Task Response

The report adequately addresses the task by summarizing the main features of the bar chart and making relevant comparisons between France and the UK's expenditures on consumer goods in 2010. The overview is clear, and the body paragraphs provide specific details and comparisons. To improve, ensure that numerical data is more accurate and that there is a consistent level of detail throughout the report. Also, focus on refining sentence structure and vocabulary to enhance clarity and precision.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an attempt to organize the information, but the flow is somewhat disjointed. The introduction and overall statement are present, but the body paragraphs lack clear topic sentences and transitions between categories. Consider using more cohesive devices to link ideas within and between paragraphs. For example, phrases like 'Similarly,' 'In contrast,' or 'Furthermore' could enhance the logical progression. Also, avoid repetition by combining similar ideas into single sentences.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement in terms of precision and variety. While words like 'expenditure,' 'highest,' and 'lowest' are used, incorporating more specific and sophisticated vocabulary related to financial data and consumer goods could elevate the report. For instance, instead of 'spent more money,' consider using phrases like 'had a higher outlay' or 'invested more heavily.' Also, avoid direct repetition of words. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains grammatical errors that affect clarity. There are issues with sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, and the use of articles. For example, 'As a graph shows different goods' is not grammatically correct. Also, the report contains some awkward phrasing. Focus on constructing clear and grammatically accurate sentences. Proofreading carefully for errors in tense, agreement, and word order is essential.
