Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main trends and making some comparisons. However, there are several inaccuracies in the data (e.g., bus and tram percentages are misreported, and the train figure for 2005 is incorrect). The description of trends is somewhat unclear and contains minor lapses in coherence. To improve, ensure data accuracy and provide a clearer, more structured overview of the main features. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report attempts to present an overview and some comparisons, but the flow is disrupted by unclear phrasing and awkward transitions. The paragraphing is present but not skillfully managed, and the message is not always easy to follow. To improve, focus on creating a clear structure: start with a general overview of the main trends, then describe each transportation mode in separate paragraphs with logical sequencing. Use cohesive devices like 'in contrast', 'similarly', and 'over the period' to link ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is limited and sometimes used inaccurately (e.g., 'most component', 'moderate position', 'kept decreasing'). There is some attempt at variation, but the range is narrow and lacks sophistication. To improve, learn and use precise terms for describing trends (e.g., 'declined steadily', 'rose sharply', 'fluctuated', 'peaked at'). Avoid vague phrases and ensure word choices are natural and appropriate for the context. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains frequent grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, which affect clarity. Issues include missing articles, incorrect verb forms, and run-on sentences (e.g., 'Overall,in 1995,bus was the most component...', 'bus's proportion dropped nearly 10% more than tram's'). Punctuation is often missing or misused. To improve, practice using a variety of sentence structures (simple, compound, complex) correctly. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement, article usage, and proper punctuation. Proofreading carefully can help reduce errors.
