The given bar chart presents the figure for family expanses in the US that was categorized by income per year in 2007, 2011 and 2015. It can be clearly observed that the income categories such as less than $25,000, $25,000-$49,999, $50,000-$74,999, and $75,000-$99,999 always had similar patterns over the years. In contrast, the $100,000 or more category had a fluctuation trend over the period.

As it can be seen in the chart, the revenue less than $25,000 had a close number of expenses over 8 years with less than 30 million, followed by the salary in the range $25,000-$49,999 that had equal numbers of households with the first category. Moreover, the annual income between $50,000-$74,999 and $75,000-$99,999 experienced the same condition that always balanced throughout the period with approximately 15 million and 22 million respectively.

On the other hand, the salary ranges $100,000 or more starting with just under 30 million in 2017. Then, it slightly decreased to 25 million in 2011 and jumped to almost 40 in 2015 which was the highest expenditure.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains significant inaccuracies and misinterpretations. It mislabels the data as 'expenses' and 'revenue' instead of household numbers by income, and includes incorrect figures (e.g., starting at 'just under 30 million in 2017' and 'jumped to almost 40 in 2015'). The description of trends is vague and not consistently supported by the data. To improve, focus on accurately reporting the number of households in each income category for the three years, highlight key changes (e.g., the rise in the highest income group), and make clear comparisons. Ensure all data points are correct and avoid introducing irrelevant or incorrect information.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a logical structure with an introduction and two body paragraphs, but the flow is sometimes disrupted by unclear referencing and abrupt transitions. For example, the phrase 'the same condition that always balanced throughout the period' is vague, and the final paragraph introduces a year ('2017') that is not in the task, which confuses the reader. To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear central idea, use cohesive devices more precisely (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly'), and avoid introducing irrelevant information. Also, make sure the conclusion or final sentence effectively summarizes the main trends without adding new data.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but limited and sometimes imprecise. For instance, 'family expanses' and 'revenue' are not appropriate for describing household income, and 'expenditure' is used incorrectly. There is also repetition of phrases like 'the same condition' and 'balanced'. To improve, use a wider range of precise terms such as 'household income', 'income brackets', 'remained stable', 'experienced a rise', and 'peaked at'. Avoid informal or inaccurate expressions, and ensure that the language is formal and appropriate for an academic report. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For example, 'the figure for family expanses' is incorrect, 'had a fluctuation trend' is not idiomatic, and 'starting with just under 30 million in 2017' contains a wrong year and tense inconsistency. There are also issues with subject-verb agreement and article usage. To improve, practice using a variety of sentence structures, ensure subject-verb agreement, and proofread for common errors. Use past tense consistently when describing data from past years, and avoid direct translations that sound unnatural.
