Feedback:

Thank you for writing this report. The candidate generally addresses the task, summarizing the main trends and making some relevant comparisons. There is a notable factual inaccuracy, which is underlined, i.e. two countries increased whereas the two other ones decreased in the given period. There are many spelling mistakes none of which affects the reader's understanding.
Transitional phrases (like "on the other hand") are used, but sometimes they do not effectively guide the reader through the progression of information.

The 6.5 sample upgraded to 7.0+

The line graph illustrates the proportion of Australian export trades with four nations (Japan, the US, China, and India) from 1990 to 2012. According to the data, it is clear that China’s percentage of exports dramatically increased over time, while Japan’s share declined steadily. The trends for the US and India were relatively stable with minor fluctuations.
In 1990, Japan was the largest importer of Australian goods, accounting for over 25% of exports. This percentage declined steadily over the years, reaching 20% in 2000 and dropping further to around 15% by 2012. In contrast, China started with a low percentage of under 5% until 1995. From 2000 onwards, China’s share rose sharply, reaching approximately 25% in 2010 and nearly 30% by 2012, making it the largest destination for Australian exports by the end of the period.
The US experienced a slight decline from just over 10% in 1990 to below 10% by 1995. It recovered briefly in 2000, surpassing 10% again, but gradually decreased to around 5% by 2012. India remained relatively steady, starting at around 3% in 1990 and maintaining a similar level until 2000. From 2000 to 2010, it showed a modest increase, peaking slightly above 5%, but then declined slightly in 2012.
In summary, while Japan’s and the US’s shares of Australian exports decreased over the period, China showed a substantial increase. India’s share remained low and stable, with a small rise in the later years.
