Furqanda, you show me an excellent writing. Although your writing almost has no issues, there are several minor things to be addressed here. You may consider the following suggestions:

"..which is compared in the table."
"..obtains higher quantity than male in both categories, while.."
"..the male percentage havehas never reached.."

Also, I found that you often use word "while" within the essay which is quite bothering me. Try to use more varieties of transitional phrase as it will make your writing better. I wish that you will disseminate your knowledge by helping the other members regarding their writing in this forum. Keep up the good work!

Hi Furqada, the analysis you made is written fairly well, you made sure that the information transpired in your essay. The details of your analysis is also clearly elaborated in this writing. The words you choose are direct and precise, this is very important when it comes to this type of writing as the details are very crucial in order to understand the analysis.

Now, as mentioned, you have a fairly written essay, however, I noticed that some of the verb forms that you use are past tense, when it should be present tense, this is very important when it comes to creating a well constructed essay. What you need to do is to review the language rules again and remind yourself of the verb tenses, this review will definitely help you come up with a stronger analysis.

There you have it Furqada, I hope you follow through with the suggested modifications and keep writing.
