Task Response

The report addresses the task and provides an overview, but there are several inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the data presented. For example, the figures for business visitors in 1989 and the peak values are incorrect, and the description of holiday visitors is missing. The report also contains some irrelevant or confusing statements, such as the mention of 'bussiness visitors stood the highest' when holiday visitors were actually higher. To improve, ensure that all main features are covered accurately, including the trends for each purpose, and avoid introducing incorrect data. Additionally, proofread for spelling and grammatical errors to enhance clarity. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction and two body paragraphs, but the flow is disrupted by frequent grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. The use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate (e.g., 'whereas' is used incorrectly). Paragraphing is present but not always logical, and the second body paragraph mixes information about different categories, making it harder to follow. To improve, use clearer topic sentences for each paragraph and ensure each paragraph focuses on a distinct aspect of the data. Also, use a wider range of linking words and phrases (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly', 'by comparison') accurately.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary for describing trends (e.g., 'increased', 'peaked', 'fluctuated', 'settled'), but there are several spelling errors (e.g., 'bussiness', 'overtime', 'compaison') and incorrect word choices (e.g., 'stood the highest' instead of 'was the highest'). The range of vocabulary is limited, and there is repetition of words like 'visitors' and 'increased'. To improve, expand your vocabulary for describing changes (e.g., 'rose steadily', 'declined gradually', 'remained stable') and ensure correct spelling and word forms. Use synonyms to avoid repetition.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors, including subject-verb agreement ('number visitors' should be 'the number of visitors'), incorrect verb forms ('have increased' should be 'had increased' or 'increased'), missing articles ('the UK' not 'uk'), and incorrect prepositions. There are also sentence fragments and run-on sentences that affect clarity. The range of grammatical structures is limited, with most sentences being simple or compound. To improve, focus on sentence structure, use a mix of simple, compound, and complex sentences, and proofread for common errors such as articles, prepositions, and verb tenses. Practicing writing about data trends with correct grammar will help.
