The graph illustrates the spending of UK residents on visits abroad for different aims: holiday, business, visiting friends or relatives or miscellaneous, between 1993 and 2013.

Overall, holiday was the main factor during 20-year period. It showed upward trend, while other spendings were relatively stable, and low.

In 1993, UK residents spent ~9 about billion £ on holidays, then this figure rose up to 25 billion £ in 2008. However, holiday spending dropped to around 21 billion £ in 2009, furthermore increasing again slightly till 2013.

On the contrary, miscellaneous spendings remained the least substantial, staying at about 2 billion £ during all the term. Although, business and visiting friends spendings started at around 2.5 billion £ and 1 billion £ respectively, by 2009 these expenses got the same figure and then followed the similar pattern.

In conclusion, while holiday expenses had the most significant growth, other purposes of spendings remained relatively stable. So, perhaps, the economy influenced such strong growth of holiday spending of UK residents.

Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by identifying the main trends and making relevant comparisons. It correctly highlights the dominance of holiday spending and the relative stability of other categories. However, there are a few inaccuracies (e.g., holiday spending in 2008 is cited as 25 billion instead of 23 billion) and some imprecise data points (e.g., business spending starting at 2.5 billion, miscellaneous spending described as 'about 2 billion' throughout, despite its later peak). The concluding sentence introduces a speculative reason ('perhaps, the economy influenced'), which is outside the scope of the task. To improve, ensure all figures are accurately reported and avoid adding personal explanations. Focus strictly on summarizing the data trends and comparisons.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and paragraphs for details. However, cohesion is sometimes weak: the use of 'furthermore' and 'Although' is not always logical, and the final paragraph contains an unsupported speculation about the economy, which disrupts the flow. Paragraphing could be improved by separating the overview from the detailed analysis more clearly. Work on using linking words with precision and ensuring each paragraph has a clear central topic.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, with some appropriate terms such as 'upward trend' and 'relatively stable'. However, there is limited range and flexibility. Some phrasing is awkward or imprecise ('spending of UK residents on visits abroad for different aims', 'rose up to', 'staying at about'). Avoid informal or vague terms like 'the main factor' and 'the least substantial'. Try to use a wider variety of precise vocabulary (e.g., 'expenditure', 'peaked', 'fluctuated', 'remained steady') and more sophisticated collocations.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors and punctuation issues that detract from clarity. There are missing articles ('during 20-year period', 'fell in 2009'), incorrect verb forms ('this figure rose up to', 'increasing again'), and awkward sentence structures. Punctuation is often misused (e.g., misplaced commas, overuse of 'However' and 'Although'). To improve, review basic grammar rules (articles, verb tenses, and subject-verb agreement) and practice constructing a wider range of complex sentences with accurate punctuation.
