The graph illustrates a comparison between real proportion of buses arriving on time and the target set by bus company. In addition, second graph represents the number of complaints per thousand journeys made by the passengers.

Overall, it is noticable that target set by companies was higher than actual percentage of arrived buses. In contrast, passengers complaints figure fluctuated over the period, but in the end showed an upward trend

In 1990, approximately 83% of buses actually arrived in time, slightly below the target of 84%. Although the small decrease to 82 % in 1993, it then noticeably increased to 84.5 % in 1996. Subsequently, the number reamained unchanged until 2002, when it slightly rose to 86 %. Moreover, it was the only year when actual arrives overtaked the target by 1 %.

In contrast, the second graph detailing the figure of complaints per 1,000 passenger journeys. Starting with about 50 complaints in 1990, the number increased slightly to 100 in 1993. However, the number rose again in next years, reaching 120 in 2002.

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 in 1990, actual in 1993 and 1996, complaints in 1990 and 1993) and some omissions (e.g., the target trend and the fluctuation in complaints in the middle years). The overall structure is clear, but the description of the complaints graph is incomplete and contains incorrect figures. To improve, ensure all key data points are accurately reported and that the main trends and comparisons are fully covered.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and separate paragraphs for each graph. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references (e.g., 'the number reamained unchanged until 2002' is vague). The overview is present but could be more precise. Paragraphing is generally logical, but the second graph paragraph lacks a clear topic sentence and the data description is confusing. To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear main idea and use cohesive devices (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly') more effectively to link ideas within and between paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary (e.g., 'illustrates', 'fluctuated', 'upward trend'), but there are several inaccuracies and repetitions. For example, 'real proportion' is awkward, 'arrives' is used instead of 'arrivals', and 'overtaked' is incorrect. The range of vocabulary is limited, and some terms are not used precisely (e.g., 'figure' for 'number'). To improve, use a wider range of synonyms (e.g., 'percentage', 'rate', 'level') and ensure word choice is accurate and natural (e.g., 'met the target' instead of 'overtaked the target').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. Examples include: 'noticable' (spelling), 'the number reamained' (spelling), 'overtaked' (incorrect verb form), and missing articles (e.g., 'the target set by bus company'). There are also sentence structure problems, such as 'In contrast, the second graph detailing the figure...' which is a fragment. The range of grammatical structures is limited, with mostly simple sentences. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, correct verb tenses, and using a variety of complex structures (e.g., relative clauses, conditionals). Proofreading for spelling and punctuation is essential.
