The image displays two graphs. The first, titled "Percentage of Food Budget Spent on Restaurant Meals vs. Home Cooking", consists of four pie charts. For 1970, the budget was 10% on restaurant meals and 90% on home cooking. For 1980, it was 15% and 85% respectively. For 1990, it was 35% and 65%. For 2000, it was 50% for each. The second graph is a line chart titled "Fast Food vs. Sitdown Restaurant", showing the "Number of Meals / Per Year". For Sitdown Restaurant Meals, the data points are: 20 in 1970, 40 in 1980, approximately 45 in 1990, and 50 in 2000. For Fast Food Meals, the data points are: 30 in 1980, 60 in 1990, and approximately 85 in 2000.

Given the complexity of the image, the above description may not be entirely accurate.

The pie chart and line graph compare middle-class family’s spendings on restaurant cuisines and the number of cuisines eaten in fast food restaurants and sit-down restaurants in different years. In general, home cooking showed the highest percentage during 20 years period. Additionally, while the number of meals eaten in sit down restaurants was increasing slowly, those of fast food meals increased significantly.

To begin with pie charts, the percentage for restaurant meals was low at around 10% at the beginning of the period. Over the years, the percentage increased slowly at only 5%. In 1990, it doubled at around 35%. Food budget for restaurants meals and home cooking meals showed the same proportion by the end of the period at 50% each.

When it comes to line graph, at the beginning of the period, both number of meals were similar, at 20%, after sometimes they both started increasing. While the number of fast food meals was slightly lower than those of sit-down restaurant in 1980, suddenly, it commenced to increase dramatically.

Task Response

The report addresses the main trends in both charts, but there are some inaccuracies and omissions. For instance, the data for fast food meals in 1970 is missing, and the description of the line graph is incomplete, as it does not provide specific figures for 1990 and 2000. Additionally, the phrase 'at 20%' is incorrect for the number of meals, which should be expressed as a count, not a percentage. The report would benefit from a clearer structure, separating the overview from the detailed analysis, and ensuring all key data points are accurately reported.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and separate paragraphs for the pie charts and line graph. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear referencing (e.g., 'after sometimes they both started increasing'). The overview is present but could be more clearly separated from the details. To improve, use clear topic sentences and ensure each paragraph focuses on a single main idea. Also, use cohesive devices more effectively to link ideas within and between sentences.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally appropriate for the task (e.g., 'spendings', 'cuisines', 'proportion', 'commenced'). However, there are some inaccuracies and less natural choices, such as 'middle-class family's spendings' (should be 'spending' or 'expenditure') and 'cuisines' (should be 'meals' or 'food'). The range of vocabulary is adequate but not wide, and some phrases are repetitive (e.g., 'meals' used frequently). To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary, and avoid informal or incorrect terms.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex sentences, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For example, 'at only 5%' is unclear, 'both number of meals were similar, at 20%' is incorrect (should be '20 meals'), and 'after sometimes' is not standard English. Punctuation is mostly correct, but some sentences are run-ons or lack proper connectors. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, correct use of percentages vs. numbers, and sentence structure. Proofreading for common errors would help.
