Hello Maya,

As a learner, I attempted to analyse your essay and I found some confusing sentence.


Basketball, rugby and swimming are the rest of the sports that chlildren play. Regarding the table, only basketball showed a 10 per cent decrease, while rugby only felt 2 per cent and swimming remained constant.

Here is my suggestion:
Other sport categories were drop slightly with basketball 35 per cent for 6-11 and 25 per cent 12-16, rugby 23 per cent for 6-11 and 21 per cent for 12-16 and swimming the same percentage for both of group ages.
