task response
It is critical to adhere strictly to the data provided in the task; avoid making unsupported assumptions or suggestions that require external data or further research, such as birth rates or reasons behind the data.
coherence and cohesion
Ensure the essay includes an introduction summarizing what the graph shows, a body that describes the details of the data, and a conclusion that summarizes the main trends or findings.
task response
Improve accuracy by avoiding numerical inaccuracies - the task does not mention averages up to 50%, and ensuring all data comparisons are explicitly tied to the figures given in the table.
coherence and cohesion
Use a wider range of linking words and cohesive devices to better organize the essay and make the relationship between ideas clearer.
task response
Provide specific examples and comparisons directly from the data. For instance, describe the actual percentages in certain years and how they change over time.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
