Task Response

The report adequately covers the main features of the charts, including the overall trend and specific data for each category. It correctly identifies housing as the largest category and notes the stability of healthcare and entertainment. However, there are a few minor inaccuracies: the report mentions '4 various categories' while there are five, and it refers to 'bar charts' instead of 'pie charts'. Additionally, some phrasing is slightly awkward (e.g., 'the amount of household that spent mostly on housing has decreased marginally'). To improve, ensure accurate terminology and category counts, and refine sentence structures for clarity.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with clear paragraphs for overview and details. However, the introduction and conclusion are somewhat repetitive, and the final sentence incorrectly refers to 'bar charts' instead of 'pie charts'. Cohesion is generally good, but some transitions could be smoother.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not highly varied. Some phrases are awkward, such as 'the consumptions of the households' and 'the amount of household that spent mostly on housing'. More precise and natural phrasing would improve the lexical resource.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors and awkward constructions, such as 'the housing accounted' (should be 'housing accounted'), 'has decreased marginally' (tense inconsistency), and 'have raised' (should be 'have risen'). Punctuation issues are also present, like the comma after 'Even though'. A wider range of structures with better accuracy is needed.
