It can be seen from the chart that the USA by far won the largest number of medals. According to the chart, the figures for gold, silver and bronze seem to be fairly similar.

The USA have won nearly 2,500 medals in total, with approximately 900 gold medals, 750 silver and 600 bronze. The Soviet Union stood at second place with just over 1,000 medals.

Only four other countries, namely the UK, France, Germany and Italy, have won more than 500 medals, all with alike proportions of each colour of medal. It is also clear that China is the only other country with a noticeably high proportions of gold medals compared to silver and bronze.

This paper doesn't have a good chance of receiving a passing score since the word count is only 130 words. It is severely under the 150 word minimum. Word count deductions shall heavily apply to the pre-scoring TA score. The lack of word count in the result of under analyzed paragraphs. A properly analyzed paragraph will always have an extended discussion format of 3-5 - sentences. Your paragraphs average 2 sentences per paragraph. This shows a lack of discussion outlining and brainstorming during the drafting process. improve the analysis presentation for a better overall scoring consideration. This is a good start. Now, try to write more words based on data analysis and comparisons. I will not point out other scoring problems at this point since I do not know ifthe errors can be avoided when you write at least 150 words. 175- 190 would be a good word target range for any task 1 presentation.
