The summary overview was almost complete. You just forgot to reference that the vehicle sales were measured in the millions of units. Good job in summarizing the necessary information just the same. You did a good job of presenting the short form of the information and you discussed the whole report in less than 200 words. Those are enough considerations for you to get a higher preliminary TA score.


Oops. Your GRA and LR scores will be facing deductions in this case. You forgot that "number" references the plural form of a word. Therefore, "bicycle" should have had a +S at the end to create the grammatically correct plural form. This is a slight oversight but will still result in deductions being applied to these 2 scoring sections.
