Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 6.0

The response effectively covers the main trends in passenger numbers chronologically and provides a recognizable overview of the highest and lowest points. However, the report relies on slightly imprecise vocabulary for numerical data and contains recurring grammatical errors with articles and sentence structures. To improve, focus on using precise task-appropriate terminology for data counts and refining grammatical accuracy in complex structures.

Scoring rule

Key fluctuations and peak times are accurately identified, though the overview misapplies terminology related to proportions rather than absolute counts.

Next step

Ensure overall summaries use exact data types, distinguishing absolute numbers from percentages or proportions.

CC

Coherence and Cohesion

6.0
Scoring rule

The descriptions follow a clear chronological sequence that makes the overall progression easy to follow.

Next step

Vary sentence openings and cohesive devices to connect time intervals more naturally instead of repeating time references.

Vocabulary is generally adequate to describe movement, but some words like uptake and proportion are used incorrectly.

Next step

Select precise lexical items appropriate for graph trends, such as volume or total count instead of proportion.
