Question

Topic:
The chart below shows information about changes in average house prices in five different cities between 1990 and 2002 compared with the average house prices in 1989.

My task 1:

The bar chart illustrates the figure for the average house prices in five cities, namely New York, Madrid, Tokyo, Frankfurt and London from 1990 to 2002, a period 12 years compared with 1989.

Overall, between 1990 and 2002, the average house prices in five cities had significant increase. In comparation with the house prices from 1990 to 1995, the percentage between 1996 and 2002 was higher.

Over the 5 years after 1989, the cost of house in Frankfurt (Germany) was the highest house prices, which stood at approximately 3%, followed by Madrid, New York, Tokyo and London. The figure for Tokyo (Japan) and London (UK) were the lowest house prices in five cities, at about -7%.

From 1996 to 2002 average, the cost of house in Tokyo, New York, Mardrid and London increased by around 2%, 10%, 3%, 19% respectively, while Frankfurt showed a downward trend, which decreased slightly by 1%.

The bar chart illustrates the figure (A figure is a diagram, table or chart inserted into the text of a technical article. What "figure" are you talking about? "Illustrate the figure" might mean to apply some coloring or annotation to a diagram. It makes no sense as you have used it. ) for the average house prices (Incorrect. See explanation below.) in five cities, namely New York, Madrid, Tokyo, Frankfurt and London from 1990 to 2002, a period (wrong. There are two different periods on the chart.) 12 years compared with 1989.

Model paragraph #1:

The bar chart gives the percent changes in house prices in different cities averaged over two time periods, 1990-1995 and 1996-2002, as compared to the 1989 prices. There are five cities shown, namely New York, Madrid, Tokyo, Frankfurt and London.

Overall, between 1990 and 2002, the average house prices in these five cities had significant increases. (What about Tokyo?) In comparation with the house prices from 1990 to 1995, the percentage between 1996 and 2002 was higher. (This is not a good description. There are no house prices from 1990-1995. The plot shows the relative changes from 1989.)

Over the 5 years after 1989, the cost of house in Frankfurt (Germany) was the highest house prices,

(Incorrect. The chart does not show which city had the highest priced houses.

For example, suppose a house in London cost $500,000 in 1989. The chart shows that the average price in 1990-1995 was 7% less, or $465,000.

Frankfurt is not an expensive city to live in compared to London, so suppose an equivalent house in Frankfort cost, on average, $200,000 in 1989. The average price in 1990-1995 was 3% higher, or $206,000. That is a lower house price than in London. You cannot say that the prices in Frankfurt are the highest!)

which stood at approximately 3%, (Wrong expression. This is not good for percentage changes.) followed by Madrid, New York, Tokyo and London. The figure (wrong word) for Tokyo (Japan) and London (UK) were the lowest house prices in five cities, (incorrect) at about -7%.

From 1996 to 2002 ~~average~~, the average cost of house in Tokyo, New York, Mardrid and London increased by around 2%, 10%, 3%, 19% respectively, while it had decreased in Frankfurt ~~showed a downward trend~~, ~~which decreased slightl~~y by 1%.
(You cannot see trends on this bar chart. There are not enough data points.)
