The table presents the share of journeys by transport in four regions. Overall, the proportions of using a car was dominated in every country. The highest percentages – 90%, Canada. Although, the bar chart gives data about reasons why people travel by car. And the answer ‘no alternative’ is the most useful by society.

Focusing on the table. Journeys made by a car were the most used in every country. The proportion in the Canada is 90%, in the Belgium – 72%, Germany – 68%, and in the Netherlands – 47%. Traveling by bicycle is not very popular in almost all the regions and percentages barely reach 1-2%, except Netherlands where the share of journeys by bicycle is 26%. Journeys made by other forms of transport have similar situations. However, all the percentage is low: 1% or 3%. Public transport and travelling by foot also have identical proportions: the values of all columns are equal, except the Netherlands. The difference between values is 10%.

Turning to the bar chart. In general, the most popular choices answer the question “Why do you use a car?” is “no alternative”, which has a value of almost 40%, “need a car for work” – 30%, and “convenient” – 22%. The lowest proportions are “quicker” and “work nightshift”. Their percentages are nearly 10%.

Task Response

The report covers the main features of both the table and bar chart, and makes some comparisons. However, there are minor inaccuracies (e.g., 'convenient' is given as 22% but the data shows 25) and some vague statements (e.g., 'all the percentage is low'). The structure is clear, but the language could be more precise. To improve, focus on accurate data reporting and avoid generalisations.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a logical structure, but there are some issues with cohesion and paragraphing. The first paragraph attempts to introduce both the table and bar chart, but the connection between them is unclear. The phrase 'And the answer' is awkward. The second paragraph focuses on the table, but the final sentence about the difference between values is vague. The third paragraph discusses the bar chart, but the transition from the table is abrupt. To improve, use clearer linking phrases between paragraphs and ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic. Avoid run-on sentences and improve the flow of ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks sophistication and precision. Words like 'dominated', 'useful', and 'identical proportions' are used, but there is repetition (e.g., 'proportions', 'percentages'). Some phrases are awkward, such as 'the most useful by society' and 'the values of all columns are equal'. To improve, use a wider range of synonyms and more precise terms (e.g., 'predominant', 'negligible', 'comparable'). Avoid informal language like 'barely reach' and ensure collocations are natural (e.g., 'the most popular choices' could be 'the most common reasons').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex structures, but there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues. For example, 'the proportions of using a car was dominated' should be 'the proportion of car use was dominant'; 'the most useful by society' is incorrect; 'Focusing on the table' is a dangling modifier. There are also missing articles (e.g., 'in the Canada') and incorrect prepositions. To improve, proofread for subject-verb agreement, article usage, and sentence fragments. Use a wider range of grammatical structures, such as relative clauses and conditional sentences, with accuracy.
