The given pie charts illustrate the households expenditure in a country from 2005 to 2025 and divides the spending into five categories: Housing, Food, transport, entertainment, and other.

Overall, it is clear that households spent the largest share of their income on housing in both years, and the expenditure on housing, transport, and entertainment increased.

At the beginning of the period, around 30% of households income was spent on housing. In addition, the expenditure on housing experienced a significant growth, reaching 35% by 2025. Similarly, the spending on transport and entertainment rose dramatically from 15% to 20% and from 10% to 15%, respectively, between 2005 and 2025.

In contrast, the spending on food was accounted for the 2nd largest share of households income in 2005, at 25%; however, the spending on food followed a downward trend, reaching 18% by the end of the period. Moreover, the expenditure on other sectors declined significantly from 20% to 12% between 2005 and 2025.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing a clear overview and accurately describing the main trends in household spending across the five categories. The data is presented logically, with a good balance between general trends and specific figures. Minor omissions, such as not explicitly stating the units (percentage of total spending) and a slight grammatical issue ('was accounted for'), do not detract from the overall clarity and coherence. To improve, ensure all sentences are grammatically precise and consider explicitly mentioning the time frame in the overview.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'In addition', 'Similarly', and 'In contrast' helps the reader follow the progression. However, there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the phrase 'the spending on food was accounted for' which is awkward and disrupts flow. Additionally, the overview could be more concise and clearly highlight the most significant trends. To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic and use a range of linking words naturally.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary related to describing data, such as 'expenditure', 'share', 'experienced a significant growth', 'downward trend', and 'declined significantly'. There is some repetition of 'spending' and 'expenditure', which could be varied with synonyms like 'outlay', 'costs', or 'proportion'. The phrase 'households income' should be 'household income' for accuracy. Overall, the lexical resource is adequate but could be more sophisticated and precise.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and appropriate use of tenses. However, there are a few errors and awkward phrasings that affect accuracy. For example, 'the spending on food was accounted for' is grammatically incorrect; it should be 'accounted for' without 'was'. Also, 'households income' should be 'household income'. The sentence 'the expenditure on housing experienced a significant growth' could be more naturally phrased as 'increased significantly'. To achieve a higher score, ensure subject-verb agreement and use more varied sentence structures.
