The bar chart shows tourists from different countries using 4 types of transport.

Overall, cars were the most popular means of transport among British, German, Korean and Australian tourists, whereas Japanese tourists preferred air travel and coaches. In addition, ferry travel was considerably more common among British and German tourists than by the other nationalities.

Among British tourists, cars were the most commonly used form of transport, accounting for approximately 60%, while air travel and ferries were used by around 36% each. By contrast, only 18% travelled by coach. Similarly, German tourists showed a preference for cars at just over 50%, followed closely by ferries at 48%. Coach travel was again the least popular option, at 20%. 5% lower than air travel.

In contrast, Japanese tourists preferred air travel and coaches, at 53% and 51%, while only around 25% travelled by car. Ferry travel was the least common option, at 10%. Among Korean and Australian tourists, cars remained the most popular transport, at roughly 50% and 45%. By comparison, ferries were used by much smaller proportions of people in both countries. However, coach travel accounted for around 40% in Korea, compared with only 8% in Australia.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains significant inaccuracies regarding the data provided in the visual description. While the structure and language use are generally appropriate, the specific figures reported (e.g., British car usage at 60% vs 35% in the description, or Japanese preference for air travel at 53% vs 10%) contradict the source information. To improve, ensure that the data extracted from the charts is reported accurately, as major discrepancies in data reporting significantly impact the Task Response score.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear progression of ideas. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'In addition', 'By contrast', and 'Similarly' helps the reader follow the comparisons between different nationalities. To reach a higher band, ensure that the grouping of information in paragraphs is even more logical; for instance, grouping countries with similar trends more tightly could enhance the flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and varied, with good use of comparative structures (e.g., 'more common among', 'followed closely by', 'the least common option'). There is a good range of terms to describe proportions. To improve, you could incorporate more sophisticated synonyms for 'popular' or 'used' to avoid repetition and demonstrate even greater lexical flexibility. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a strong command of grammatical structures, utilizing a mix of simple and complex sentences effectively. Punctuation is generally accurate. There is a minor fragment issue in the second paragraph ('5% lower than air travel'), which should be integrated into the preceding sentence to maintain grammatical integrity. Aside from this, the accuracy is very high.
