The table contrasts the proportion of public transport usage of adult commuters, surveyed in seven Australian cities, from 1996 to 2006.

Overall, Sydney topped the list in terms of the percentage of the consumption of public transit despite having modest increase throughout the years, while the most significant growth was seen in the figure for Brisbane. Additionally, although almost all cities underwent upward trends, the data of the use of shared transportation of Hobart and Canberra saw reverse patterns.

Looking first at places witnessing the most dramatic surge, the figure for Brisbane dominated others with 33% of change, increasing from 12% in 1996 to 16% in 2006. Similarly, the percentage of the consumption of public transport in Adelaide also witnessed a notable increase of 21%, starting at 14% in 1996 before edging up to 17% in 2006, becoming the second busiest city in public transport usage.

Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth mirrored these upward trends but on a smaller scale, with the proportion of Sydney being superior to others from 23% in 1996 to 26% in 2006 even though it grew modestly 13%. The change of Perth outshone others in this group (at 16%), but there was only 13% of adults using public transport in this city before rising to 15% in 2006, while the figure for Melbourne increased from 11% in 1996 to 12% in 2006.

Unlike the aforementioned destinations, only Hobart and Canberra experienced declines regarding the percentages of the transit systems usage. The former contributed 11% to the shared transportation of Australia before decreasing to 9% ten years later, displaying a 18% drop. Canberra recorded the most significant decline in all cities examined (at 33%), starting at 12% in the first year of the period, which was the average proportion of commuters using public transport, only to edge down to 8% in 2006, being the least active place of shared transportation.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting an overview of the data, highlighting key trends, and providing specific figures for each city. The structure is logical, with a clear introduction, overall summary, and detailed paragraphs. The language is generally appropriate and descriptive. However, there are a few minor inaccuracies (e.g., 'consumption of public transit' could be more precise, and 'the second busiest city' is not directly supported by the data). Additionally, some phrasing is slightly verbose or informal (e.g., 'outshone others'). To improve, focus on using more precise vocabulary and ensuring all comparisons are directly supported by the data. Overall, the response is well-developed and meets the task requirements with only minor lapses.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-structured and logically organized, with a clear overall trend statement followed by detailed analysis. Paragraphing is effective, and the use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'Looking first at', 'Similarly', and 'Unlike the aforementioned destinations' helps guide the reader smoothly. However, there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the slightly awkward transition in the third paragraph where 'Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth mirrored these upward trends but on a smaller scale' could be more clearly linked to the previous paragraph. Overall, the message is easy to follow.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary, with appropriate use of terms like 'consumption of public transit', 'upward trends', 'reverse patterns', 'dramatic surge', and 'edging up'. The phrasing is generally natural and sophisticated, such as 'topped the list' and 'outshone others'. However, there are some instances of slightly awkward or repetitive expressions, such as 'the percentage of the consumption of public transit' (could be simplified to 'public transport usage') and 'the data of the use of shared transportation' (could be more concise). A wider variety of synonyms for 'percentage' and 'change' would enhance lexical flexibility.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences with subordinate clauses (e.g., 'with the proportion of Sydney being superior to others...') and comparative forms. Punctuation is generally correct. However, there are a few grammar errors and phrasing issues, such as 'despite having modest increase' (should be 'a modest increase'), 'the figure for Brisbane dominated others with 33% of change' (awkward phrasing; better as 'Brisbane saw the largest change of 33%'), and 'displaying a 18% drop' (should be 'an 18% drop'). These errors, while not frequent, slightly affect the overall accuracy and control. With more careful proofreading, the grammatical accuracy could be improved.
