The line graph provides information on the number of people who immigrated to 3 different nations – The USA, Canada, and Australia – between 1991 and 2001. Overall, while the number of immigrants in the Canada exhibited an upward trend, the figure for Australia remained somewhat stable. Additionally, the figure for the USA remained the most dominant throughout the period, despite following a downward pattern and the most pronounced change.

Focusing on the decrease first, the number of people immigrated to the USA stood at 1.4 million in 1991; this figure then increased considerably, peaking at 1.8 million within a year, despite experiencing a drastic drop to 1 million in 1993. Following that, a moderate decline was observed in the figure with mild fluctuations, before finishing at around 900 thousand people.

In contrast, there was moderate growth in the figure for Canada. Having started the period with 200 thousand, the number of people immigrated to Canada remained almost unchanged at 200 thousand with subtle fluctuations, before eventually increasing to around 400 thousand in 2001.

Meanwhile, the number of immigrants to Australia remained almost stable at just below 200 thousand across the period.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing an overview and highlighting key trends for each country. It correctly identifies the USA as the dominant country, notes the overall decline in US immigration, and mentions the stability in Australia. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions: the Canadian trend is described as 'upward' but the data shows it was mostly stable until a sharp increase in 2001; the Australian figure is stated as 'just below 200 thousand' but the data shows it around 110-150 thousand; and the final US figure is approximated as 'around 900 thousand' while the data shows 880 thousand. To improve, ensure data descriptions are more precise and avoid overgeneralizing trends. Additionally, include more specific comparisons between countries, such as noting that Canada and Australia had significantly lower numbers than the USA throughout the period.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and easy to follow. The introduction clearly presents the data, and the overview effectively summarizes the main trends. The body paragraphs are logically divided by country, and the use of cohesive devices is generally smooth. However, there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the phrase 'the most pronounced change' which could be more clearly linked to the preceding information. Overall, the message is coherent and the paragraphing is well managed.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary with appropriate use of terms like 'exhibited an upward trend', 'remained somewhat stable', 'dominant', and 'pronounced change'. There is some repetition of phrases like 'the number of people immigrated to' which could be varied. The lexical choices are generally accurate and natural, but there is room for more sophisticated and varied expressions to achieve full flexibility. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a variety of sentence structures, including complex sentences and subordinate clauses, with good control. There are minor grammatical errors and phrasing issues, such as 'the Canada' (should be 'Canada') and 'the number of people immigrated to' (should be 'the number of people who immigrated to' or 'the number of immigrants to'). Punctuation is generally correct. Overall, the grammar is accurate and appropriate, with only minor lapses that do not impede understanding.
