Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing an overview and key comparisons. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., the US figures, the figures for Netherlands and Sweden in 2008, and the trends described for 2009-2010). To improve, ensure that all data points are accurately reported and that the trends described align with the visual information. Additionally, consider structuring the report to clearly separate the overview from the detailed analysis, and avoid vague phrases like 'around' or 'from 19 to 25' when exact figures are available.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear overall structure: introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs. The use of cohesive devices is generally effective, and the progression of ideas is logical. However, there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the phrase 'in which the US notably outnumbered others' which could be more smoothly integrated. Additionally, the final sentence could be clearer in its comparison between the Netherlands and Sweden. Overall, the message is easy to follow, and paragraphing is managed well.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, with words like 'displayed', 'outnumbered', 'notably', and 'considerably'. There is flexibility in expression, and the language is generally accurate and natural. However, there is some repetition of phrases like 'the amount of dollars for financial aid' and 'showed a downward trend', which could be varied for a more sophisticated lexical control. Overall, the vocabulary is used effectively, but there is room for more variety and precision. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a variety of sentence structures, including complex sentences, and demonstrates good grammatical control. There are no significant errors, and punctuation is used correctly. However, there are a few minor issues, such as the use of 'that from the latter' which could be rephrased for clarity, and the phrase 'in which' could be simplified. Overall, the grammar is accurate and the range is sufficient, but a wider variety of structures could be employed to achieve full flexibility.
