THE TWO PIE CHARTS DEPICT THE HOUSEHOLD BUDGET ALLOCATION BY MIDDLE-CLASS FAMILIES IN FOUR DIFFERENT CATEGORIES IN THE YEARS 2012 AND 2015.

OVERALL, IT IS EVIDENT THAT MIDDLE-CLASS FAMILIES SPENT THE MOST OF THEIR INCOME ON HOUSING, WHEREAS MISC. WAS THE LOWEST RATIO IN 2015.

TO BEGIN WITH, IN 2012, FOOD/CLOTHES AND VACATIONS/LEISURE WERE EQUAL PROPORTIONS, WHICH STOOD AT ONE-FOURTH. THE HIGHEST AMOUNT SPENT BY MIDDLE-CLASS FAMILIES WAS ON HOUSING, WHICH ROSE 10% ABOVE THE FOOD/CLOTHES AND VACATIONS/LEISURE CATEGORIES (35%). THE LOWEST EXPENDITURE WAS BY LOW-INCOME GROUPS IN MISC. ACCOUNTED FOR LESS THAN A FIFTH.

IN 2015, HOUSING AND FOOD/CLOTHES WERE INCREASED BY 15% AND 10%, RESPECTIVELY. HOWEVER, THE EXPENDITURE BY MIDDLE-CLASS FAMILIES ON MISC. WAS DECREASED BY 10% (5%). SIMILARLY, VACATIONS/LESUIRE WAS LESS PREFERRED BY LOW-INCOME GROUPS, WHICH COMPRISED ONE IN TEN (10%). ALL THE CATEGORIES WERE DECREASED IN TERMS OF EXPENDITURE BY THE MIDDLE CLASS EXCEPT HOUSING AND FOOD/CLOTHES.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by summarizing the main features of the two pie charts and making relevant comparisons. The overall trend is clearly identified, and key data points are presented. However, there are a few minor inaccuracies and omissions: the report mentions 'low-income groups' which is not part of the task, and the phrase 'ALL THE CATEGORIES WERE DECREASED... EXCEPT HOUSING AND FOOD/CLOTHES' is slightly confusing because it implies a comparison across all categories, but the data only shows changes for two years. Additionally, the report could be more precise in describing the changes (e.g., housing increased from 35% to 50%, food/clothes from 25% to 35%, etc.). Overall, the response is well-structured and covers the requirements, but these minor lapses prevent it from achieving a higher score.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear overall statement and separate paragraphs for each year. However, the flow could be improved by using more cohesive devices to link ideas within and between paragraphs. For example, the transition from the 2012 to 2015 data could be smoother, and the final sentence could be better integrated. The paragraphing is adequate but could be more skillfully managed to enhance readability.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'depict', 'allocation', 'expenditure', and 'comprised'. However, there are some inaccuracies and awkward phrasings, such as 'MISC.' instead of 'Miscellaneous', 'rose 10% above' (which is unclear), and 'less preferred by low-income groups' (which is irrelevant and confusing). The lexical range is adequate but not fully flexible or sophisticated, and some word choices are imprecise. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including comparative and passive constructions. There are minor errors and awkward phrasings, such as 'THE HIGHEST AMOUNT SPENT BY MIDDLE-CLASS FAMILIES WAS ON HOUSING, WHICH ROSE 10% ABOVE...' (the verb 'rose' is used incorrectly) and 'THE EXPENDITURE BY MIDDLE-CLASS FAMILIES ON MISC. WAS DECREASED' (passive voice is awkward). Punctuation is generally correct, but the report is written in all caps, which is unconventional and may affect readability. Overall, grammar is mostly accurate with a few lapses.
