language. These key features are indispensable:
1. Types of charts (bar chart and pie chart)
2. Time period (no time period)
3. Main topic of each chart (bar chart: the reasons why adults
decide to study; pie chart: how people think the costs of adult
education should be shared)

as to why people choose to go to school while the pie graph portrays

• 2.2. Overview
You can simply write this part in two to three sentences with
outstanding features in each graph. To be specific, the first sentence
will be the main features from the first graph, the second sentence
will be the main features from the second graph. Also, any
comparisons can be optionally mentioned in sentence 3. For key
features, you can base on these suggestions to sort out:
1. The general trend overtime
2. The highest/lowest figures
3. The gaps among figures
Overview
• e.g. Overall, it is apparent in the bar chart that there are seven
reasons as to why adults decide to study, and the subject of interest is
the most significant one. On the other hand, it can be observed from
the pie chart that individual funding for education has had a far higher
percentage compared to the other two.

of any special features or comparisons (if any)
The charts below show reasons for
travel and the main issues for the
travelling public in the US in 2009.
Introduction + Overview
The bar chart and pie chart give information about why US
residents travelled and what travel problems they
experienced in the year 2009.

It is clear that the principal reason why Americans travelled


in 2009 was to commute to and from work. In the same year,
the primary concern of Americans, with regard to the trips
they made, was the cost of travelling.
First Body Paragraph
• Looking more closely at the bar chart, we can see that 49%
of the trips made by Americans in 2009 were for the purpose
of commuting. By contrast, only 6% of trips were visits to
friends or relatives, and one in ten trips were for social or
recreation reasons. Shopping was cited as the reason for 16%
of all travel, while unspecific ‘personal reasons’ accounted
for the remaining 19%.
Second Body Paragraph
• According to the pie chart, price was the key consideration
for 36% of American travellers. Almost one in five people
cited safety as their foremost travel concern, while
aggressive driving and highway congestion were the main
issues for 17% and 14% of the travelling public. Finally, a total
of 14% of those surveyed thought that access to public
transport or space for pedestrians were the most important
travel issues.
