Nice answer Glin
+ Good overview. However, when you have a trend over time it is better to give a general description of how the trends have changed before you focus on the largest/smallest categories.
+ Good structure. However, you can improve this by starting your paragraph with a topic sentence, which clearly shows the examiner what they will find. For example, “Five countries experienced an increase in their population figures”
– Your answer would benefit from having more linking words. You use “similarly” however there are other opportunities to use linking words such as “finally”, “Furthermore”, “By contrast”
– Try to avoid sentences that simply report a lot of data and don’t give much analysis, for example, “Countries such as Greece, Italy, and the United Kingdom had a lower average income per person from 23000 USD, 25000 USD and 28000 USD to 20000 USD, 22000 USD and 27000 USD respectively.”
– You don’t need to say “The difference in the income is also provided in percentage.” If you are short on time, don’t bother with this sentence.
