The bar chart shows the percentage of females from five different countries who went for higher education after finishing secondary school. The selected countries are the UK, the USA, Canada, Japan and Germany, and ~~the~~ data for the years 1970 and 2005 are given.

(The "overall observations" paragraph is better as the second paragra

(The "overall observations" paragraph is better as the second paragraph.)

Overall, almost all countries experienced a growth in the percentage of women who went to college after high school except Canada which had no change ~~in this matter~~.

Canada had the largest percentage with 60% in both two years, while Japan ranked lowest ~~had the 5^th rank~~ among the five countries in both 1970 (20%) and 2005 (40%). The USA ranked third in both of the years with 40% and about 58% for the years 1970 and 2005 respectively.

The percentage of women who continue studying for higher education increased in all countries between 1970 and 2005 except Canada which this proportion remained constant for these two years. (This is repetitive. Avoid repetition) ~~Among countries with an increasing~~ trend (wrong word) ~~in the mentioned percentage~~, Japan had the maximum increase (by 100%) and Germany had the minimum rise in this context with just a 10% increase (50% in 1970 to 55% in 2005).

Avoid repetition by reporting other comparisons and details:

e.g.

The rank order in 1970 was Canada, Germany, USA, the UK and Japan, with a significant difference of 40% between the lowest and highest ranking countries. Thirty-five years later, in 2005, the ordering was quite different. Canada and the UK were tied for the highest at 60%, followed by the US, Germany and Japan. The difference between the lowest and highest was half that of 1970 (20%) and the top four fell within a very narrow range, between 55 and 60%. Japan was the outlier in both years with a gap of about 20% less than the UK in 1970 and 15% less than Germany in 2005..

~~Overall, almost all countries experienced a growth in the percentage of women who went to college after high school except Canada which had no change in this matter.~~
