Task Response

The report covers the main features of the data and makes some comparisons, satisfying the task requirements. However, there are some areas for improvement. The organization could be more structured, and the report could benefit from more precise language and detail. For instance, instead of saying 'below 20% were expended on others,' you could specify which categories fall into that range. Also, ensure consistent spelling ('clothing' instead of 'clothong').

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates some organization, but the flow of information could be improved. Consider using more varied cohesive devices to link ideas within and between paragraphs. Paragraphing is present, but could be more effectively used to group related information and create a clearer structure. For example, you could group categories that saw increases in spending versus those that saw decreases.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary, but there are instances where more precise word choices could enhance clarity. For example, instead of 'allocated large percentage,' consider 'dedicated a significant portion.' Expanding your vocabulary related to financial trends and household expenditures would be beneficial.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and article usage. For example, 'Families allocated large percentage' should be 'Families allocated a large percentage'. Proofreading carefully and focusing on sentence structure will improve grammatical accuracy.
