The data displays the percentage of total household expenditure in an European country in 2020, divided into five different categories: housing, food, transport, healthcare, education.

Overall, spending on housing accounts for the major share of household budget, followed by food. Healthcare represented the smallest proportion of the overall expenditure.

The chart illustrates that the people living in Europe tend to spend more on housing which contributes to 30% of total expenditure. Food contributed as the second largest category sitting at 25%. Together they make up 55% of all costs.

Transport and Education take up 15% each of total costs making it the same amount of money spent on housing. The rest of the budget is spent on healthcare, that accounts for just 10% making it the category that is spent the least on.

Task Response

The report covers the main features of the chart and makes relevant comparisons. It correctly identifies the largest and smallest categories and notes the equal proportions for transport and education. However, there are a few minor inaccuracies and omissions: the task mentions six categories, but the report lists only five, and the statement that transport and education together equal housing is incorrect (they sum to 30%, which is equal to housing, but the phrasing is ambiguous). Additionally, the report could be more concise and precise in its language. Overall, the response is adequate and addresses the task, but with some lapses in accuracy and clarity. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overall statement and logical grouping of data. However, the final sentence contains a confusing comparison ('making it the same amount of money spent on housing') that disrupts the logical flow. To improve, ensure that comparisons are clearly and accurately expressed, and that each paragraph focuses on a single main idea with smooth transitions.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'accounts for the major share', 'contributes to', 'take up'). However, there are some awkward and less natural expressions, such as 'the people living in Europe' (which is too general) and 'making it the same amount of money spent on housing' (which is awkward). To improve, use more precise and natural collocations, and avoid informal or awkward phrasing.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains a few grammatical errors and awkward structures that affect clarity. For example, 'in an European country' should be 'in a European country', and 'that is spent the least on' is awkward and should be 'on which the least is spent' or 'the category with the least spending'. The range of sentence structures is limited, and some sentences are repetitive. To improve, use a wider range of complex structures and ensure grammatical accuracy throughout.
