Candidate’s Response:

The three sources of fumed gases polluting the air in the UK in the period of 1990 to 2005 is compared in the given line chart.

Overall , it is abundantly clear that during the 15 years , total air pollutants were decreased . While the majority of greenhouse gases were originated from industry in the entire survey , households were minor responsible for producing these contaminants.

If we look at the total air pollutants , we can see that in 1990 seven million tonnes of pollutants were emitted into the air . Although this amount was remained almost stable from 1990 to 2002 , the figure reached to about the half of the initial amount (to about 3.5 million tonnes) . The industry was the main sector which produced the main fumed gases , with almost 5.5 million tonnes in 1990 . From 1993 to 1996 , the number significantly decreased to about three million tonnes , and then countinued to dip slowly to the final two million tonnes.

Looking at the domestic sectors , we observe that the figure fluctuated between just below one and just above zero . However , in the whole study , the gases , releasing from transport sectors , was remained unchanged at account one million tonnes .

Feedback:

Thank you indeed for writing this report. The response requires attention to subject-verb agreement, word choice, sentence structure, and grammatical accuracy. Making these adjustments will enhance the clarity and precision of the report. For instance, Original: "However, in the whole study, the gases, releasing from transport sectors, was remained unchanged..."
Suggested: "However, throughout the entire study, the gases released from the transport sectors remained unchanged..."
or
Original: "The three sources of fumed gases polluting the air in the UK in the period of 1990 to 2005 is compared..."
Suggested: "The three sources of gases polluting the air in the UK from 1990 to 2005 are compared..." The subject "three sources" is plural, so the verb should also be plural ("are compared").

Also, the verbs "originate" and "remain" are intransitive in their sentences.

The 6.5 sample upgraded to 7.0+

The line graph below shows different sources of air pollutants in the UK between 1990 and 2005. Among the three categories drawn, industry-related pollution experienced a marked decline.

The graph shows that the total amount of air pollutants emitted in the UK decreased significantly over the 15-year period, from 7 million tonnes in 1990 to just above 3 million tonnes in 2005. This decrease was largely driven by a reduction in emissions from the industrial sector, which fell from roughly 5.5 million tonnes in 1990 to 2 million tonnes in 2005. The industrial sector was the largest source of air pollution in the UK in 1990, accounting for about 75% of total emissions. However, its share of emissions decreased significantly over the following 15 years.

Emissions from the transport sector remained relatively constant throughout the period, while emissions from households decreased slightly. The transport sector was the second-largest source of air pollution in the UK in 1990, accounting for approximately 15 percent of total emissions. Its share of emissions remained relatively constant throughout the period. Households were the smallest source of air pollution in the UK in 1990, accounting for slightly over 10% of total emissions. However, their share of emissions increased slightly over the following 15 years.

The line graph shows that the UK made significant progress in reducing air pollution from 1990 to 2005. This was largely due to reductions in emissions from the industrial sector. However, emissions from the transport sector and households remained relatively untouched.
