Why this response received Band 8.0
The response is especially strong in selecting and comparing all relevant proportions, with a precise overview and fully accurate figures for both charts. The main limitation is language control: the repeated misuse of constitute for and the split spelling of forest reduce precision, so the highest-priority improvement is to use account for instead and proofread carefully while retaining the concise structure.
