Task Response

The report generally addresses the task by describing the main features and making some comparisons. However, there are significant inaccuracies in the data (e.g., stating amounts in hundreds of thousands instead of hundreds, and misreporting several figures). The overall structure is clear, but the inclusion of incorrect information detracts from the task achievement. To improve, ensure that all numerical data is accurately transcribed from the visual and that the scale (US dollars) is correctly represented. Focus on precise reporting of key figures and avoid inventing or misstating values. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-structured with a clear introduction, an overall summary, and separate paragraphs for each country. The message is easy to follow, and cohesion is used effectively. However, the paragraphing could be slightly improved by integrating comparisons more naturally within the same paragraph rather than separating them by country, which would enhance the flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and varied, with terms like 'allocated', 'substantial', and 'accounted for'. However, there is some repetition (e.g., 'Housing ranked first', 'Housing also came first') and the phrasing could be more sophisticated. For example, using synonyms like 'predominant' or 'leading category' would improve lexical range. Additionally, the report incorrectly uses dollar amounts (e.g., '$850,000' instead of '$860'), which affects accuracy. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is largely accurate with a good range of structures, including comparative forms ('$50,000 higher than') and complex sentences. There are no major errors, but minor issues like the incorrect use of 'did not surpass' (should be 'did not exceed') and the inconsistent use of commas in numbers (e.g., '850,000' instead of '860') slightly detract from overall accuracy. Punctuation is generally correct.
