Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing both graphs and making some comparisons. However, there are several inaccuracies in the data (e.g., target percentages, complaint numbers) and some omissions (e.g., missing data points for 1996 and 1999 in the complaints graph). The overall structure is clear, but the report could be improved by more accurate data reporting and a more balanced coverage of all time periods.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction and an overview, but the organization of information within paragraphs could be improved. The second paragraph mixes data from different years without a clear logical flow, and the third paragraph jumps between years without smooth transitions. Use clearer paragraphing to separate the two graphs and ensure each paragraph focuses on a coherent set of information. Additionally, the overview could be more precise and better reflect the main trends.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, with some appropriate terms like 'fluctuated' and 'target set by the company.' However, there are instances of awkward phrasing and word choice, such as 'actual arriving time' and 'passengers complaint.' To improve, use more precise and natural collocations (e.g., 'punctuality rate' or 'number of complaints per thousand journeys') and vary the language to avoid repetition. Also, ensure that terms like 'percentage' and 'proportion' are used correctly. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. For example, 'It also present' should be 'It also presents,' and 'the percentage of buses actual arriving time' is grammatically incorrect. There are also subject-verb agreement issues and inconsistent tense usage. To improve, focus on using a wider range of sentence structures with accurate grammar, and proofread to correct errors in subject-verb agreement, articles, and prepositions. Punctuation, such as commas and periods, should be used correctly to enhance readability.
