Task Response

The report addresses the task and provides some relevant information, but it includes some inaccuracies and generalizations. The organization is somewhat clear, but the language could be more precise and varied. To improve, focus on providing more specific details and comparisons, and ensure accuracy in representing the data. Also, work on expanding your vocabulary and using more complex sentence structures. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an adequate attempt to organize the information, but the flow could be improved. The introduction and overall statement are present, but the paragraphing and connection between ideas are somewhat disjointed. For instance, the transition between the overall statement and the detailed analysis of each category could be smoother. Consider using more cohesive devices to link sentences and paragraphs, and ensure each paragraph focuses on a clear aspect of the data.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally appropriate, but there's room for improvement in terms of variety and precision. Some phrases are a bit awkward ('similarily with each other,' 'on the verge of extinction,' 'stayed stability'). Try to use more sophisticated vocabulary to describe trends and comparisons, and ensure that your word choices are accurate and natural. For example, instead of 'bigger proportions,' you could use 'higher percentages' or 'larger expenditures.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. There are issues with verb tense ('showed' instead of 'show'), subject-verb agreement ('Turkey had the biggest proportion'), and article usage ('the leisure and education'). Sentence structure is also somewhat basic, limiting the complexity of the analysis. Focus on improving your grammatical accuracy and using a wider range of sentence structures to express your ideas more effectively. Proofreading carefully for errors is essential.
