Band 6+: The line graph shows the percentage of people in a European city who used cars, buses and bicycles between 2000 and 2020. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The report effectively identifies the main trends and makes relevant comparisons, such as noting that cars had the highest figures and bicycles the lowest. The overall structure is clear, with an overview followed by detailed observations. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., bicycle usage is stated as 19% and bus usage as 20% at the end, while the visual description shows 25% for both). Additionally, the report omits the initial car percentage (55% in 2000) and the bus fluctuation details could be more precise. To improve, ensure data points are accurately reported and consider including all key figures to fully satisfy the task requirements. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overall trend statement and a logical progression from general to specific details. However, the paragraphing could be improved for better clarity. The second paragraph introduces the car and bus trends, but the third paragraph returns to the bus category, which creates some repetition and disrupts the flow. Consider grouping all information about each transport type in a single paragraph or using clearer topic sentences to guide the reader.

The vocabulary used is appropriate and demonstrates some range (e.g., 'recorded the highest figures', 'gradual fall', 'fluctuated considerably'). However, there is room for more precise and varied language. For instance, 'stood at' could be replaced with 'peaked at' or 'reached a high of', and 'followed a different pattern' could be more specific. Additionally, the report could benefit from more sophisticated synonyms for 'category' and 'period'.

The grammar is largely accurate, with only minor issues. The phrase 'for 20-year period' should be 'for a 20-year period'. The sentence 'the car category stood at 60% in 2005, before decreasing to 50% by 2020' is well-constructed. The report uses a mix of simple and complex structures effectively. To achieve a higher score, consider incorporating a wider range of grammatical structures, such as passive voice or conditional clauses, where appropriate.
