances where the reported figures contradict the visual description (e.g., the starting figures and the trends for business and holiday visitors), which makes the summary difficult to follow. Additionally, the organization of the data is somewhat confusing, as the report jumps between categories and years without a clear logical progression. To improve, ensure that every data point mentioned is accurately reflected from the graph and focus on grouping information logically - for example, by discussing each category's trend individually or comparing them at specific time intervals.

Coherence & Cohesion

The organization of the report is somewhat confusing, which makes it difficult for the reader to follow the trends of each category. The report jumps between different categories and time periods without a clear logical progression. To improve, try to group your information more effectively - for example, dedicate one paragraph to the category with the highest numbers and another to the categories with lower numbers, or group them by their overall trends. Additionally, ensure that your transitions between sentences and paragraphs are smoother to guide the reader through the data.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is somewhat repetitive and, in some instances, imprecise. While you use some appropriate terms like 'witnessed' and 'upward trend,' there is a lack of variety in how you describe changes and figures. Try to incorporate a wider range of synonyms for 'increase' (e.g., surged, climbed, rose) and 'decrease' (e.g., declined, dipped, plummeted). Also, be careful with word choice; for example, instead of saying 'the reason for meeting had an increase,' it is more natural to say 'the number of people visiting friends and relatives increased.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical issues that impact the clarity of your report. There are instances of awkward phrasing (e.g., '6.5 million of travelers') and errors in sentence structure (e.g., 'After that, there continued to grow'). You also struggle with subject-verb agreement and the correct use of articles. To improve, focus on practicing complex sentence structures and ensuring that your subjects and verbs are clearly linked. Pay close attention to how you introduce data to ensure the sentences are grammatically complete.
