Overall, it is clear that food hit the highest point in both years. With the exception of books which significantly fell, spending on clothes, smartphones and toiletries rose. It shows that people’s preferences changed over time.

In 2010 the expenditure of food was over 35 million dollars. By 2014 it had risen to approximately 44 million dollars which held the peak whereas clothes remained static. 25 million dollars is a plateau.

Moreover, expenditure on toiletries slightly grew, from approximately 17 million dollars to 20 million dollars. However, spending on books markedly decreased by half.

Task Response

The report covers the main trends and key features of the bar chart, providing a general overview and some specific details. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data reported (e.g., the values are off by a factor of 1000). To improve, ensure greater accuracy in reporting the data and provide more specific comparisons and details to support the overall trends. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report presents a generally clear overview, but the organization could be improved for better flow. The 'Overall' paragraph is a good start, but the subsequent paragraphs could benefit from clearer topic sentences that introduce the main trend being discussed. Consider grouping similar trends together to enhance coherence. For example, discuss the increases first, then the decreases. The phrase '25 million dollars is a plateau' is unclear and disrupts the flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise and varied. While words like 'surged,' 'static,' and 'markedly' are effective, there's room to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary to describe the trends and data. For instance, instead of 'rose,' consider using 'increased,' 'climbed,' or 'ascended,' depending on the magnitude of the change. Also, avoid inaccuracies; the values are in the thousands of millions, not just millions.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a fair command of grammar, but there are noticeable errors that affect clarity. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and accurate use of articles and prepositions. For example, 'spending of people aged 18-20 in five different activity' should be 'spending of people aged 18-20 on five different activities'. Review and correct these errors to improve grammatical accuracy.
