Task Response

The report successfully identifies the main trends in the graph, such as the decline in food spending and the rise in clothing spending, and makes comparisons between categories. However, it lacks specific data points (e.g., percentages for each year) which would strengthen the summary. The description of transport's decrease is slightly inaccurate; the sharp drop occurred after 1990, not during that year. To improve, include exact figures to support the trends and ensure accuracy when describing changes over time.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates a basic attempt to organise information, but the logical flow is hindered by run-on sentences and unclear topic management. The paragraphing is not effective, as the second paragraph mixes two categories without clear separation. To improve, use clear topic sentences for each paragraph and ensure each paragraph focuses on a distinct set of features. Also, avoid unnecessary phrases like 'looking at this graph we can see' and instead directly state the main trends.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is limited and repetitive, with frequent use of basic terms such as 'decreasing rate' and 'increasing rate'. There is little attempt to use synonyms or more precise language (e.g., 'declined', 'rose', 'remained steady'). Some word choices are inappropriate or inaccurate (e.g., 'peak was back in 1960', 'huge decreasing'). To improve, expand your lexical range by learning synonyms for common trends and practice using them in context. Avoid informal phrasing like 'back in 1960'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors, including subject-verb agreement ('graph represent', 'it have'), incorrect tense usage, and missing punctuation. Sentence structures are often fragmented or run-on, making the meaning unclear. There is very little variety in sentence patterns. To improve, focus on mastering basic subject-verb agreement and punctuation. Practice writing shorter, clearer sentences before attempting more complex structures. Proofreading for common errors is essential.
