• Have you included references to the correct units? (e.g.; month, year, km, litres)
• Have you mentioned the peaks or troughs shown in the graphic?
• Is the answer long enough (150 words)?
• Is there a sense that the report has been planned?
• Are words or phrases taken from the question paraphrased?
• Are there cohesive devices used?
• Is a wide range of vocabulary used?
• Is a wide range of grammar used?
• Is the language used simple or complex?
