The given line graph illustrates information about the various reasons that prompted people to move to the capital city of a particular country.

Overall, it is clear that career and education opportunitites accounted for largest point of people relocating to the capital, while other factors played a comparatively minor role.

Moving to the details, employment remained the leading motivation throughout the period which started almost with 60,000 individuals moving to the capital city in 2000. From 2000 it rose till approximately 90,000 to 2005, and then reached its peak with over than 90,000 in 2010. In the end of the period in 2015 it fell slightly to approximately 90,000. As for education opportunitites, it started with well under 20,000 of people moving to other country, after which it increased sharply to about 50,000 in 2005, and then in 2010 it jumped remarkably and showed the same pattern as career to almost 90,000.

Turning to other reasons for relocation, family/friends and adventure started with the same position in 2000 with bit over 10,000 of migrated people, while in 2010 friends/family dominated the adventure with over 20,000 of people. However, adventure increased over the period and only peaked its maximum with approximately 16,000. While friends/family had the highest point with about 22,000 of people in 2015.

Task Response

The report addresses the task and provides an overview, but there are some inaccuracies and omissions. The data for study in 2000 is incorrectly stated as 'well under 20,000' instead of 25,000, and the description of the study trend is not entirely accurate (it did not show the same pattern as employment; it continued to rise to 88,000 in 2015). Additionally, the report omits the 2005 and 2010 data for family/friends and adventure, and the final sentence incorrectly states the peak for family/friends as 22,000 in 2015, whereas the data shows 24,000. The report would benefit from a more precise and complete selection of data, as well as clearer comparisons between the categories. However, the overall structure and language are adequate, and the main trends are identified.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and paragraphs for main details. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references (e.g., 'which started almost with 60,000', 'showed the same pattern as career'). The final paragraph mixes data points and years in a way that is hard to follow. To improve, use clearer topic sentences and ensure each paragraph focuses on a distinct set of information, with logical sequencing of data and comparisons.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'prompted people to move', 'leading motivation', 'relocating'). However, there are inaccuracies and repetitions (e.g., 'opportunitites' misspelled, 'over than 90,000' instead of 'over 90,000', 'bit over' instead of 'a bit over'). To improve, use a wider range of precise vocabulary (e.g., 'steadily increased', 'peaked at', 'remained stable') and ensure correct word forms and collocations.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex sentences, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward constructions that affect clarity (e.g., 'accounted for largest point' should be 'accounted for the largest proportion', 'it rose till approximately 90,000 to 2005' should be 'it rose to approximately 90,000 by 2005', 'in the end of the period' should be 'at the end of the period'). Punctuation is mostly correct, but some sentences are run-ons. To improve, proofread for subject-verb agreement, article usage, and preposition accuracy, and vary sentence structures more flexibly.
