Task Response

The report identifies some main features of the pie chart but includes inaccuracies (e.g., misreporting percentages and categories). The structure is present but could be improved with a clearer overview and more effective comparisons. To improve, focus on accurately representing the data and grouping information logically.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally understandable, but the organization could be improved. The introduction is adequate, but the body paragraphs lack clear topic sentences and transitions. Grouping similar categories together (e.g., heating rooms/water) and then comparing them to other categories (e.g., appliances, entertainment) would enhance coherence. The flow of information could be smoother with better use of cohesive devices.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement in terms of precision and variety. Using more specific terms related to proportions and comparisons (e.g., 'a significant portion,' 'considerably less,' 'a marginal difference') would enhance the report. Some phrases are a bit awkward ('made up modest shares').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'the main reasons why electricity is used in an usual English household' should be 'an average English household.' Also, 'The figure for TV and radio accounted for 18%, whereas the kitchen appliances made up more significant proportion, accounting for 19%,' contains awkward phrasing and a potential inaccuracy (the visual description states 18% for ovens/kettles/washing machines and 15% for lighting/TV/radio). Proofreading carefully and focusing on sentence structure would improve accuracy.
