The given table shows the percentage of people who used four diverse forms of transport to travel to work in 2000,2010 and 2020.

It is clear that the proportion of car use declined significantly over the period, while the use of bus and bicycle rose gradually. Car use remained the most popular transportation throughout the period whereas walking stayed the same as in the start.

In 2000, cars were the most popular type of transport, accounting for 55% of commuters. The figure then decrease to 50% in 2010 and 40% in 2020. However, buses followed an opposite trend, increased steadily from 25% in 2000 to 30% in 2010 and 35% in 2020.Despite this increase, cars were still more popular than that of buses in 2020.

The proportion of people who travelled by bicycle also went up through the period. It rose from 10% in 2000 to 12% in 2010, before reaching to 15% in 2020. In contrast, walking showed a slight fluctuation. The figure decreased from 10% to 8% between 2000 and 2010, then improved again to 10% in 2000.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by summarizing the main trends and making relevant comparisons. It clearly identifies the decline in car use and the increases in bus and bicycle use, and it notes the fluctuation in walking. The data is generally accurate, with only minor omissions (e.g., not explicitly stating that walking returned to its original level). The structure is logical, with an overview followed by detailed paragraphs. To improve, ensure all data points are accurately reported and avoid minor errors such as 'decrease' instead of 'decreased' and 'in 2000' instead of 'in 2020' in the final sentence. Overall, the response is well-organized and covers the key features.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The progression of ideas is logical, and the use of cohesive devices is mostly effective. However, there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the abrupt transition in the second sentence of the overview and the final sentence, which ends with 'in 2000' instead of 'in 2020', causing a slight confusion. To improve, ensure that all references are clear and that the final sentence accurately concludes the trend.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'diverse forms of transport', 'accounting for', 'followed an opposite trend'). However, there are some inaccuracies and less natural phrasing, such as 'decrease' instead of 'decreased', 'increased steadily' (which is fine but could be more varied), and 'improved again' which is not the most precise term for a return to a previous level. To achieve a higher score, use a wider range of synonyms and more precise academic vocabulary, and ensure correct word forms. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including comparative and contrastive sentences. However, there are several grammatical errors that affect clarity, such as 'The figure then decrease' (should be 'decreased'), 'increased steadily' (missing subject), 'reaching to' (should be 'reaching'), and the final sentence incorrectly states 'in 2000' instead of 'in 2020'. Additionally, there are punctuation issues, such as missing spaces after commas. To improve, proofread carefully for subject-verb agreement, verb tense consistency, and correct use of prepositions and punctuation.
