Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing an overview and highlighting key trends. It correctly identifies housing as the largest category and notes its increase, as well as the decreases in food and transport. However, there are some minor inaccuracies and awkward phrasings (e.g., 'pie chars', 'spent into', 'notabke', 'were fluctuated') that slightly detract from clarity. The report could be improved by using more precise language and ensuring grammatical accuracy. Overall, the main features are covered and comparisons are made, but there is room for refinement in expression. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and body paragraphs. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references (e.g., 'whilst all other sources of a household expenditure lost its share except leisure and entertainment' and 'Of the two smallest share, leisure and entertainment increased from 14% to 18% in 2020 made up the fourth largest in both years'). The use of cohesive devices is somewhat mechanical, and some sentences are not well connected. To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear central idea and use a range of linking words and referencing to create a smoother flow.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary for describing data (e.g., 'significant contributor', 'increased its dominance', 'saw a notable decrease'). However, there are several lexical errors and awkward collocations (e.g., 'pie chars' instead of 'pie charts', 'spent into' instead of 'spent by', 'notabke' instead of 'notable', 'fluctuated' used incorrectly, and 'made up the fourth largest' is awkward). To improve, expand your range of vocabulary for describing trends and proportions, and ensure correct word forms and collocations are used. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report attempts to use a variety of sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Examples include: 'how average monthly income was spent into a household' (incorrect preposition), 'whilst all other sources of a household expenditure lost its share' (subject-verb agreement and singular/plural mismatch), 'whilst housing increased its share to almost 38%. Food and transport saw a notabke decrease' (sentence fragment), and 'The remaining two categories were fluctuated' (incorrect passive voice). To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, correct use of prepositions, and sentence structure. Also, proofread to avoid spelling errors.
