You have typed a Task 2 level essay based on your 241 word count. The task 1 essay is never more than 175-190 words. As such, you will definitely run out of time to type up your task 2 essay because you will need to take more time away from that task to allow for editing time in the task 1 essay. Always type using a timer. No matter how fast you type or write, you need to fully utilize the 40 minutes to perfecting the content, presentation, grammar, and spelling of your task 1 report. Use a timer so you will know exactly how much of the 20 minutes you used up in writing and how much time you left for editing, if at all.

In a task 1 essay, you need only prove that you are capable of creating an understandable report, using pertinent information, in English. You do not need to try and jazz up the information through the use of flowery words. Just report the information directly, make comparisons where relevant, and always make sure that you represent all of the headline information in the summary overview.

Your summary overview does not indicate all of the considerations / topics per chart. It also does not include the measurement reference for the given data. The summary overview is incomplete. Try to avoid using words of uncertainty in the Task 1 essay. Since the digits are precisely presented, you will lose points for misrepresenting data. You create uncertainty where there is none, so the essay will come across as not fully accurate in information. Do not use the estimation on the side of the chart, use the data at the top of every bar chart instead. That is the most accurate information you can use, with precise references instead of uncertainty.

Keep this essay short, you need to be conscious of your time usage in relation to your editing requirements. Both of which can help you to create a better scoring presentation in the end.
