The data presents the proportion of money spent in turkey, between 1960 and 2000.

Overall, the percentage of clothing increased markedly across the period. Although, food based proportion accounted for the larger drop for most of the years. Moreover, other figures also showed the similar variation.

At the beginning of the period, energy proportion stood at around 5, before declining to 1 in 2000. However, transport figures remained comparatively modest, it kept decreasing at a less steep rate from 10 percentage till 1990 at around 7, before declining to 3 in 2000.

Between 1960 and 2000, the leisure figure decreased steadily from 20 percentage to 12.

On the other hand, clotthing played a decisive role in the time frame, pushing from 9 to around 17 percentage to their highest level, surpassing the percentage of food in 2000. Lastly, the pattern shifted noticeably, the proportion of food kept falling from 35 to about 15 percentage in 2000.

Task Response

The report adequately addresses the task by describing the main trends and providing an overview. It covers all five categories and includes relevant data. However, there are some minor inaccuracies and omissions, such as not mentioning the exact values for some years and a slight error in the description of transport (it says 'kept decreasing at a less steep rate' but the data shows a steady decline). The report could be improved by more precise data reporting and clearer organization. Overall, it meets the requirements of the task with some lapses.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs, but the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear referencing. For example, 'food based proportion accounted for the larger drop' is vague, and 'it kept decreasing at a less steep rate' could be clearer. The use of cohesive devices is limited, and some sentences are overly long or run-on. To improve, use clearer topic sentences and ensure each paragraph focuses on a single trend or group of categories. Also, use a range of linking words and referencing to enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not always precise or varied. There are some errors in word choice and collocation, such as 'clotthing' (spelling error), 'pushing from 9 to around 17 percentage' (should be 'percentage points' or 'percent'), and 'the pattern shifted noticeably' (could be more specific). To improve, use a wider range of synonyms for 'percentage' (e.g., 'proportion', 'share', 'figure') and more precise verbs (e.g., 'rose', 'climbed', 'plummeted'). Also, ensure correct spelling and use of percentages (e.g., '5%' instead of '5').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex structures, but there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. For example, 'the percentage of clothing increased markedly across the period' is fine, but 'Although, food based proportion accounted for the larger drop for most of the years' has a comma splice and awkward phrasing. Also, 'it kept decreasing at a less steep rate from 10 percentage till 1990 at around 7' is confusing. To improve, focus on sentence structure, use correct punctuation (e.g., avoid comma splices), and ensure subject-verb agreement. Practice using a variety of complex sentences with accurate subordinate clauses.
