Septia, the overview for our opening statement is incomplete. Make sure to present the complete information in that part with regards to the countries involved in the discussion. You must include that as part of the summary. In this instance, I was left wondering as to what the other 3 countries in the table were because, while you mentioned 5 countries in total, you only mentioned simplified information for 2 countries from the list. Your second paragraph should have at least 3 sentences in it. Since it only as 2 sentences in it, it would appear that the information is lacking. Make sure to always fully develop your reports by not cutting information out when it is necessary to keep the information in or when it can help to expand the paragraph to the correct number of sentences. Remember that the paragraph format counts towards your final score as well.

Hi Asep, BE CAREFUL of using sentence. Because if you say over the time, usually the time signals is comparing between one time and others. But, in this case, there is only one year and it compare between countries only, not between many time or years.
