Task Response

The report effectively summarizes the main features and makes relevant comparisons. It correctly identifies France as having the highest total spending and Japan the lowest, and notes that private spending is lower than public in all countries. The data is generally accurate, though there is a minor error: Italy's total is 7.7%, not 7.2% as implied. The report could be improved by including a clearer overview of the range of values and perhaps a concluding sentence. Overall, it is well-structured and meets the task requirements.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with clear paragraphing. However, the flow could be improved by using more cohesive devices to link ideas smoothly. For instance, the transition between the overview and the detailed analysis could be smoother. Additionally, some sentences feel slightly disjointed, such as the comparison between Japan and Italy. Consider using linking words like 'in contrast' or 'similarly' more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly appropriate, with some good choices like 'expended', 'proportion', and 'surpassed'. However, there is room for more variety and sophistication. For example, 'the opposite is true for Japan' could be rephrased as 'whereas Japan has the lowest total expenditure'. Also, 'percentage points' is correctly used, but ensure consistent terminology (e.g., 'percentage' vs 'percent').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is generally accurate, but there are a few errors and awkward phrasings. For instance, 'the expenditure of the private sector is always lower than the public's' should be 'than that of the public sector'. Also, 'by the same percentage' is unclear; it should be 'by the same margin' or 'by 0.5 percentage points'. The sentence 'France has 8.6% of public spending' could be rephrased for clarity. Overall, a good range of structures is used, but minor improvements would enhance accuracy.
