This model answer has been prepared by an examiner as a very good answer.
However, please note that this is just one answer out of many possible
approaches.

The bar chart shows the percentage of females entering higher education in
the years 1970 and 2005. The chart shows the percentages in five countries,
the UK, the USA, Canada, Japan and Germany. Overall, the proportion of
women in higher education increased in the five countries.

In general, there were more female students in 2005 than in 1970, with more
than half of women in higher education in all of the countries apart from
Japan. In four of the countries, the percentage of women going into higher
education rose.

The most dramatic change was in Japan, where the percentage doubled from
20% to 40%. The smallest change was seen in Germany, where the number
increased only from 50% to 55%. The only country in which there was not an
increase was Canada. Although the percentage of Canadian women going into
higher education remained the same at 60%, this was the highest in 1970 and
equal highest with the UK in 2005.
