Ielts writing task 1 - bar chart

Question

My answer: The bar chart compares the percentage of families owned their house and rented their accommodation in England and Wales from 1918 to 2011.Between 1918 and 2011, it is clear that the people in England and Wales tended to own their house rather than rent accommodation. Looking at the chart, during this period of time, the number of owned houses rose gradually from roughly a quarter to over 60%, whereas these figure of households in rented accommodation fell moderately, only a half of the number in 2011.In 1918, the percentage of households in owned accommodation, with under a quarter, was almost four times lower than ones in rented accommodation, with almost 80%. By contrast, this percentage was twice higher than the other.However, from 2001 to 2011, while the number of house owners decreased slightly, the number of renters increased steadily. Interestingly, fifty percent of families lived in both their own house and rented accommodation in 1971.

The bar chart compares the percentage of families owned their house (ungrammatical) and (missing words) rented their accommodation in England and Wales from 1918 to 2011.

Between 1918 and 2011, ~~it is clear that~~ ("It is clear" is your opinion. Only describe the chart without any opinions or conclusions.) the people in England and Wales tended to own their house rather than rent accommodation. (incorrect. Look at the chart carefully.) ~~Looking at the chart,~~ During this period of time, the number of owned houses (The chart does not show numbers of houses. ) rose gradually from roughly a quarter to over 60%, whereas these figure (wrong usage) of households in rented accommodation fell moderately, only a half of the number in 2011. (Half of what? The average between 1918 and 2011?)

In 1918, the percentage of households in owned accommodation, with under a quarter (A quarter of a percent?), was almost four times lower than ones in rented accommodation, with almost 80%. By contrast, this percentage was twice higher (wrong usage. You said four times, and not you say two times. This is contradictory.) than the other.

However, from 2001 to 2011, while the number of house owners (The chart does not show how many home owners or renters there were. That number might be 100 million, for example.) decreased slightly, the number of renters increased steadily. Interestingly, fifty percent of families lived in both their own house and rented accommodation (Did families live in two different places at the same time? ) in 1971.

The chart illustrates the percentage of people who live in their own or rented houses in England and Wales from 1918 to 2011.

Overall, a larger percentage of people lived in rented houses before 1971 however, over the years these figures gradually declined and an increase in housing ownership can be seen.

In 1918 the percentage of people living in rented accommodation was the highest at around 80% while in 2001 only 30% of people lived in rented houses being the lowest. A sharp decline is seen in the graph till the year 2001 but only a rise of 5% in the next 10 years.

In 2001, around 60% of people had their own house which is three times higher than those living in 1918. A gradual increase in the graph can be seen over the years. Further, in the year 1971, an equal number of people lived in rented and owned houses.
