The provided pie charts illustrate how households in a European country spent their income on different categories in 1990 and 2020.

Overall, there were significant changes in spending patterns over the period. The proportion of income spent on food decreased noticeably, while spending on housing, transport, and recreating increased.

In 1990, the most share of household income went to food, which accounted for 33%. Housing came next at 20%, followed by transport at 15%. The least amount was spent on recreation (only 10%), while the remaining 22% was spent to other expenses.

By 2010, food cost dropped significantly to 25%, becoming only slightly higher than housing expenditure, which had risen substantially to 28%. Similarly, transport expenses rose to 20%, and spending on recreation also climbed slightly to 12%. On the other hand, the share of other expenditures fell sharply to 15%.

Task Response

The report effectively summarizes and compares the data presented in the pie charts. The overview is clear, and the body paragraphs provide sufficient detail about the changes in spending patterns. There is a good use of data to support the descriptions. To improve, ensure that all data is completely accurate (e.g., housing expenditure in 2010 was 29%, not 28% as stated in the report) and that the years mentioned are correct (2020 should be 2010). The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overview, followed by detailed descriptions of each year. The information is presented logically, and the paragraphing is effective. However, transitions between some sentences could be smoother to enhance the flow.

Lexical Resource

A good range of vocabulary is used to describe the data, including terms like 'accounted for,' 'rose substantially,' and 'fell sharply.' However, there's room to incorporate more sophisticated vocabulary to elevate the description further. For instance, instead of 'food cost dropped significantly,' consider using 'food expenditure diminished considerably.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good command of grammar with a variety of sentence structures. There are only minor grammatical errors. Ensure accuracy by proofreading carefully, paying attention to verb tense consistency and correct article usage.
