This bar chart illustrates government spending on four sectors: education, healthcare, infrastructure and defence; and how it changed the spending in ten years (form 2010 to 2020).

How we can see for the education during 2010 the government spent around 150 billion USD, and five years later around 175 billlion, but in 2020 they reduced to 140 billion more or less.

Whilst for infrastructure and defense the way is the same but with different numbers, as we can see after the first five years the level decreases around 25 billion but in 2020 it increased of 10 billion more or less.

In conclusions the healthcare was the only one how during this ten years had a continuous augmentation: it started with 200 billion in 2010 and after ten years it arrived around 260 billion.

As we can see those levels depending on the sectors and the period.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains inaccuracies and lacks detail. The description of the data is not always accurate, and the analysis is superficial. To improve, focus on providing precise data and a more comprehensive overview of the trends. Also, ensure correct grammar and sentence structure. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report lacks clear organization and transitions between ideas. The flow of information is disrupted by grammatical errors and unclear phrasing, making it difficult to follow the main points. Paragraphing is present but not effectively used to separate distinct ideas. To improve coherence, use topic sentences to introduce the main idea of each paragraph and transition words to connect ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and lacks precision. There is limited use of synonyms or more sophisticated language to describe the trends and data. To enhance lexical resource, try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary related to economic trends and government spending. For example, instead of 'the way is the same,' consider using phrases like 'followed a similar trend' or 'exhibited a parallel pattern.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses, subject-verb agreement issues, and awkward phrasing. These errors significantly impact the clarity and accuracy of the report. To improve grammatical range and accuracy, focus on mastering basic sentence structures and verb tenses. Proofread carefully to identify and correct errors before submitting your work.
