Question

Please take time to check my task 1. Thank you.

The line graph displays the percentage of GDP in different sectors including health, education and transportation over the first 20 years in 21st century.

Overall, there was an upward trend in the proportion of GDP in health and transportation area, whereas that of GDP in education experienced a steady decrease throughout the period shown.

In 2000, health and transportation shared the same proportion at 3%. During the next 10 years, the former rose substantially by 2%. In contrast, the latter reached a peak of 4% after it fell to its lowest level at 2%. In subsequent years, while the percentage of GDP in health is expected to sharply climb to the highest level at 8% by 2020, it is predicted that the proportion of GDP in transportation will decline gradually to roughly 3.5% in the same year.

In the first year, the most significant percentage of GDP is education sector at 5%. In 2005, there was a slight rise by 1%, which was followed by a remarkable fall until 2015 and the figure is anticipated to continue to decrease to 4% by 2020.

The line graph displays the percentage of contribution to GDP in three different sectors -- ~~including~~ health, education and transportation -- over the first 20 years in the 21st century.

(Overall, the total of these three sectors represented from 11 to 15% of the country's GDP, but the individual percentage contributions varied by year. The transportation sector ranged between 2 and 6%, health between 3 and 8%, and education between 4 and 6%. )

Overall, there was an upward trend in the proportion of GDP in health and transportation ~~area~~, (incorrect. Only the health sector had an upward trend. There was no consistent trend for transportation, and the trend for education was upward between 2000 and 2005, and then downward.) that of GDP in education experienced a steady decrease throughout the period shown. (Incorrect.)

In 2000, health and transportation shared the same proportion at 3%. During the next 10 years, the former rose ~~substantially~~ by 2%. In contrast, the latter reached a peak of 4% after it fell to its lowest level at 2%. In subsequent years, while the percentage of GDP in health is expected to sharply climb to the highest level at 8% by 2020, it is predicted that the proportion of GDP in transportation will decline gradually to roughly 3.5% ~~in the same year~~.

In the first year, the most significant percentage of these three sectors ~~GDP~~ is the education sector at 5%. In 2005, there was a slight rise by 1%, which was followed by a remarkable fall until 2015 and ~~the figure~~ it is anticipated to continue to decrease to 4% by 2020.

Suggestion:

The health sector has a linear trend upwards over the period, starting at 3%, and increasing at a rate of about 0.2% per year between 2000 and 2015. This rate is expected to go up to 0.4% per year between 2015 and 2020, with an ending value forecast to be 8%.

The transportation sector had no consistent trend, decreasing 1% in the first 5 years, increasing 2% in the next 5 years, and entering a period of slow decline for the last 10 years. It is predicted to have an ending value of 3.5%, 0.5% higher than its starting value.

The line for the education sector can be divided into two periods, 2000-2005 with an upward trend from 5% to a peak value at 6% followed by a downward trend predicted to extend to 2020, ending at 4%.
