Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the trends for bus and train passengers, but it contains several inaccuracies and unclear statements. For example, it mentions bus passengers' final point as 1800, which is not supported by the data. The description of trends is somewhat confused, and the comparison between the two modes is not clearly presented. To improve, ensure all data points are accurately reported, use clearer language to describe trends, and avoid contradictory statements. Focus on selecting key features and making precise comparisons.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report attempts to organize information but has issues with logical flow and paragraphing. The use of cohesive devices is sometimes inaccurate (e.g., 'While, bus passengers number followed an upward trend, train passengers moved in the opposite direction' is a run-on sentence). The conclusion is missing, and the comparison between the two modes could be clearer. To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear central idea, use appropriate linking words, and provide a clear overview.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but limited and repetitive (e.g., 'figure' is overused). There are some errors in word choice (e.g., 'outstripped' is used incorrectly; 'untill' is misspelled). To improve, use a wider range of synonyms (e.g., 'data', 'statistics', 'numbers') and more precise terms (e.g., 'rose', 'declined', 'peaked'). Avoid informal phrases like 'fell down quickly'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and awkward structures (e.g., 'bus passengers number' should be 'the number of bus passengers'; 'untill increase' should be 'until an increase'; 'After reaching a peak experienced decreas' is ungrammatical). Punctuation is inconsistent. To improve, practice using a variety of sentence structures (simple, compound, complex) and proofread for subject-verb agreement, article usage, and correct verb forms.
