Dear Ilankelo,
I think your essay really good
Next time try to use passive voice in your writing It's will be more perfect.

Use passive voice when the sentence object is more important than the subject. The active voice is generally easier to read.

Examples (subject, object)

Before: Our results will be discussed.
After: We will discuss our results.

Overall, it can be noticeable that both women and men utilised car for working (...) for visiting a friend.

I hope It's will be helpful.

Hi Ilham, it is nice to read another IELTS essay practice of yours. I would like to point out some of your weaknesses in order to strengthen it in the next practice. I hope the detailed descriptions below would be helpful towards your writing development.

- You need to bear in mind that each paragraph of your essay needs to have at least 3 sentences in each before it can even be considered acceptable by the examiner. The idea is to have you present a complete thought and understanding of all the aspects of the chart you were provided. By limiting yourself to only 2 sentences per paragraph, you fail to display your ability to express yourself in the English language, which is a major component of the scoring system. Let me give some modifications towards your introduction paragraph:

A breakdown of the proportioninformation aboutof trips undertaken by car according to purpose and driver sex in 2005 is presented in the bar chart. The value is measured in percentage. Overall, it can be noticeable that, (comma needed) both women and men utilized car for working while a small percentage is seen in the figure for visiting friend.

- I think that it is necessary to give some variations of describing the data from the chart. I noticed that in your first and second body paragraphs, you accidentally mentioned the percentage in every sentence since the beginning of the first body paragraph till the end of the essay. Even though you've been using different format, I reckon that somehow percentage is not mentioned three or four times in a row.

Lastly, I also noticed that your essay was lack of grammatical consistency. If you read again carefully, I think you would find these inaccuracies:

- To begin, more men used car to go to... (past tense)
- Recreation rate comes behind at around 12... (present tense)
- Other remaining data account for less than... (present tense)

- When it comes to women figure, utilizing car for succeeding job considerably dominates all the... (present tense)
- This is followed by the use.. (present tense)

You need to remember this one "...according to purpose and driver sex in 2005..." I took it from your overview. Therefore, all of the sentence in body paragraphs should be in past form. I hope you can follow through the feedback given mate. Good luck for the next practice :)
