Hey Shehla,
+ You have some great vocabulary in this answer.
+ Lots of good data highlighting the trends.
+ Lots of good linking words.
+ Great to see that you have included all of the countries in your answer.
– You don’t need to write so much data in the overview. You can simply give the general trends. Have a look at this answer (which is a very similar graphic): https://englishprotips.com/lessons/task-1-how-to-get-7/
– Try to group the countries into paragraphs. You can group countries that show a similar trend. E.g. Body paragraph 1: countries that increase in growth, paragraph 2: countries that don’t increase in growth.
Thanks sir, it’s all because of your amazing tutorials.. I am over the moon that in second Practice attempt in Task 1, I could perform better. All the credit goes to your awesome videos and guidelines.

Very nice writing Shehla! I like your use of “respectively” and using colons and brackets to show the data. You are doing great!
Thanks an awful lot for devoting some of your precious time and having a look at my answer. Please, keep evaluating my work in future, if you have time.
Hi there, you can increase your score by organizing the data better than this. I would also suggest you to avoid the figures in overall and just mention the general trend. Keep it up. Thank you.
