Task Response

The report addresses the task and provides an overview, but it contains several inaccuracies and inconsistencies. For example, the figures for utilities and entertainment are confused, and some data are misreported (e.g., Singapore's utilities are stated as 300, which is actually the entertainment figure). Additionally, there are spelling and grammatical errors (e.g., 'everage', 'coast', 'singapore' not capitalized) that affect clarity. To improve, ensure accurate data representation, correct spelling and capitalization, and organize the information more clearly, perhaps by grouping categories logically.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a logical structure with an introduction, an overview, and body paragraphs, but the flow is disrupted by unclear referencing and abrupt transitions. For example, the phrase 'Transport got the least expenditure' is awkward, and the shift from discussing food to transport to utilities is not clearly signaled. The final sentence about utilities is incomplete and confusing. To improve, use clear topic sentences for each paragraph and ensure each paragraph focuses on a single main idea. Additionally, use cohesive devices (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly') to link ideas smoothly and avoid abrupt jumps between categories.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but limited, with some repetition and imprecise word choices. For instance, 'coast' should be 'cost', and 'everage' should be 'average'. Phrases like 'the least was Bangkok' and 'Transport got the least expenditure' are not natural. To improve, use a wider range of precise vocabulary (e.g., 'expenditure', 'outlay', 'accounted for') and avoid informal or awkward phrasing. Also, ensure correct spelling of city names (e.g., 'Singapore', 'London', 'Berlin', 'Bangkok') and use appropriate terms like 'US dollars' instead of 'US $' in a formal report.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. Examples include 'in across four cities' (incorrect preposition), 'cost living' (should be 'cost of living'), 'singapore' (should be capitalized), and 'the least was Bangkok' (incorrect comparative structure). The final sentence is incomplete and lacks a main verb. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, correct use of articles, and sentence structure. Use a variety of complex sentences (e.g., 'While Singapore had the highest rent, Bangkok had the lowest') and ensure each sentence is complete and grammatically correct. Proofreading for punctuation and capitalization is also essential.
