The graph depicts the average household spending in Vietnam over the period between 1999 and 2019.

Overall, the percentage of each group of expenditures are nearly the same. In general, all the expenditures in Japan had almost equal shares.

Even though, throughout the years, in Japan other goods and services were the category with the largest expense with 29%, meanwhile in Malaysia the option housing was more spending with 34%. However, this sector was not that popular amoung Japanese individuals, so their income for housing made up 21%. Citizens of Vietnam spent a considerable amount of money on food. According to the chart, in both countries this expense was the second largest category.

Across both countries the health care spending group plateaued and was the one with the lowest expenses. In Japan, health care accounted for 6%, while in Malaysia the percentage was even lower (3%). Moreover, the sphere transport reached 20% in Japan, but in Malaysia this percentage changed sizeable and was reduced by half.

Task Response

The report struggles significantly with task achievement due to a major inconsistency in the subject matter. While the task and the student's introduction refer to Vietnam, the body paragraphs and the visual description provided refer to Japan and Malaysia. This creates a fundamental disconnect in the report's logic. Additionally, the overview is somewhat contradictory, stating that expenditures are 'nearly the same' while simultaneously noting significant differences between the two countries. To improve, ensure that the countries mentioned in the report align strictly with the data provided, and focus on creating a clear, cohesive overview that highlights the most significant trends or differences rather than making generalized statements.

Coherence & Cohesion

The organization of ideas is somewhat inconsistent. While there is an attempt to use cohesive devices (e.g., 'Overall', 'Even though', 'Moreover'), some are used incorrectly, which disrupts the flow. For instance, starting a sentence with 'Even though' followed by a comma is grammatically incorrect and creates a fragment. Additionally, the transition between discussing Japan/Malaysia and then suddenly mentioning 'Citizens of Vietnam' creates confusion for the reader. To improve, ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic and that cohesive devices are used to logically link sentences rather than just as introductory fillers.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is somewhat limited and occasionally used inaccurately. Phrases like 'the option housing was more spending' and 'the sphere transport' are unnatural in English. There are also spelling errors such as 'amoung'. While you attempt to use varied terms like 'expenditures' and 'accounted for', the word choices often lack the precision required for an academic report. Aim to use more standard collocations, such as 'expenditure on housing' or 'the transport sector', and ensure that comparative adjectives are used correctly (e.g., 'significantly lower' instead of 'changed sizeable').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical issues that impact the clarity of the report. There are errors in subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'the percentage... are') and issues with sentence structure (e.g., the 'Even though' fragment mentioned previously). The use of 'was reduced by half' is a complex structure, but the surrounding phrasing is often awkward. To improve, focus on mastering complex sentence structures and ensuring that your subject and verb always agree in number. Practice using subordinating conjunctions correctly to avoid sentence fragments.
