The charts give information on the proportion of supermarket-bought food and goods in three European countries between 1998 and 2008.

Overall, both food and goods bought from supermarkets observed an upward trend in all three European countries. It is also clear that country B had the highest share in both categories in 1998, while it was country A which was the highest in 2008.

The share of supermarket-bought food of country A was 10% in 1998, compared to around 24% of country B and roughly 6% of country C. In 2008, the figure for country A grew exponentially to 35%, while both country B and C reported minimal growth, climbing to approximately 24% and about 7% in the same order.

Starting 1998 at around 3%, the proportion of goods purchased in supermarkets of country A was almost triple the figure for country C, which was about 1%. Regarding country B, its statistic was significantly higher than the two remaining countries, which was roughly 25% in the same year. Starting 2008, both country A and C observed dramatic growth, soaring to just under 40% (country A) and around 16% (country C). As for country B, its figure underwent marginal change, rising to approximately 26% in 2008.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing an overview and highlighting key trends. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., food percentages for Country B and C in 1998 and 2008, and goods percentages for Country A and C in 1998). The report also omits some specific data points. To improve, ensure all figures are accurately reported and consider including all relevant data for a more complete response.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear overall structure. The introduction paraphrases the task, and the overview effectively highlights key trends. The body paragraphs are logically divided between food and goods, and comparisons are made. However, some transitions could be smoother, and the use of cohesive devices is sometimes repetitive. For example, 'while' and 'compared to' are used frequently. To improve, vary linking words and ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is generally appropriate and shows some flexibility, with terms like 'upward trend', 'grew exponentially', 'soaring', and 'marginal change'. However, there are some inaccuracies and awkward phrasings, such as 'observed an upward trend' (better: 'showed an upward trend') and 'its statistic was significantly higher' (better: 'its figure was significantly higher'). Also, 'in the same order' is unclear. To improve, use more precise and natural collocations, and avoid overstating trends (e.g., 'exponentially' may be too strong for a 10% to 35% increase).

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of sentence structures, including complex sentences and comparisons. However, there are some grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. For example, 'Starting 1998 at around 3%' should be 'Starting in 1998 at around 3%' or 'In 1998, starting at around 3%'. Also, 'its statistic was significantly higher' should be 'its figure was significantly higher'. Additionally, 'Starting 2008' should be 'In 2008' or 'By 2008'. The punctuation is mostly correct, but some sentences are long and could be broken up for clarity. Overall, the errors are minor and do not impede understanding, but they prevent a higher score.
