Well, first of all you need to attend to the structure of this task.

sist, Look at the year "2000".

For this task, it is better to have an OVERVIEW rather than a CONCLUSION because this task is not a normal essay writing task, but a task that aims at assessing your report writing skills.

A conclusion is your final judgement or opinion. For the task 2 essay you need to have that because it is based on an argument or issue. However, Task 1 asks expects a report of your observations without analysis or opinions. On the other hand, an "overview" is a simple description of the main points. It is a summary of the information shown in the graph or chart.

Developed Countries, Latin America/Caribbean, East Asia/Oceania which have percentage each regions as big as 1 %, 10 %, and 8 %.
Sub-Saharan Africa, Arab States, South Asia have percentage consist of 31 %, 29 %, and 34 %.
Latin America/Caribbean, East Asia/Oceania with rates approximately 2 %, 12 %, and 20 %.
Sub-Saharan Africa, Arab States, South Asia have percentage namely 48 %, 52 %, and 56 %.

Those sentences are called 'shopping list', by listing obvious figures one after another. The best way is to compare and contrast the key trends. This shows more professional writing than does the previous style.


A fact that is interesting, I don't think this area can be categorized :(

i hope you explain more in this paragraph
