Common mistake
Writing a dynamic chart as a static comparison misses the core time-change task.
Turn the chart type into an overview, data selection, comparisons, and sentence control first. The goal is not memorising one sample; it is knowing what this chart needs most.
Decide which relationship the chart requires first, then choose the figures and language that support the overview.
Writing a dynamic chart as a static comparison misses the core time-change task.

Decide whether each item rises, falls, fluctuates, stays stable, or crosses another item.
Turn one static data sentence into a from-to change sentence.

After submitting a Task 1 report, inspect the overview, key data, comparisons, and sentence accuracy first, then decide whether to rewrite the overview, data sentences, or linking.
