Task Response

The response addresses the task by describing the bar charts for food and other goods in France, Germany, and England for 1998 and 2008. However, there are notable inaccuracies in the data reported, such as stating that food spending increased in every country when the visual shows a decrease for France, and misreporting values for other goods. The overview is partially correct but contains errors. The organization is basic with an attempt at paragraphing, but the language is often unclear and contains frequent errors in grammar and vocabulary, which affects the clarity of the response. To improve, focus on accurately interpreting the data, ensuring that trends are correctly identified, and using clearer, more accurate language.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and two body paragraphs. However, the progression within and between sentences is sometimes unclear due to awkward phrasing and missing or misused cohesive devices. For example, the overview is not clearly separated from the introduction, and the use of 'First' and 'Secnodly' is inconsistent. To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic, use a wider range of cohesive devices accurately, and proofread to avoid distracting errors.

Lexical Resource

The candidate uses a sufficient range of vocabulary to address the task, but there are noticeable errors in word choice and spelling (e.g., 'personals' for 'persons', 'precentages' for 'percentages', 'expences' for 'expenses', 'diversity' for 'difference'). Some phrases are awkward (e.g., 'more significantly grow spent money'). To achieve a higher band, aim for more precise and natural vocabulary, and check spelling and collocations. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but grammatical errors are frequent and sometimes impede communication (e.g., 'France sharply rose in 15 precentages to 40 precentages' is unclear; 'when limited the highest position' is ungrammatical; 'had same case' is missing a determiner; 'remaind steadly' is misspelled and misused). Punctuation is mostly correct, but there are errors in subject-verb agreement and tense. To improve, focus on accurate sentence construction, verb forms, and proofreading for basic errors.
