The response covers all four countries and gives a clear overview of both data dimensions. It omits the 2003 starting figures, so changes are only partly quantified, and “all-time high” goes beyond the two years shown. The UK’s reported doubling is a close approximation of its rise from 137,000 to 266,000.
7.0Ideas progress logically through an overview, then absolute numbers, then ratios, with cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'Regarding changes', and 'Concerning' used naturally and without strain.
7.0Vocabulary is varied, including “albeit less pronounced” and “standing below 5”. Precision is reduced by “influx”, which implies arrivals rather than worker totals, and by the unsupported “all-time high”. The figures 678.000 and 266.000 also need consistent English thousands notation.
8.0A wide range of structures, including inverted comparisons like 'in first place was New Zealand' and participial constructions, is used accurately with only rare, non-impeding errors.
