Task Response

8
The report effectively summarizes the main features of the table, highlighting the overall trend that public spending exceeded private spending in all countries. It makes relevant comparisons, such as between Japan and Italy, and identifies France as the highest spender. The data is generally accurate, though there is a minor omission: the total spending for the USA is not explicitly mentioned. The report is well-structured and clear. To improve, ensure all key data points are included and avoid minor grammatical errors like 'the expenditure France'.

Coherence & Cohesion

8
The report is well-structured with clear paragraphing and logical flow. The overall message is easy to follow. Minor improvements could be made in linking sentences more smoothly, but overall cohesion is strong.

Lexical Resource

8
The vocabulary is varied and appropriate for the task, with good use of terms like 'expenditure', 'allocated', and 'channeled'. Some phrasing could be more natural, e.g., 'the expenditure France on health care' should be 'France's expenditure on health care'. Overall, lexical control is good.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

7
The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, but there are minor errors and awkward phrasings, such as 'the that of private spending' and 'the expenditure France on health care'. Punctuation is generally correct. More careful proofreading would improve accuracy.
