The chart below shows information about changes in average house prices in five different cities between 1990 and 2002 compared with the average house prices in 1989. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The bar chart plots the percentage of how average house prices changed in different cities namely, New York, Madrid, Tokyo, Frankfurt, and London between 1990 and 2002 in comparison to those in 1989.
In overall, the average costs of housing in the first period 1990-1995 were consistently low and even negative in amount compared with those in 1996-2002 when the values considerably climbed.
In detail, between 1990 and 1995, while the total costs of houses in three cities New York, Tokyo, and London were in negative directions with lows of -7.5% in Tokyo and London, and exactly -5% in New York, positive percentages were recorded in Frankfurt and Madrid with a slight edge between each, at nearly 2,5% and 2% respectively. On the contrary, there was a reverse for the data in the later period of 1996-2002; though proportions of prices in Tokyo still remained negatively low (-5%), there were significant increases in other cities, with London having the highest amount (12%), followed by New York (5%), and finally Frankfurt (2%) which was only 0.5% lower than itself in the first period.
The bar chart plots the percentage of how average house prices changed in different cities namely, New York, Madrid, Tokyo, Frankfurt, and London between 1990 and 2002 (Incorrect. The averages are not for this twelve-year period.) in comparison to those in 1989.
The two bar charts (one for 1990-1995 and the second for 1996-2002) plots the percentage of changes in average house prices in five cities namely, New York, Madrid, Tokyo, Frankfurt, and London, as compared to 1989.
In overall, the average costs of housing in the first period 1990-1995 (The reader is confused. You wrote that there was one period, 1990-2002. If the reader is confused, your essay has poor coherence and cohesion.) were consistently low and even negative (That is not correct. Two of the cities had higher values.) in amount compared with those in 1996-2002 when the values considerably climbed. (That is incorrect. One city had lower values.)
In detail, between 1990 and 1995, while the total costs of houses in three cities New York, Tokyo, and London were lower, in negative directions with lows of -7.5% in Tokyo and London, and exactly -5% in New York, (comma splice error) positive percentages were recorded in Frankfurt and Madrid with a slight difference edge between each, them, at nearly 2,5% and 2% respectively. On the contrary, there was a reverse for the data (unnatural - poor English) in the later period of 1996-2002; though proportions (wrong word) of prices in Tokyo still were less remained negatively low (-5%), there were significant increases in other cities, with London having the highest amount rise (12%), followed by New York (5%), and finally Frankfurt (2%) which was only 0.5% lower than itself in the first period.
Sample essay:
The bar chart compares percentage changes in house prices in five different cities: New York, Madrid, Tokyo, Frankfurt and London. Prices are averaged over two time periods, 1990-1995 and 1996-2002 and compared to a baseline, the average in 1989.
Overall, in the first period, the average house price had dropped in three of these cities: New York, Tokyo and London. In the second period, all were higher except for Tokyo. The greatest price swings were in London.
In detail, two cities, Frankfurt and Madrid, average prices had risen in both periods, but in Madrid they climbed higher (+2% to +4%) whereas in Frankfort they were more modest (+3% to +1%). New York and London showed the same pattern, i.e. lower prices in the first period and higher prices in the second. The swings were 10% (-5% to +5%) in New York and 19% ( -7% to +12%) in London. Tokyo had the same percentage decrease as London in the first period (-7.5%) but recovered slightly to -5% in the second.
