When you mention that there are 3 pie charts, you need to make a reference as to what each pie chart represents. You can either identify it by chart title or, you can list the chart titles by saying "the pie charts represent... respectively". It helps clarify your summary presentation in the summary overview.

You need to show more comparisons in your sentence. Instead of just using 2 sentences, aim to write at least 3 sentences so that you can clearly refer to an analytical portion in your paragraph presentation. The analysis is very important because it adds to the clarity of the presentation, allows you to show a mix of simple and complex sentences, and also gives you the opportunity to show your analytical thinking to the examiner.

There are 3 different pie charts provided, so when you mentioned them, you should make it clear what each pie chart represents. Also, instead of using only 2 sentences in the 2 latter paragraphs, you should aim to write at least 3 sentences, you can try to make more comparisons where relevant. I hope that you find my comment useful.
