number of cases of poor health conditions.
(The signal word “overall” is used; the two main features of the table, “the
highest and the lowest figures,” are compared in a general way without
mentioning details.)
3) Body paragraph 1
Regarding the given statistics, cardiovascular diseases affected most of
the population in England, Germany, and Spain with 6.6, 6.3, and 5.9
million people, respectively. However, this figure had a noticeable
reduction to 4.6 million Americans. In contrast, diabetes affected the
lowest number of individuals in all these countries. The figure had a
significant drop to 2.2 million for the US. In comparison, it was raised
minimally for Spain, reaching the second-lowest number of diabetic
patients with 2.3 million.
(Note that although it is difficult to see the tables’ trends, it is still essential to
use academic vocabulary and phrases to describe changes. However, there is
no need to describe every piece of detailed information. In this paragraph,
comparison and contrast are both used to describe data for the highest and the
lowest numbers. Some details and specific phrases have helped draw a clear
picture of the trends.)
4) Body paragraph 2
Obesity came second for most countries except for the US, where the
number of obese people reached a peak of 7.1 million. On the other
hand, this amount noticeably declined to 5.8 million for Germany.
Similarly, the trends for England and Spain showed a moderate decrease
to 4.8 million for the former and 4.4 million for the latter.
(This paragraph shows a contrast between the third and the other two
categories described in the first body paragraph. Some comparative
structures, specific vocabulary, phrases, and details have successfully
described changes.)
