Task Response

The report fully satisfies the requirements of the task. It provides a clear overview of the main trends, including the comparison between the two companies and the identification of the highest and lowest expenditure categories. The data is presented accurately and logically, with effective comparisons made throughout the body paragraphs. The use of grouping (comparing high-expenditure items first, then low-expenditure items) enhances the coherence of the report.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and easy to follow. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'In terms of', 'Similarly', and 'On the other hand' helps guide the reader through the comparison effectively. The paragraphing is logical, separating the overview, the categories where Acme led, and the categories where Famous led. To reach a higher band, ensure that the transition between the overview and the body paragraphs is even more seamless and avoid slightly repetitive sentence structures.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and varied, with good use of synonyms such as 'expenditure', 'amount of money spent', 'corporations', and 'sources'. The use of 'as opposed to' and 'respectively' demonstrates a good command of lexical features for comparison. To improve, you could incorporate more sophisticated academic collocations and avoid slightly informal phrasing like 'the Famous corp' or 'every category asked'. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and comparative forms. Punctuation is generally accurate. There are minor issues with phrasing and article usage (e.g., 'the Famous corp' instead of 'Famous Corp' or 'the Famous company'). Maintaining consistent formal tone and ensuring precision in noun-phrase constructions will help elevate the accuracy to a professional level.
