I am looking for help with IELTS! Feel free to coment on! The pie chart shows the reasons which caused decreasing in productivity of agricultural land. It consists of 4 parts. First and foremost, overgrazing, which takes 35% out of all. Then we have deforestation (30%) and over-cultivation (28%). 7% goes to other factors. The table shows comparison of the factors described above, which destroyed lands in North America, Europe and Oceania. Over-grazing became the most harmful issue for the nature and in a short period of time throughout 1990’s caused significant degradation of land from 1.5% in North America up to 11.3% in Oceania. The second worst reason was deforestation with 9.8% impact in Europe and much far less percentage of influence in other geographical regions. The third reason – over-cultivating – had a zero impact in Oceania, but at the same time the highest impact compared to others in North America and the average in 7.7% in Europe. With 23% in total Europe was the most degraded in 1990’s. In contrast to this North America had only 5% of degraded land. Thank you for any correction!

The pie chart shows the reasons for a decrease in productivity of agricultural land. It consists of four parts. First and foremost, overgrazing, which degraded 35% of agricultural land. [1] Then we have deforestation (30%), and overcultivation (28%). 7% is attributable to other factors.

The table shows a comparison of the factors described above, which destroyed lands in North America, Europe, and Oceania. Overgrazing became the most destructive factor for the nature, and in a short period of time throughout the 1990’s caused significant degradation of land, from 1.5% in North America up to 11.3% in Oceania. The second worst factor was deforestation, with a 9.8% impact in Europe, and a much lesser percentage of influence in other geographical regions.

The third reason – overcultivation – had a zero impact in Oceania, but at the same time the highest impact compared to other causes in North America; and an average of 7.7% in Europe.

With a total of 23%, agricultural land in Europe was the most degraded in the 1990’s. In contrast to this, North America had only 5% of degraded land.

Thank you for any corrections!

 

[1]  My corrections are based upon my understanding that you wish to state the percentage of agricultural land that has been degraded by various causes.  If I am mistaken, tell me, and I'll try again.
