You have a tendency to use run-on sentences in your essay. You will score better if you learn to separate your sentence topics instead of presenting all of them in one statement. That is confusing and does not really result in complex sentence presentations. Rather, your GRA score will be lower because you successfully confused the reader in relation to your content presentation. This is particularly evident in your summary overview that should have had 3-5 sentences in the presentation covering various key data from the line chart.

Work on your vocabulary. Don't use common phrases and descriptions such as "different sources", that shows a shallow English vocabulary that will not increase your LR score. However, if you had said something like "dissimilar sources", you would have shown a better access to English words that could help increase the LR score for your essay. Good work on creatively mentioning the 3 energy sources in the summary. It was interesting and would have definitely helped you get a better TA score.

You should write 1 or 2 more sentence in your overview, I think yours is short and not enough key data
