The tables show us the quannity of exports being transported through Rotterdam over a ten-year period and the level of taxation imposed on the goods at destination.

Regarding the volumes, total exports increased slightly, reaching 18600 million tonnes by 2012. Within this total, the most areas declined in volumes. For example, Europe- the largest destination- declined from 6900 million to 6400 million tonnes , and the USA-the second largest- dropped to 3900 million. China decreased marginally from 2400 to 2300 million, and Latin America fall to 1500 million in 2012. The “other” remained static to 350 million. By contrast, there was a considerable rose to 2550 and 2300 million in the figure for Asia Pacific and Australasia, respectively.

Turning to taxasion, reaching at 2% in the USA, China, Latin America and Asia Pacific, and dipping to 1% in Australasia. In Europe, it rose to 8% by 2012, while the “other” remained stagnant

In summary, the table give a bond data between the amount of exports and the rates of tax imposed.

Task Response

The report addresses the main requirements of the task by identifying the trends in both export volumes and tax rates. You have successfully highlighted the increase in total exports and the significant growth in the Asia Pacific and Australasia regions. However, the response is somewhat weakened by an incomplete sentence in the paragraph regarding taxation, which prevents a full description of the data for that category. Additionally, the summary at the end attempts to draw a correlation ('bond data') between exports and tax rates; in Task 1, you should avoid interpreting or suggesting relationships that are not explicitly stated, focusing instead on describing the data provided. To improve, ensure all sentences are grammatically complete and focus on describing the data trends rather than speculating on connections between the two tables.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a summary. However, the coherence is significantly hindered by sentence fragments, particularly in the paragraph discussing taxation. For instance, the sentence starting with 'Turning to taxation...' lacks a main verb and fails to form a complete thought. Additionally, the summary at the end attempts to draw a correlation ('a bond data') that is not clearly supported by the data provided, which can confuse the reader. To improve, ensure every sentence has a subject and a predicate, and use cohesive devices more effectively to link ideas rather than just listing data.

Lexical Resource

There is an attempt to use varied vocabulary (e.g., 'declined', 'dropped', 'stagnant', 'considerable'), but there are several errors in word choice and spelling that affect the quality. For example, 'quannity' (quantity), 'taxasion' (taxation), and 'rose' used as a noun instead of 'rise' are noticeable errors. The phrase 'the most areas declined' is unidiomatic; 'most regions' or 'most destinations' would be more appropriate. Furthermore, the concluding phrase 'give a bond data' is unclear and does not convey a precise meaning. Aim for greater precision in word choice and double-check the spelling of key academic terms.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical inaccuracies that impact readability. There are issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'the table give'), tense consistency (e.g., 'Latin America fall' instead of 'fell'), and sentence structure. The most significant issue is the use of fragments, where entire clauses are left without a functional verb, making the information difficult to process. There are also punctuation errors, such as the use of hyphens where commas or parentheses would be more standard. To improve, focus on mastering complex sentence structures and ensuring that every sentence is grammatically complete.
