The table below illustrates the percentages of tax received of GDP in five countries in 4-year period from 1975 to 2005.

Overall, the amount of tax collected in Sweden counted the highest in 2005, following by Japan and the equal three countries USA, Korea and Turkey. The percentage of received tax in Korea counted the smallest among the five countrues.

While the tax amount rose considerably for 12% in Korea, USA recorded a slightly increase in 2% from the year 1975 to 1985 and in the year 2005 this figure was up to 27,4%. Meanwhile, from the year 1975 to 1985 there was only a rise in 1% in Japan but from then to 2005 this figure rose up to 32,1%.

In addition, the proportion of tax recorded in Sweden increased sharply to 20% and remained the highest figure according to the other 4 countries. However, unstable figure was seen in Turkey, in which the year 1985 recorded a slight decline in 1,4% and continously rose to 27.4% in 2005.

Task Response

The report addresses the task but struggles with accuracy in data interpretation and mathematical comparisons. For example, stating that Sweden's tax increased 'to 20%' is a significant inaccuracy when the data shows it was already much higher and increased by a large margin. Additionally, some comparisons are confusing, such as grouping three countries as 'equal' when their values differ. To improve, focus on accurately describing trends (e.g., 'increased by X%' vs 'increased to X%') and ensure that the overview clearly highlights the most significant trends without making incorrect mathematical claims. Work on the precision of your comparative language to ensure the relationships between the data points are clear to the reader.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a basic structure, but the progression of ideas is sometimes difficult to follow due to awkward phrasing. While there is an attempt to use cohesive devices (e.g., 'Overall', 'While', 'In addition'), they are not always used effectively to link ideas logically. To improve, focus on using transition words that clearly show relationships between data points (e.g., 'In contrast', 'Similarly', 'Conversely') and ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is somewhat limited and repetitive. There are several instances of incorrect word choices and collocations, such as 'counted the highest' instead of 'was the highest' or 'recorded the highest'. Additionally, there are spelling errors (e.g., 'countrues') and issues with word forms (e.g., 'a slightly increase' instead of 'a slight increase'). Aim to use a wider variety of synonyms for 'increase' and 'decrease' and ensure that adjectives and nouns are used in their correct forms. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and occasionally impede communication. There are issues with preposition usage (e.g., 'percentages of tax received of GDP'), article usage, and sentence structure. The use of commas in decimals (e.g., '27,4%') is common in some regions but in English academic writing, a period is required (e.g., '27.4%'). Work on mastering complex sentence structures and ensure that subject-verb agreement and tense consistency are maintained throughout the report.
