Task Response

The report covers the requirements of the task, identifying key trends and providing relevant data from both pie charts. However, there are some inaccuracies (e.g., housing rose to 35% in 2015) and omissions (e.g., not explicitly stating that 'other' spending remained relatively low in both years). To improve, ensure data accuracy and strive for a more comprehensive overview by including all significant features and comparisons.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an adequate attempt to organize the information, but the flow could be improved. Consider using more varied cohesive devices to link ideas within and between paragraphs. The organization is present, but the connections between sentences and ideas could be clearer to enhance the overall coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally appropriate, but there's room for improvement in terms of variety and precision. Try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary related to trends and comparisons. For instance, instead of repeatedly using 'rose' or 'increased,' explore synonyms like 'grew,' 'expanded,' or 'escalated.' Also, ensure that the vocabulary is used accurately in context. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Focus on improving sentence structure and ensuring correct verb tense usage. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and the proper use of articles and prepositions. Proofreading carefully can help identify and correct these errors.
