Its better to use another word of significantly in first sentence of both paragraph 2 and 3.

Mochtar, complete the way that you present the information in the overview / introduction of your essay. You accidentally created only two sentences in what was otherwise a very strong start to your essay. Your mistake was compressing the information into the two sentences you presented. Format your opening statement into at least three sentences this way:

A description of ... The values are measured ... Overall, the aforementioned...

The first body of your essay also has the same problem. If you don't serve up the information from the chart in the proper way within the essay, you will badly damage your final grade in the essay. I suggest that you approach the first body in the following manner:

The first half period... price in 2006. Then continued to rise... In the following...

Keep 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. So the following still needs work.

Regarding the second... of 2008 and 2009. The figures subsequently jumped... Notwithstanding some fluctuations...

You also have to address the lack of a conclusion in your essay. You need to figure out how to develop 3 sentences that will properly close your report review.

The flow of the ideas is well-done. Yet, you did not write this report in the proper way. Some sentences are lack of clarity since fancy words are being used. Remember, clarity is the king. Let me give a try for the intro;
