Bar chart
The graph compares the growth of the population living in urban areas in six different regions of the world.
According to the chart, between 1950 and 2007 the percentage of the population living in Latin America and the Caribbean almost doubled, from 42% to 76%. The lowest percentage increase is found in Oceania.
The other four regions are about 20% percent change except in North America, it is 15%.
The projected percentage increase expectations in Africa and Asia are the highest in 2050 with a quarter percent increase from 2007.
90% of the North American and 89% of the Latin American / Caribbean populations will be living in urban areas by 2050. The change from 2007 to 2050 is 11% and 14% respectively. Oceania will have the lowest percentage change compared to the other five regions. As we can from the graph the change, it is only 5% from 2007 to 2050.

This looks very good. My only comments:
- Spell out "percent" instead of using "%."
- Numbers at the beginning of a sentence should be spelled out, e.g., "'Ninety percent." Alternatively, re-arrange the sentence so the number comes later on, e.g., "The chart shows that 90 percent ...."

Thanks Kayla. I forgot to type it

A verb is missing from the last sentence. You could use for example "as we can tell" or "as we can see"
As we can see from the graph, the change is only 5% from 2007 to 2050.
