The provided bar chart depicts total costs on medical research by 5 companies during from 2012 to 2018 and provides a forecast for 2030.

Overall, it is evident that the amount of money spent on inquiry by each company has risen. For instance, spendings of Flemin have doubled in 2018, compared to 2012. It can be noticed that Bioharm has experienced a major improvement in expenses. The least change has been made in Pharm, the rise was from approximately 8 billion dollars in 2012 to 13 billion dollars in 2018.

If we take a closer look at the estimation of expenditures in 2030, it can be noticed that the most significant rise will happen to the Novas company (about 56 billion dollars). However, a smoother increase will be experienced by Avicena or Pharm corporation. Steady rise in spendings of research can be explained by a stable position in the field and lack of need to conduct major analysis.

Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main trends and providing some specific data. However, it contains some inaccuracies (e.g., 'Bioharm' instead of 'Biopharm', 'Avicena' instead of 'Avicenna', and the figure for Novas in 2030 is given as 'about 56 billion' instead of 55). The final sentence introduces a speculative explanation that is not supported by the chart, which is inappropriate for a task 1 report. To improve, focus on accurately reporting the data, avoid unsupported interpretations, and ensure all companies are correctly named. Additionally, consider structuring the report more clearly by grouping the data for each time period or company.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and a detailed section. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear referencing (e.g., 'the rise was from approximately 8 billion dollars in 2012 to 13 billion dollars in 2018' could be more smoothly integrated). The final sentence introduces an unsupported explanation, which detracts from the coherence. To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear central idea and use cohesive devices more naturally to link sentences and ideas.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a reasonable range of vocabulary related to trends (e.g., 'depicts', 'forecast', 'risen', 'significant rise', 'smoother increase'). However, there are some inaccuracies and repetitions (e.g., 'spendings' should be 'spending' or 'expenditure', 'inquiry' is not the best word for 'research', 'major improvement' is vague). To achieve a higher score, use more precise and varied terms (e.g., 'expenditure', 'investment', 'substantial growth', 'moderate increase') and avoid informal or incorrect collocations.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For example, 'during from 2012 to 2018' is incorrect (should be 'from 2012 to 2018'), 'spendings' is non-standard, and 'the rise was from approximately 8 billion dollars in 2012 to 13 billion dollars in 2018' is a run-on. Punctuation is generally correct, but the final sentence is a fragment and not well integrated. To improve, proofread for subject-verb agreement, use correct prepositions, and ensure each sentence is complete and clearly expressed.
