    The line graph depicts a comparison between Japan, Sweden, and the USA according to the percentage of people aged 65 and over between 1940 and 2040.


    It is clear from the graph that<strike>, </strike>in 1940, the percentage of THE population aged 65 and over was the highest in America, at just below 10%, while it was approximately 7% and 5% in Sweden and Japan respectively. From 1940 to 2000, the figureS for America and Sweden rose steadily (NOT REALLY - THEY BOTH EXPERIENCED A PLATEAU/ SLIGHT DIP STARTING IN 1980)and <strike>they</strike> were relatively close, whereas the percentage of Japanese people aged OVER 65  experienced a slight decline before it returned to the same level in 2000.


    In 2000, the percentage of the elderly in Sweden become higher than the other two countries for the first time. In the future, it is expected that the percentage of the aged people in japan will soar to 25% and will be higher than the other two groups.


    To sum it up, the percentage of aged people in the three countries has experienced an overall increase throughout the presented scale of time.


    YOUR GRAMMAR IS ACCURATE, AS IS YOUR VOCABULARY BUT THIS IS MISSING SOME DETAIL.   THE ONLY COUNTRY YOU MENTION 2040 FIGURES FOR IS JAPAN

    (IELTS) Essay - Raising animals for consumption

    Assignment: People should never eat meat because raising animals for human consumption is cruel. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

    Some of us believe that we should not eat meat since it involves inhumane treatment to animals. I have to say that I only partially agree. The breeding business is undoubtedly horrendous. Nevertheless, from my perspective meat consumption should be limited, not prohibited. History of animal breeding has shown a tendency of prioritizing productivity over humanity, and there has been no legal requirement for implementing a humane code of conduct. However, it does not necessarily mean that animal product consumption must be avoided altogether.  <font style="background-color: yellow;">You could have omitted the last 2 sentences of your introduction and it still would have been complete. This would have reduced your word count and saved time.  </font>

    Similar to other fields of businesses, animal raisers' first and foremost concern is profitability. Apparently, treating animals humanely does not yield any monetary value. In reverse, cramming more animals into a narrow, confined space, or overfeeding them to the point of obesity leads to more profit, despite the discomfort from which billions of animals may suffer.<font style="background-color: yellow;">  What is the purpose of this paragraph?  What is the central idea?   You are clearly analyzing that raising animals for meat is cruel but what about the idea that we should NEVER eat meat because of it???.</font>  

    Additionally, from the dawn of animal breeding until the modern day, the concerns about animals' welfare have never been translated into <font style="background-color: yellow;">legislation</font> <strike>a law enforcement</strike>. In other words, humans can abuse animals as much as they want without any consequence. Thus, it is not surprising that together with the advance of technology, people find more and more ways to exploit animals, cruelly and efficiently. <font style="background-color: yellow;">Again, here you have more analysis of the cruelty of animal breeding but nothing about the fact that we should be vegetarians because of it.</font>  

    Some may argue that despite all arguments about humanity, raising animals for consumption is necessary for humans' survival. I must admit that they have a point: Animal meat is truly a unique source of complete proteins and vitamin B12, which are essential for muscle development and other bodily functions. However,<strike> I must insist that</strike> nowadays, our meat consumption is grossly excessive. Too much of a good thing is always a bad thing. And in this case, it leads to more cruelty towards animals, as well as the exploding (<font style="background-color: yellow;">awk</font>) of high blood pressure, obesity and cardiovascular diseases around the world.

    With all the arguments presented above, I believe that the correct course of action we should take right now is to limit meat consumption<strike>s</strike> to the necessary level. It would help reduce unrestrained cruelty in the breeding business and improve the quality of our lives.

    Note: my first essay, too long (347 words) and consumed too much time. Guess that's fine (for now) ^^

    <font style="background-color: yellow;">Your grammar is excellent and you display lots of  advanced vocabulary but make sure you focus appropriately on the issue presented in the prompt.   Also, paragraphing must be very deliberate where each paragraph presents a separate, clear idea.</font>
