The given line graph displays the reasons for moving away from a capital city to the suburban areas over the period of 20-years from 1990 to 2010.

Overall, it can be seen that all figures followed an upward trajectory throughout the period. In addition, the risingcost of living recorded a higher figure rather than the other reasons during the period.

At the beginning of the period, the number of people who moved to the countryside because of the rising cost of living accounted for the highest figure at around 65,000. This figure witnessed a notable surge to above 85,000 by 2000. However, following this peak, it underwent a slight decline to 80,000 by 2010.

The figures for traffic and lifestyle represented equal figures in 1990, at 20,000 people. In terms of traffic, it exhibited a sharp rise, reaching a figure between 30,000 and 40,000 in 2000, before increasing significantly to 60,000 by the end of the period. As for lifestyle, which was the lowest figure during the period, had a sharp rise to 40,000 individuals in 2010.

Task Response

The response addresses the task by describing trends in the three reasons for moving from a capital city to the countryside. However, there are notable inaccuracies in the data reported: for example, the rising cost of living is stated to start at 65,000 and peak at 85,000, whereas the visual shows it starting at 10,000 and peaking at 45,000. Similarly, traffic and lifestyle figures are misreported. The overview incorrectly claims all figures followed an upward trajectory, while lifestyle actually declined after 2000. To improve, ensure accurate reading of the graph and provide a clear overview that reflects the main trends without contradictions.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear introduction, overall trend, and body paragraphs. Cohesive devices are used effectively to link ideas. However, there are minor lapses in coherence: the overall statement that 'all figures followed an upward trajectory' is not entirely accurate as one figure declined after a peak, and the final sentence about lifestyle is incomplete and does not clearly state the trend. Additionally, the phrase 'rather than the other reasons' is slightly awkward. To improve, ensure that the overview accurately reflects the data and that all sentences are complete and clear.

Lexical Resource

A wide range of vocabulary is used appropriately, with some less common words and phrases such as 'upward trajectory', 'notable surge', and 'exhibited'. However, there are a few inaccuracies: 'risingcost' is a spelling error (should be 'rising cost'), and 'recorded a higher figure rather than' is not idiomatic; 'higher figure than' would be better. Also, 'represented equal figures' could be more naturally expressed as 'were equal'. Overall, the vocabulary is strong but could be refined for more precise and natural use.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

A good range of grammatical structures is used, including complex sentences and passive voice. The report is generally accurate with only minor errors: 'risingcost' is a spelling mistake, and the final sentence is grammatically incomplete ('As for lifestyle, which was the lowest figure during the period, had a sharp rise...' lacks a main clause). Punctuation is mostly correct. To achieve a higher score, ensure all sentences are complete and free from spelling errors.
