The given chart illustrates the average price per kilogram of clothing purchased by European Union from six different nations between 1997 and 2003.

Overall, it is obvious that clothing imported from Argentina and Brazil were the most expensive throughout the period. Conversely, the cost of clothing from Asian countries witnessed significant growth, except for Japan was the only Asian country to see a decline.

Looking at the first conuntries, Argentina saw the highest import cost at around 28 pounds per kilogram in 1997, before dropping slightly to around 26 pounds in 2003. Brazil followed closely, with clothing price remained unchanged at approximately 23 pounds in both years. Meanwhile, the figure for Japan started at 15 pounds in 1997, then it experienced a steady fall to roughly 13 pounds at the end of the period.

Regarding remaining countries, China’s import price stood at 10 pounds in 1997, but then climbed considerably to reach 17 pounds in 2003, making it the highest increase among all countries. Similarly, India recorded a noticeable growth from 7 to around 12 pounds over the 6-year period. Bangladesh had the cheapest clothing prices, it doubled from 3 to 6 pounds between 1997 and 2003.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing a clear overview and detailed comparisons of the data for both years. The overall trend is accurately described, and the data for each country is presented with relevant figures. Minor omissions, such as not explicitly stating the units for all values, are acceptable. The report is well-structured and coherent, with a logical progression from the overview to specific details. To improve, ensure that all data points are consistently labeled with units and that the language remains precise throughout.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The grouping of countries (expensive vs. Asian countries) is logical and helps the reader follow the trends. However, there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the phrase 'Looking at the first conuntries' which is awkward and contains a typo. Additionally, the transition from the overview to the first body paragraph could be smoother. Overall, the message is easy to follow, and paragraphing is managed well.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'illustrates,' 'witnessed significant growth,' 'climbed considerably,' and 'recorded a noticeable growth.' There is some repetition of 'cost' and 'pounds,' but this is acceptable. However, there are a few inaccuracies and awkward phrasings, such as 'the first conuntries' (typo) and 'clothing price remained unchanged' (should be 'the price of clothing remained unchanged'). The lexical resource is adequate but not fully flexible or sophisticated, with some minor errors that prevent a higher score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and appropriate use of tenses. However, there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect accuracy. For example, 'purchased by European Union' should be 'purchased by the European Union,' 'except for Japan was the only Asian country' is a run-on and should be rephrased, and 'it doubled from 3 to 6 pounds' is missing a comma before 'it.' Additionally, 'clothing price remained unchanged' should be 'the price of clothing remained unchanged.' These errors are noticeable but do not impede understanding. With more careful proofreading, the grammatical accuracy could be improved.
