Task Response

The report addresses the task, summarizing the main features of the pie charts and making comparisons. There are some inaccuracies in the data cited (e.g., '60 percent' instead of '67 percent' for home owners in 1991). The report would benefit from a more accurate representation of the data and a clearer overall structure. Also, the opening sentence mentions 'bar graphs' when the visual is pie charts.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The overview paragraph provides a clear summary of the main trends. Transitions between sentences and paragraphs are mostly smooth. However, consider using more varied cohesive devices to further enhance the flow of the report. For example, you could use synonyms or paraphrasing to avoid repetition.

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary related to the topic of housing. The use of terms like 'vast majority,' 'remarkably,' and 'constant' is appropriate. To further improve, try to incorporate more sophisticated vocabulary and avoid overly simplistic phrasing. For example, instead of 'went up,' you could use 'increased' or 'rose.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good command of grammar with only minor errors. The sentence structures are generally accurate and varied. Pay closer attention to subject-verb agreement and article usage. For example, 'There is indicated 4 types of houses' could be improved to 'There are four types of houses indicated.' Also, ensure correct spelling ('United Kingdem' should be 'United Kingdom').
