The two bar charts depict the proportions of food and goods purchased in supermarkets in many nations in Europe between 1998 and 2008.

Overall, it is clear that the percentages of both types of products increased over the two years. Moreover, while food and goods were mostly consumed in country B in 1998, that was seen in country A in the next 10 years.

In terms of the two countries having the comparatively lower figures of food bought in 1998, country A accounted for exactly 10%, which was more than twice higher compared to country C. Meanwhile, the percentage of goods sold in supermarkets in countries A and C stood at roughly 5% and 2%, respectively. After a decade, there was noticeable growth in the rate of food as well as goods in country A, reaching approximately 40%. Similarly, country C followed the same pattern, with food rising slightly to 8% and goods increasing strongly to 15%.

In contrast, country B, the leading nation in 1998, recorded above 20% in the level of food and goods consumed. After that, these figures experienced an upward trend to a comparable level of 27%.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing an overview and describing the main trends for both charts. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., goods for country C in 1998, food for country C in 2008, and the final figures for country B) and some vague language (e.g., 'many nations' instead of 'three countries', 'roughly', 'approximately'). To improve, ensure all data points are accurately reported and use more precise figures. Additionally, consider making the comparison between the two charts more explicit, as the task asks for a comparison of food and goods. Overall, the response is well-organized and covers the main features, but the data inaccuracies and lack of precise comparisons prevent it from achieving a higher score.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear overall structure, including an 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 the next 10 years' which could be more precise, and the final paragraph could be more clearly linked to the preceding one. Overall, the message is easy to follow, and paragraphing is managed well.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary with some flexibility and precision. Words like 'proportions', 'purchased', 'accounted for', 'noticeable growth', and 'upward trend' are used appropriately. However, there are some inaccuracies and less natural phrasing, such as 'more than twice higher compared to' (should be 'more than twice as high as') and 'the leading nation' (could be 'the country with the highest percentage'). The lexical resource is adequate but not consistently sophisticated or natural.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a variety of sentence structures with good control. There are minor grammar and phrasing issues, such as 'that was seen in country A' (should be 'this was seen in country A') and 'the level of food and goods consumed' (could be 'the percentages of food and goods consumed'). Punctuation is generally correct. The errors are infrequent and do not impede understanding, but they prevent a higher score for grammatical accuracy.
