Future Education in Britain in Three Periods of Time

The line graph illustrates the quantities of male and female students in further education in Britain in decades of 70’s, 80’s and 90’s and the proportion between full-time and part-time forms of education.
Overall, the graph is separated to left and right halves with lines representing men and women respectively. The full-time number for men fluctuated over three decades, whereas for women it made a steep rise in the second and third decades. The part-time education number grew for both genders, with a jump for female students in a period between 70’s and 80’s.
Male students were predominant in 70’s overtaking women more over than 200 thousand. With a decrease in male students, 80’s saw an approximate balance between sexes. However, women overrun men in 90’s with a substantial difference about 100 thousand students. There also was a little increase in number of male students in 90’s, but it wasn’t as significant as female. In part-time education, there was twice as many men than women in 70’s, however the number of students reached a balance in 90’s.


Second example from IELTS. Two tries this time. 128 words in first try, 180 in second :D
Rate it please.

Corrections

However, women overruntook men in the 90s with a substantial difference of about 100 thousand students.

The negative connotations of "to overrun" (invading, infesting) make the presence of more women sound like a bad thing. I'd replace it with "to overtake" because it has a neutral meaning: "to catch up with".

In part-time education, there wasere twice as many men thanas women in the 70s, howeverbut the number of students reached a balance in the 90s.

I changed "however" to "but" in my correction, but there are other options for connecting these two thoughts.

Use a semicolon and comma: "...in the 70s; however, the number..."

Start a new sentence and add a comma: "...in the 70s. However, the number..."

Feedback

This is really good! Great use of vocabulary. Your sentence structure is way better this time, I'm really impressed (especially since it's hard to analyze data and talk about it in a foreign language).

Was it easier this time to write it? How many words do you need to write for the test?

8.5/10

Thank you, Brambsie! Yep, it was a bit easier than the first time.
I must write at least 150 words for this part of test. There is also a second part with minimum of 180 words.

You could also say 'over three periods'. But 'across' sounds like a better register for this text.

Feedback

There is a convention for writing numbers smaller than 10 out, but not larger numbers. So we would say one man, two foxes, three birds, but 200,000 people, 35 hot dog, 908 hamburgers.

Very academic text, nice work.
