Hello!

Your description of the data is good, but your summary/overview is a little weak. You should include the trends in it.

Vocabulary is good, with some comparative language. However, there are a lot of basic grammatical errors.

Basically, work on the grammar and be sure to include a full overview and you'll have a very good report.

All the best,
David
