Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by describing the main trends and comparing the data for the two years. It provides an overview and groups the information logically. However, there are some minor inaccuracies and omissions: the report states that 'other' category showed a 'significant rise' when the increase is small, and it fails to mention that 'food' was the highest in 1990. Additionally, there are minor spelling errors ('expinditure' in the task, 'entrainment' in the report) and the phrase 'in the category' is used redundantly. To improve, ensure accurate descriptions of trends and avoid overstating changes. Also, proofread for spelling and word choice.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear overall statement and paragraphs for increases and decreases. However, the flow could be improved by using more varied cohesive devices and ensuring that the grouping of categories is more clearly signaled. The paragraphing is adequate but could be more skillfully managed to separate different trends more distinctly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task, with words like 'significant', 'dramatic', 'substantial', and 'marked' to describe changes. However, there is some repetition (e.g., 'demonstrated' used multiple times) and a few imprecise terms (e.g., 'entrainment' instead of 'entertainment'). A wider range of synonyms and more precise vocabulary would enhance the report.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate with a good range of sentence structures. There are minor errors and awkward phrasings, such as 'the table below illustrates six different types of household in UK' (should be 'households in the UK') and 'entrainment' (typo). The report would benefit from more complex structures and careful proofreading to eliminate these small mistakes.
