Why this response received Band 7.0
The essay presents a well-structured overview and systematically details data for both countries using logical paragraphing. However, there is a minor inaccuracy in the overview statement regarding the trend for children in Yemen, alongside a missing figure for Italy in 2000. Prioritize cross-checking overview trends against data points to ensure absolute accuracy throughout.
