The bar chart gives data about CO2 emissions for various transport forms in the European Union, while the pie chart illustrates the proportion of European Union funds being spent on different forms of transport.

Overall, air represents the maximum grams of CO2 emissions, whereas roads show the highest percentage of European Union funds.

Air is the dominant category, with over 200 km, while buses and coaches experience lowest figures, around 70 km and 45 km respectively. Maritime and rail categories share the similar rate, with 50 km.

The rate of roads transport is maximum, with 52%. The second place is railways, with 31%. The percentage of public transport is low, with 10%. The remainin categories share lowest figures, not over than 3%.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by describing both charts, but it contains several inaccuracies and omissions. The overall trend is mentioned, but the data for CO2 emissions is incorrectly reported (e.g., air is stated as 'over 200 km' instead of grams per passenger-kilometer, and the values for buses, coaches, maritime, and rail are inaccurate). The pie chart description is somewhat accurate but lacks specific comparisons and details. To improve, ensure accurate data representation, use correct units, and provide a clearer summary of main features with relevant comparisons. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear structure with an introduction and an overview, but the organization of details could be improved. The paragraphs are not logically divided, and the flow from one idea to the next is sometimes abrupt. For example, the second paragraph mixes information about the bar chart and the pie chart without clear transitions. To improve, use clear topic sentences for each paragraph and ensure that each paragraph focuses on one main idea. Additionally, use cohesive devices such as 'in contrast', 'similarly', and 'while' to link ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate but not particularly varied or sophisticated. There are some inaccuracies, such as 'over 200 km' and '50 km' which are not appropriate for describing emissions (should be grams per passenger-kilometer). Also, 'the remainin categories' is a misspelling. To improve, use a wider range of precise vocabulary related to data description (e.g., 'approximately', 'significantly higher', 'comparable', 'minority share'). Ensure correct spelling and word forms.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentences, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings. For example, 'Air is the dominant category, with over 200 km' is unclear and grammatically incorrect. 'The rate of roads transport is maximum' should be 'The proportion for road transport is the highest'. Also, 'not over than 3%' should be 'no more than 3%'. To improve, proofread for subject-verb agreement, article usage, and prepositions. Use a variety of sentence structures, including relative clauses and passive voice, to enhance grammatical range.
