The chart below shows the GDP growth per year for three countries between 2007 and 2010.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The diagram illustrates GDP annual growth changes for Tunisia, Japan and Ecuador from 2007 to 2010. At a glance, data are expressed in percentage growth and range from a minimum of roughly 1% to a maximum of 6.5%.
First of all, it is clear that each country had its own trend, quite different from the other ones. In detail, Tunisia GDP growth decreased from 6.3% in 2007 to 3% in 2010, after a steady loss of almost 1.4% during the first three years considered. At opposite, Japan showed a steady increase in GDP growth tendency, passing from 2% in 2007 to 6.5% in 2010, with a quite constant growth of 1.5 points per year.
Despite the quite linear trends of Tunisia and Japan, Ecuador shows a volatile tendency throughout the whole period. In fact, after a growth of 3% in 2007 the value went up the following year of 1.8 points before dropping to 1.3% in 2009. Anyway, Ecuador value almost doubled the following year, returning over 2% threshold.

My fault. Starting on
My fault. Starting on tomorrow, I'm reducing the use of percentages.
Until now, I had never conceived the exercise as focused on the student ability to help a reader imaging diagram main features without viewing it. It seems to me a very helpful hint.
Starting on tomorrow I'm trying to write essays in this way (perhaps at the beginning I'll take more than 20 minutes, but with some prectice I will match the deadline)
Thanks
At the beginning, read the
At the beginning, read the model answers, and then follow and write by their writing styles. Pay attention how they use words and sentences.
Slowly you can get rid of the model answers and write as wonderful as model answers.
flaws:
We didn't get a whole picture after reading the essay. Maybe because you put new percentages.
