slightly irrelevant, inappropriate or inaccurate. 
(CC) Coherence and Cohesion
Candidate arranges information and ideas coherently, and there is a clear overall 
progression. Uses cohesive devices effectively, but cohesion within and between 
sentences may be faulty or mechanical. May not always use referencing clearly or 
appropriately when beginning paragraphs. 
(LR) Lexical Resource
 
Uses an adequate range of vocabulary for the task. Attempts to use less common 
vocabulary but with some inaccuracy. Makes some errors in spelling and or word 
formation, but they do not impede communication. 
(GRA) Grammatical Range and Accuracy
 
Uses a mix of simple and complex sentence forms. Makes some errors in grammar 
and punctuation but they rarely reduce communication.

The first table depicts the data that was obtained from a research, about the 
populations and the reasons of a hundred thousand British people travelling overseas 
from 1994 to 1998, and the following bar chart illustrates the 
country destinations
during this period of time. 
Overall, most of the british citizen
s
travelled abroad for leisure times. As it can be 
seen on the table, there was a general trend of increase for UK citizens travelling 
outside of their country. However, at the second year in 1995, there happens to be a 
modest decline of around 500.
