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.

Task Response

The report effectively summarizes the main trends and makes relevant comparisons. It clearly identifies the overall decline in car use and the increases in bus and bicycle use, and it provides specific data for each year. There are minor inaccuracies (e.g., 'decrease' should be 'decreased', 'increased' should be 'increased', and the final sentence incorrectly states 'in 2000' instead of 'in 2020'), but these do not detract from the overall clarity and task achievement. To improve, ensure grammatical accuracy and proofread for small errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The use of cohesive devices is generally effective, but there are minor lapses, such as the final sentence incorrectly stating 'in 2000' instead of 'in 2020', which could confuse the reader. Paragraphing is managed well, but ensure that each paragraph focuses on a clear main idea and that transitions between ideas are smooth.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and shows some flexibility, with terms like 'declined significantly', 'rose gradually', and 'accounting for'. However, there is room for more sophisticated and precise word choices. For example, 'diverse forms of transport' could be 'various modes of transport', and 'improved again' could be 'recovered' or 'returned to its original level'. Overall, the lexical range is adequate but not fully developed. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains a mix of simple and complex structures, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For instance, 'The figure then decrease' should be 'The figure then decreased', and 'increased steadily' should be 'increased steadily from...'. Additionally, the final sentence has a factual error ('in 2000' instead of 'in 2020') and a missing period after '2020'. Punctuation and article usage also need attention. To improve, review verb tense consistency and sentence structure.
