Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main features and making some comparisons. However, there are significant inaccuracies in the data (e.g., values in thousands instead of dollars, incorrect figures for several categories). The overall structure is clear, but the inclusion of inaccurate information detracts from task achievement. Focus on accurately reporting the data from the chart and avoid misrepresenting the units.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overall statement and separate paragraphs for each country. However, the flow could be improved by using more varied linking devices and ensuring smoother transitions between ideas. For example, the phrase 'As for country A' and 'As regards country B' is a bit repetitive. Consider using synonyms like 'Turning to' or 'In terms of' to enhance cohesion.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate and includes some good phrases like 'comprising', 'accounting for', and 'a hefty'. However, there are some inaccuracies and informal choices, such as 'the most unpopular option' and 'did not exceed a mere'. To improve, aim for more precise and formal language, such as 'the lowest expenditure' instead of 'the most unpopular option'. Also, avoid using 'a lot of' in academic writing. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings. For instance, 'while Transport and Healthcare making up' should be 'while Transport and Healthcare make up' or 'while Transport and Healthcare accounted for'. Also, 'its figures were not surpassing' should be 'their figures did not surpass'. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and the correct use of gerunds and infinitives. Proofreading for such errors will improve accuracy.
