Essay topics:

The chart below shows how frequently people in the USA ate in fast food restaurants between 2003 and 2013.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The bar chart illustrates the frequency of American people went to fast food restaurants in 2003, 2006, and 2013. Overall, a considerable amount of the USA residents ate fast food once a week in 2003 and 2006, while more people went to fast food restaurants one or two times every month in 2013.

First of all, in 2003, 4% of the individuals ate fast food every day. This ratio jumped to its four times at 16% in the next group and then peaking at 30%. After experiencing a gradual decrease, the figure dramatically fell to the final statistic of 5% in those never eating fast food. Similarly, this trend also can be viewed in 2006 but in a more significant way. The percentage firstly started at 3% before soaring to 20% in the next group. After levelling off at 32%, it steadily dropped to 4% in the end.

As for the year of 2013, a same initial proportion was recorded as that in 2006. Therefore, it sustainably climbed to the highest point at 32% in the group of eating junk food once or twice a month. The last two groups also shared the same rates with that in 2006, constituting 15% and 4% respectively.

flaws:
1. It is not clear to say 'in the next group' or 'The last two groups'. need to make them clear.

2. the summary is not only for the peak ones, it is for overall, better like this:

Overall, throughout the surveyed period, most Americans ate fast food moderately, while the percentage of people never ate or ate on daily basis remained low.

3. for this topic, better to compare by categories, not by years. when it is by years, it is hard to figure out what is the 'main features'. but by category, it is easier to figure out:

'every day' and 'never' share the same pattern.

'once a week' and 'several times a week' share the same pattern.

in 2013, people eat less fast food, the top one is 'once or twice a month',

and in 2006 and 2013, it has the same pattern for 'a few times a year' .
