Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting the main features of the data and making relevant comparisons. It correctly identifies the overall trend that food, drinks, and tobacco was the highest spending category in all countries, and highlights Turkey's highest percentage and Ireland's lowest in leisure and education. However, there are some minor omissions and inaccuracies: the report does not mention Finland's leisure and education figure (3.20%), and it omits Portugal's leisure and education percentage (2.50%). Additionally, there are a few typographical errors (e.g., 'tobbacco', 'a nd') and minor grammatical issues. To improve, ensure all data points are covered and proofread for spelling and punctuation.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear referencing (e.g., 'which was also the nadir proportion than all other percentages'). The paragraphing is logical, but the second body paragraph mixes data from multiple countries without clear grouping, making it harder to follow. To improve, use clearer topic sentences and ensure each paragraph focuses on a specific comparison or group of countries.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary (e.g., 'contributed', 'accounted for', 'expenditure'), but there are instances of imprecise or informal word choices (e.g., 'nadir proportion', 'house accessories' instead of 'home accessories'). The range of vocabulary is limited, and some phrases are repetitive. To improve, use a wider variety of synonyms and more precise terms (e.g., 'the highest proportion', 'the lowest figure', 'spending on').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. Examples include 'tobbacco' (spelling), 'a nd' (typo), 'and and' (repetition), and incorrect use of articles and prepositions (e.g., 'spent 28.9% household expenditure' should be 'spent 28.9% on household expenditure'). The range of sentence structures is limited, with many sentences following a similar pattern. To improve, proofread carefully and vary sentence structures, using more complex forms such as relative clauses and passive constructions where appropriate.
