With regards to the households without cars, it began just under a half, than went down in the next 20 years to about 30 percent and remained unchanged in the end of the period. Likewise, the number of one-car owners slightly dipped to approximatelly a fifth in 1991 and soared to around 43 percent in 2001.

Task Response

The report adequately covers the main trends in car ownership, noting the changes in households with no cars, one car, and two cars over the given period. The overview is acceptable, and the body paragraphs present the data with some accuracy. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data reported, and the language could be more precise. To improve, focus on accurately representing the data and using more precise language to describe the changes and proportions.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report presents a general overview and attempts to highlight key trends, but the organization could be improved for better clarity. The flow of information is somewhat disjointed, particularly in the third paragraph, where the description of 'one car' ownership seems to contradict earlier statements about 'two cars'. Consider using more precise transitional phrases to guide the reader and ensure a smoother progression of ideas. Paragraphing is acceptable but could be refined to group related information more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates an adequate range of vocabulary, but there are instances where word choice could be more precise and natural. For example, 'vary number of cars' could be improved to 'varying numbers of cars'. The use of 'noticeable rise' and 'significantly varied' is acceptable but lacks sophistication. Try to incorporate a wider range of synonyms and more descriptive language to enhance the impact of your writing. Also, be careful with spelling ('illustartes' should be 'illustrates').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For instance, 'general pattern in owing a car' should be 'general pattern of owning a car'. The sentence structure is often simple, and there are issues with subject-verb agreement and article usage. For example, 'the number of the households decreased' should be 'the number of households decreased'. To improve, focus on using a wider range of sentence structures and carefully proofread for grammatical errors and inaccuracies.
