Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting the main features of the table and making relevant comparisons. It clearly identifies the sectors that received increased funding (visual arts, music, museums and galleries) and those that experienced decreases (theatre and performing arts, literature). The overall trend is summarized appropriately. However, there are a few minor inaccuracies and omissions: the exact figure for literature in 2020 is stated as '75%' instead of '75.5 million pounds', and the percentage change for music is mentioned but not the exact 2020 figure (510.2 million). Additionally, the phrase 'illustrates about' is slightly awkward. To improve, ensure precise data is reported and refine language for clarity.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and an overall summary. However, there are some minor lapses in cohesion, such as the abrupt transition between the first and second body paragraphs, and the use of 'Moving further' which is slightly informal. The paragraphing is logical, but the flow could be improved by using more varied linking devices and ensuring smoother connections between ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and mostly accurate, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'registered most growth', 'witnessed a decrease'). However, there are instances of awkward phrasing and word choice, such as 'illustrates about funds given by public' and 'it was climbed by', which reduce the naturalness and sophistication. A wider range of precise vocabulary and more natural collocations would enhance the lexical resource.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, but there are several errors that affect clarity and accuracy. For example, 'illustrates about' is incorrect, 'it was increased' should be 'it increased', and 'it was climbed' should be 'it climbed'. Additionally, there are punctuation issues, such as missing commas and incorrect use of 'Moving further ,'. These errors, while not impeding overall understanding, indicate a need for greater grammatical control and accuracy.
