The given line graph illustrates the proportion of individuals who used four different types of transport in a European city between 1990 and 2020.

Overall, the proportion of people who used car recorded the highest percentage, whereas bus use recorded the lowest. In addition, both bicycle and train use increased steadily over the period.

In 1990 car was the least popular type of transport at 25%, while bus was the most popular at 45%. By contrast, car use increased significantly at 40% in 2000 and at 50% in 2010, before reaching a peak at 65% in 2020. Meanwhile, the percentage of people who used bus fell to 35% in 2000 and 25% in 2010, before fell further to 20% in 2020.

In contrast, both bicycle and train use stood at 15% in 1990. However, train falled to 10% in 2000, while bicycle remained stable at 15% in 2000. Both type of transport increased steadily over the period starting at 20% bicycle and 15% train in 2010 continued to 25% bicycle and 20% train in 2020.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains significant inaccuracies and omissions. It mentions four types of transport, but the visual description only includes three (cars, buses, bicycles). The data provided for 1990 and 2000 do not match the visual description, and the trends described for cars and buses are incorrect. The report also includes train, which is not part of the data. To improve, focus on accurately describing the trends and key features of the given data, avoid introducing irrelevant information, and ensure all data points are consistent with the visual information.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and body paragraphs. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references (e.g., 'both bicycle and train use increased steadily' in the overview, but the data description later contradicts this with a decline for train). The paragraphing is logical, but the progression of ideas within paragraphs could be smoother. To improve, ensure that the overview accurately summarizes the main trends and that each paragraph focuses on a clear set of data points, using cohesive devices to link ideas more naturally.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'illustrates', 'proportion', 'recorded', 'significant', 'peak', and 'remained stable'. However, there are some inaccuracies and repetitions (e.g., 'recorded' used twice, 'fell' used repeatedly, and 'falled' is incorrect). The phrasing is sometimes awkward (e.g., 'before fell further' should be 'before falling further'). To improve, use a wider variety of synonyms and ensure correct word forms and collocations (e.g., 'experienced a decline', 'saw a rise', 'remained constant'). Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report attempts to use a range of grammatical structures, including comparative and superlative forms, and some complex sentences. However, there are several grammatical errors that affect clarity, such as 'car was the least popular' (should be 'cars were'), 'before fell further' (should be 'before falling further'), 'train falled' (should be 'train fell'), and 'Both type of transport' (should be 'Both types of transport'). Punctuation is mostly correct, but the errors in verb forms and subject-verb agreement need to be addressed. To improve, review past tense forms and ensure subject-verb agreement throughout.
