You need to improve on the structure. Follow this approach;
1. Introduce the graph (paraphrase the title of the graph, make sure you include the time frame if there's one)
2. Give an overview( state the main trend/ trends in the graph. Don't give detail such as data here)
3. Give the detail (Give details with reference to the data. Organize body paragraphs by grouping data together where there are patterns. Easiest way to do this is by identifying any similarities and differences)

Hi, Puman.
We often forget some simple things. If I am not wrong "paragraphing" is the one component which is included in writing descriptor to get a good score. Related with this, it is better if you separated your essay with different paragraph. :D

Could you provide more specific suggestions for this essay? I am in a state of confusion.
For example, "Given are the pie charts illustrating the inhabitants of Yemen and Italy between 2000 and 2050 in terms of three age groups " this sentence dose not suitable for IELTS Task 1, right?

The pie charts illustrate the percentage of people in Yemen and Italy between 2000 and 2050 in terms of three age groups.

The pie charts illustrate the percentage of people in Yemen and Italy between 2000 and 2050 PRESENTING three age groups.

The pie charts compare the populations of different age groups of Yemen and Italy in 2000 and 2050 in percentage terms.


You could separate this part from your introduction to make an overview paragraph.


the percentage/proportion of people

... Well this sentence is quite appropriate for your introductory para for this task. Only it has a few grammar issues and also you can improve its presentation;

The pie charts illustrate the information on three different age groups in Yemen and Italy for the year 2000 and projections for 2050.
Follow dumi's suggested structure. You need to have an intro (the above sentence), Overview and Details separately.

Thanks your suggestion.
