The given bar chart illustrates carbon emissions from three different fossil fuels (oil/coal/gas) of greenhouse gas in the UK.

Overall, carbon emissions from gas increased while carbon emissions from oil and coal decreased.

The amount of carbon emissions released from gas was just over 200 million tones in 1990 and it roles to 300 million tones in 2000. Then this moved to around 320 million tones in 2010.

The amount of carbon emissions released from oil went down around 270 million tones to around 240 tones in 1995 however it roles up to just over 250 million tones in 2000 but it dropped to just over 200 million tones in 2010.

Task Response

The report identifies the main trends but contains inaccuracies in the data reported. The description lacks detail and could benefit from a more structured approach, such as grouping the fuels and comparing their emission trends within each time period. Also, the writing contains grammatical errors. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report presents a basic overview of the data, but the organization could be improved. The description of each fuel type feels somewhat disjointed. Consider grouping the information in a more structured way, perhaps by discussing each time period or fuel type in a separate paragraph for better flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is somewhat limited and repetitive ('amount of carbon emissions released'). Try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary to describe trends and quantities. For example, instead of 'went down,' you could use 'decreased,' 'declined,' or 'fell.' Also, avoid using the word 'tones' instead of 'tons'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses ('roles' instead of 'rose'), subject-verb agreement issues, and misuse of prepositions. There are also issues with the accuracy of the data presented. Pay close attention to grammar and proofread carefully to avoid these errors. For example, 'The amount of carbon emissions released from gas was just over 200 million tones in 1990 and it roles to 300 million tones in 2000' should be 'The amount of carbon emissions released from gas was 150 million tons in 1990 and it rose to 200 million tons in 2000.'
