The last paragraph of this essay is not structured as a mere report, which affected the overall presentation of the analysis. The task 1 essay requires only a single trending statement or paragraph. You added a secondary trend towards the ending. Rather than placing that information at the very last part, you should have integrated that into the actual trending presentation instead. It is alright to present a full trending paragraph to the reader if you feel that there is more than one trend in the image. You just have to structure the overall paragraph format correctly to achieve your desired purpose. Otherwise, the additional information can confuse your presentation clarity, lowering your score in the process.
