Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 6.0

The response effectively organizes the information by destination and identifies the dominant origins in each country, with most of the later figures reported accurately. Its main limitation is imprecise language and recurring grammatical errors, compounded by reversing the 2002 China and USA figures for Canada. Prioritize precise data checking and use straightforward terms such as students, increased, and decreased in consistently accurate sentences.
