NEVER write anything like this:
- Cars were the highest in Germany.
- Electronics went down from 20% to 16%.
- Food products were the same.
Instead, you should wite:

- Cars were the highest exported items in Germany.
- The Electronics’ export went down from 20% to 16%.
- Food products’ exports were the same over this
period.

Try to memorize at least 5-8 writings!
Here is my writing:
The pie charts compare the exports of five different products in the UK and
Germany in a two-year period, from 2020 to 2021.
Overall, the majority of the exports in the UK were mechanical machinery, while
Germany exported the most cars over the same period.
UK’s export of mechanical machinery was a staggering 46% on average in this

period, whereas this figure in Germany was almost half of UK’s exports. The
second most exported item in both countries was cars. In 2021, they accounted
for 37% and 31% of the exports in Germany and the UK respectively, an increase
of 3% from the previous year.
19% of Germany’s exports and 15% of the exports in the UK were pharmaceutical
products in 2020, but in 2021, these countries experienced a 2% drop in their
exports of these products. In Germany, the electronics took an average of 18% of
the exports in both years, while this figure was a negligible 5% in the UK over the
same period. Finally, food products were the least exported items in both
countries in both years, roughly 6%.
