Task Response

The report adequately addresses the task by comparing household expenditures in Malaysia and Germany. The main trends and specific data points are identified, but there are some minor inaccuracies and a few areas where the analysis could be more precise. To improve, ensure data accuracy and vary sentence structure for better flow.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally understandable, but the organization could be improved. The flow of information is somewhat disjointed, and the connections between sentences and paragraphs are not always clear. Consider using more explicit transition words and phrases to guide the reader. For example, use phrases like 'In contrast,' 'Similarly,' or 'Furthermore' to link ideas. Also, grouping similar information together would enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate but could be more precise and varied. There are instances of imprecise word choice (e.g., 'allways,' 'differance,' 'compaires'). Expanding your vocabulary and using more specific terms would improve the clarity and sophistication of the report. For example, instead of 'portion spent,' you could use 'percentage allocated' or 'proportion of expenditure.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Common errors include incorrect verb tenses ('compaires' should be 'compares'), subject-verb agreement issues ('percentages spent... were allways higher'), and incorrect word forms ('differance' should be 'difference'). There are also issues with sentence structure and punctuation. Proofreading carefully and focusing on basic grammar rules would improve accuracy. For example, 'About 20% of household income in Germany was saved while nothing remained in Malaysia' could be rephrased for better clarity and grammatical correctness.
