Task Response

The report adequately addresses the task by summarizing the main features of the data and making relevant comparisons. The overview is acceptable, and the body paragraphs provide specific details about changes in expenditure across different categories. To improve, ensure that the data is consistently accurate and that the language is precise and grammatically correct throughout the report.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report presents a basic overview of the data, but the organization could be improved. The 'overall' paragraph is a good start, but the subsequent paragraphs lack clear topic sentences and a logical flow. Consider grouping categories with similar trends together (e.g., increases, decreases, stable) to enhance coherence. Paragraphing could be improved by focusing each paragraph on a specific aspect or trend in the data.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is somewhat limited and lacks precision. For instance, using 'proportion of money that family has spent' could be more concise and accurate. There are also instances of awkward phrasing, such as 'minor part is ocurred by entertainment.' Expanding your vocabulary and focusing on more precise language would improve this area.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Examples include incorrect verb forms ('family has spent'), incorrect article usage ('the majority of expenses are ever the housing'), and awkward sentence structures ('The only three categories who increased'). Focus on improving your understanding of basic grammar rules, including verb tenses, articles, and sentence structure. Proofreading carefully for errors is also essential.
