Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by providing an overview and detailed comparisons of the four categories. It correctly identifies the overall trend (food declining, others rising) and highlights housing as the largest and fastest-growing expense. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., food starting at $150 instead of $160, housing starting at $100 instead of $120, transport starting at $15 instead of $55, and energy ending at $20 instead of $25). These inaccuracies are minor and do not detract significantly from the overall response. To improve, ensure data figures are accurately reported and consider mentioning the exact values from the graph. The structure is clear, with a logical progression from overview to details, and the language is appropriate for the task. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with clear paragraphing and logical progression. The overview is effective, and the use of cohesive devices is natural. Minor improvements could be made in linking some sentences more smoothly, but overall the message is easy to follow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and varied, with good use of synonyms (e.g., 'accounted for', 'declined', 'increased significantly', 'recorded upward trends'). There is a slight lack of sophistication in some phrases, but overall the lexical range is adequate for a high band score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a wide range of grammatical structures used accurately. Punctuation and grammar are correct throughout. The sentences are varied and well-controlled, showing full flexibility.
