Khoa, the summary overview is only considered a complete paragraph when it indicates all of the forthcoming discussion information in an essay based upon the images provided to you. Your presentation lacks a mention of the age groups involved as well as the instructions indicating that you will be making comparisons when necessary. Your second paragraph requires additional information presentation, possibly in the comparison range because it doesn't meet the minimum sentence requirement to qualify as a paragraph. The same observation was seen in your last paragraph. Your score will be reduced because of the incomplete presentation in those paragraphs. Your essay would have also been made stronger if you had dedicated a paragraph to cross referencing the information about Yemen and Italy. Such cross referencing indications increase your score because your analytical abilities in English are highlighted and catches the attention of the examiner.
