- Such an ideal first paragraph!
- These (2) pie charts
The biggest portion of the online shopping sales in the year 2003 is for travel with 36% and in the year 2013 is for music and film with 33%. On the contrary, books have the lowest rank in the year 2003 with only 19%, and clothes in the year 2013 with 22%. The three percent-elevation of book sales between these 10 years demonstrates that people in New Zealand tend to read more books which is good news. The reduction in clothes percentage_ which was 16% in 2013_ shows that people are less materialistic.
- A part of a sentence as an ellipsis is marked with dashes or parentheses, and not underlines.
The pie chart also illustrates that people’s passion for music and cinema in New Zealand increased highly between these 10 years with a 12% gap. Moreover, fewer people tend to travel because the portion of travel in 2013 is 29%, which means it had a 7% reduction.
- You could use “a decade” instead of “10 years”.
- You could use “drop / decrease” instead of “reduction” as you’ve used it twice.
