Task Response

The report covers the main trends and provides some specific data points. However, there are some inaccuracies and a lack of precision in describing the data. To improve, focus on providing more accurate data and avoid generalizations. Also, ensure that the overall trends are clearly stated in the introduction.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an adequate attempt to organize the information, but there are some issues with coherence and cohesion. The overall structure is present, but the transitions between sentences and ideas could be smoother. The repetition of "Looking at the information in more detail" at the beginning of the second and third paragraphs is repetitive and weakens the flow. Try to vary your introductory phrases and use more cohesive devices to link ideas within and between paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, but there are some instances where the word choice could be more precise or sophisticated. For example, using "fluctuation" is acceptable, but more specific terms to describe the trends (e.g., "varied trends", "oscillating patterns") could enhance the description. Consider expanding your vocabulary related to describing trends and changes to provide a more nuanced analysis. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains a number of grammatical errors that affect clarity. Some examples include subject-verb agreement issues ("number of bus and train passengers showed"), incorrect tense usage, and awkward phrasing. For instance, "plummet to 1000 in 2017" should be "plummeted to 1000 in 2017". Also, the phrase "before the number declined to 1,100 in 2025" is inaccurate according to the graph. Focus on improving your grammatical accuracy by reviewing basic grammar rules and proofreading carefully.
