Task Response

The report adequately covers the main features of the bar chart, providing a general overview and some specific details. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data reported (e.g., 'Germany spent around over 400,000 euros, which was 70,000 euros higher than the UK and France, equal at approximately 340,000 euros' - the UK and France spent 330,000 on housing). To improve, ensure greater accuracy in reporting the data and consider a more structured approach to comparing and contrasting the expenditures across the countries and categories.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a generally clear structure with an introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, the flow could be improved with more cohesive devices to link ideas within and between paragraphs. For instance, using transition words or phrases to signal comparisons, contrasts, or shifts in focus would enhance coherence. Paragraphing is generally adequate, but could be more skillfully managed to group related information more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates an adequate range of vocabulary, but there's room for improvement in using more precise and sophisticated language. While the vocabulary is generally appropriate, some word choices could be more natural and accurate. For example, consider using synonyms or more specific terms to describe the data. Focus on expanding your vocabulary related to describing trends, comparisons, and quantities. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable command of grammar, but there are noticeable errors that affect clarity. Sentence structures are generally simple, and there's potential to incorporate a wider range of structures for greater complexity and precision. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and accurate use of articles and prepositions. Proofreading carefully for grammatical errors is essential.
