The image presents two bar charts. The first chart compares 'Actual' and 'Target' percentages annually from 1999 to 2003. In 1999, Actual was 85% and Target was 86%. In 2000, Actual was 82% and Target was 86%. In 2001, Actual was 84.5% and Target was 85%. In 2002, Actual was 84% and Target was 85%. In 2003, Actual was 84.8% and Target was 84.5%. The second chart, titled 'Number of complaints (per thousand passenger's journeys)', displays values for five sequential periods: 70, 100, 85, 110, and 120.

The bar charts give the information about the percentage of services ariving on time (actual and target) and number of complaints (per thousand passenger’s journey).

Overall, it is obvious from the charts that most of transports have not achieved their target during all time, when the lowest percentage was 80%, except the 2003, when actual arriving time was higher than expected (approximately 85 percent); in 2003, there was the highest number of complaints (120) per thousand jorneys and the lowest point was about 70 complaints in 1999.

According to the first chart, it is seen clearly that almos none of the buses accessed the aim (the highest actual time was 85% in 1999), whereas there was the vast majority of actual time in 2003.

Furthermore, it is clear that, in 2003, there was the biggest number of complainers, comparing to the 1999, when it was the lowest number of complaints per thousand passenger’s voyage.

Task Response

The report addresses the main requirements of the task and identifies the key trends, such as the failure to meet targets and the relationship between the years and complaint numbers. However, the response is somewhat repetitive, particularly in the overview and the body paragraphs, which both repeat the same information regarding 1999 and 2003. To improve, try to group data more logically to avoid redundancy. Additionally, ensure that all data points from the visual description are utilized effectively to provide a more comprehensive summary, and aim for more precise vocabulary when describing trends and comparisons.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure, but the progression of ideas is sometimes hindered by awkward phrasing and punctuation. The use of cohesive devices is somewhat repetitive, and the connection between the two charts in the overview is a bit rushed. To improve, try to use a wider variety of linking words (e.g., 'In contrast', 'Conversely', 'Regarding') and ensure that each paragraph has a clear, distinct purpose. Avoid long, run-on sentences by using full stops to separate independent ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is somewhat limited and occasionally used inaccurately. For example, terms like 'accessed the aim' or 'actual arriving time' are not natural collocations in English; 'met the target' or 'punctuality rate' would be more appropriate. There are also spelling errors such as 'ariving', 'jorneys', and 'almos'. To improve, focus on learning academic collocations related to data description (e.g., 'reached a peak', 'remained steady', 'fell slightly') and ensure consistent spelling throughout the report.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates some attempt at complex sentence structures, but there are frequent errors in grammar and syntax that occasionally impede clarity. Issues include subject-verb agreement, incorrect article usage (e.g., 'the 2003'), and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'there was the vast majority of actual time'). To improve, practice using a variety of sentence types - such as relative clauses and subordinate clauses - more accurately. Pay close attention to prepositional use and the correct formation of comparative structures.
