The bar chart compares the average price per kilo of clothing imported in the European Union from seven different countries in 1997 and 2003.

Overall, the average price of one kilo clothes imported from Argentina and Japan decreased while that brought from China, India and Bangladesh saw increases. Notably, Brazil remained unchanged.

Focusing on the declined price of imported clothing, the average price per kilo of clothing imported from Argentina was around 28 pounds in 1993. The figure then dropped to just above 25 pounds in 2003. Meanwhile, importing clothes into Europe from Japan cost 15 pounds per kilo, which fell to roughly 13 pounds in 2003. Of a particular note is that the cost of imported clothing from Brazil showed little to no change.

In contrast, it once cost 10 pounds to import one kilo clothing from China in 1993, albeit there was a dramatic rise to about 16 pounds in 2003. The average cost of imported clothing from India was more or less 7 pounds before rising to almost 12 pounds in 2003, whereas that of imported from Bangladesh went from 3 pounds to just above 5 pounds, making it the cheapest average price per kilo clothing.

Task Response

The report addresses the task and provides a clear comparison of the data, but it contains several inaccuracies and omissions. The years are incorrectly stated as 1997 and 2003 instead of 1993 and 2003. The trend for Brazil is described as 'unchanged,' but the data shows a decrease from 25 to 20. Additionally, the trends for India and Bangladesh are reversed: India decreased from 8 to 6, while Bangladesh decreased from 6 to 3. The report also omits the data for one country (likely a seventh country) and misstates some figures. To improve, ensure accurate representation of all data points and trends, and avoid introducing incorrect information.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overall statement and logical grouping of data. However, there are some minor lapses in coherence, such as the mention of 'seven different countries' when only six are listed, and the phrase 'that brought from China' is awkward. The paragraphing is adequate, but the second paragraph could be more clearly separated from the third to enhance flow. Overall, the message is easy to follow, but a few transitions could be smoother.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary related to describing trends (e.g., 'decreased', 'saw increases', 'dropped', 'dramatic rise'). There are some inaccuracies and awkward phrasings, such as 'the average price of one kilo clothes' (should be 'one kilo of clothing') and 'that brought from China' (should be 'that of clothing imported from China'). The phrase 'Of a particular note' is slightly unnatural; 'Of particular note' would be better. Overall, the lexical resource is adequate but not fully flexible or sophisticated.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains a few grammatical errors and awkward structures. For example, 'the average price of one kilo clothes' is missing 'of' and should be 'one kilo of clothing'. Also, 'that brought from China' is incorrect; it should be 'that of clothing imported from China'. The sentence 'whereas that of imported from Bangladesh' is missing a noun after 'that of'. Additionally, the report uses a mix of tenses (past and present) inconsistently. While there is some variety in sentence structures, the errors affect clarity and accuracy. More careful proofreading and attention to grammatical precision are needed.
