Task Response

The report covers the main trends and provides relevant data from the chart. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data reported (e.g., transport in 2000 and 2020). To improve, ensure greater accuracy in reporting the data and avoid using vague language like 'just under one third' when more precise figures are available. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally coherent, with a clear overview and some attempt to group information. However, the organization could be improved. The final sentence feels somewhat disconnected from the preceding data. Consider using more cohesive devices to link ideas and improve the flow between sentences and paragraphs. For example, you could use transition words or phrases to indicate contrast, addition, or consequence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise and varied. While the report uses terms related to spending and trends, there's room for more sophisticated language to describe the changes and comparisons. For instance, instead of 'significant decreases,' consider using words like 'notable decline' or 'substantial reduction.' Also, try to avoid repeating the same words or phrases too often.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity. While the basic sentence structures are correct, there are errors in punctuation, article usage, and sentence construction. For example, the phrase 'food accounted for the highest data' is not idiomatic. Aim for more accurate and varied sentence structures. Proofread carefully to eliminate grammatical errors.
