Hi,

Your description is generally ok and fills the requirements of the task, but you should avoid using 'time' phrases as there is no time frame in this graph.

For example you say:

"Overall, it can be noticed that in both countries science qualifications hold (held) by people increased".

So your overview is in fact incorrect because nothing increased.

Also:

"A significant decrease is evident comparing school leaving exams..."

"On the other hand, the number of Master's Degree gotten (awarded, not 'gotten') are steadily at..."

Stick with compare and contrast language if there is no time frame.

But apart from that you are approaching your analysis in the right way - introducing the graph, providing an overview, and describing the main trends whilst ensuring you make comparisons and contrasts.

The bar chart compares the proportions of the people of Singapore and Malaysia who hold qualification in science at various levels of education.

It seems from this bar diagram that both countries are roughly similar in terms of the number of their citizens having qualification in science at different academic levels except the number of bachelors in science degree who are more in Singapore than Malaysia.

In both countries, the largest percentage of people are those who do not have any qualification in sciences with almost similar proportion in Singapore and Malaysia at 60% and about 65% respectively. Similar situation exists for science education up to school level in both countries with Malaysia's having five percent more people in this group than Singapore (30%).

In contrast to this, Singapore has twenty percent of its people holding bachelor degree in science, which is twice of the corresponding proportion of Malaysia. Both countries have only five percent with master's degree in science.

It can be inferred from this bar chart that while Malaysian seems to have slight margin in terms of science education at school level, Singapore has more graduates in science than Malaysia.

A very poor performance. the chart is about comparison and not about changes.

Overview was wrong. Did not mention any trend, or difference.
poor language was used as well. No coherence with in sentences.

Would get marks around 4/5.
