Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main trends and comparing the categories across the two years. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., transport is stated as 30% instead of 33%, and housing is described as 'over 40%' when it is 42%, which is acceptable, but the phrasing 'both share over 40% and over 30%' is unclear). The report also lacks a clear overview summarizing the key changes, such as the overall decrease in food and entertainment spending and the increase in housing. To improve, provide a clear overview paragraph and ensure data is reported accurately. Additionally, use more precise language and avoid vague expressions like 'slightly under' and 'just below' when exact figures are available. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a logical structure, but the flow is disrupted by unclear phrasing and awkward transitions. The first paragraph introduces the chart, but the second and third paragraphs mix data from both years without clear organization. To improve, consider grouping by year or by category, and use clear linking words (e.g., 'In contrast', 'Similarly') to guide the reader. Also, ensure each paragraph has a clear central idea.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but limited, with some imprecise word choices (e.g., 'spend the most' instead of 'spending was highest', 'count' instead of 'proportion'). There is some attempt at variety (e.g., 'accounted for', 'share'), but the range is narrow. To improve, use more precise and varied terms (e.g., 'expenditure', 'percentage', 'figure', 'ranked') and avoid informal or vague language. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and awkward constructions that affect clarity. For example, 'food recorded as the most spending' is incorrect, and 'that both share over 40% and over 30%' is confusing. There are also issues with subject-verb agreement and article usage. To improve, focus on sentence structure, use a wider range of grammatical structures (e.g., passive voice, relative clauses), and proofread for accuracy.
