Task Response

The report generally addresses the requirements of the task, but there are some inaccuracies and omissions. The overview is acceptable, but the body paragraphs contain some incorrect data and could be more clearly organized. To improve, ensure data accuracy and focus on making relevant comparisons between the countries.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an adequate attempt to organize the information, but there are instances where the flow could be improved. The overall structure is present, but the transitions between ideas and paragraphs could be smoother to enhance readability. Consider using more varied cohesive devices to link ideas within and between paragraphs. For example, in the second paragraph, the contrast between Brazil/Peru and Colombia could be highlighted more effectively. In the third paragraph, the phrase "equal proportion of income spent on education, food and drink and entertainment which was 20% respectively" is a bit awkward and could be rephrased for clarity. The final paragraph contains some inaccuracies and unclear statements that disrupt the flow.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a reasonable range of vocabulary, but there's room for improvement in terms of precision and sophistication. Some phrases are a bit repetitive or could be expressed more concisely. For example, "expended on" is used frequently and could be varied with synonyms like "spent on" or "allocated to." Additionally, consider using more specific vocabulary related to financial expenditure and proportions to enhance the impact of your descriptions. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a fair range of grammatical structures, but there are noticeable errors that affect clarity. Subject-verb agreement errors are present (e.g., "Brazil and Peru countries expenditure were highest"). There are also issues with preposition usage and sentence structure. For example, "In Colombia, percentage of monthly income expenditure on housing reached its peak to 39%" is grammatically incorrect and unclear. Pay closer attention to sentence construction, verb tenses, and the correct use of prepositions to improve grammatical accuracy.
