Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by summarizing the main features of the three pie charts and making relevant comparisons. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs for each nutrient. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., sodium lunch and dinner percentages are swapped, and saturated fat percentages are misreported). Additionally, the overview could be more precise, and the phrasing in the second paragraph is slightly awkward. To improve, ensure data accuracy and refine the clarity of your sentences.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the overview contains a slight inaccuracy in the phrasing 'breakfasts contain all three nutrients at the least amount' which may confuse the reader. The body paragraphs are well-structured, but the transition between the first and second body paragraphs could be smoother. Overall, the message is easy to follow, but there are minor lapses in cohesion.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and varied, with terms like 'contribution', 'dominate', and 'distribution'. However, there are some repetitive phrases and a few awkward expressions, such as 'showed the largest proportion' and 'the breakfast presents the least consumption'. The range of vocabulary is adequate but could be more sophisticated to achieve a higher band score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains a few grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. For example, 'consumed in USA' should be 'consumed in the USA', and 'showed the largest proportion' lacks a subject. Additionally, there are minor issues with subject-verb agreement and article usage. The range of structures is limited, and more complex sentences could be used to improve the score.
