STEP 0:
The pie charts compare full-time and part-time students’ responses to a survey about the services of a university
library.
It is clear that full-time students give more positive feedbacks about both the IT support and the library’s
opening hours. In addition, most students are satisfied about the opening hours, while the majority of part-time
students are not happy about the IT support.
As can be seen from the first two charts, 55% of full-time students rate the IT support as very happy, which is
almost three times as much as that of part-time students (at 20%). Around one third of both type of students
describe this service as quite happy. Otherwise, nearly a half of part-time students are not satisfied with the IT
support, compared to only 13% of full-time students.
Looking more closely to the other two charts, both full-time and part-time students are relatively happy with the
opening hours, with 67% of full-time and 72% of part-time students consider them to be very happy.
Furthermore, only 1% of full-time and 5% of part-time students think this service is not happy at all.
STEP 1
The pie charts illustrate students’ responses to a survey
Overall, a larger proportion of full-time students were satisfied with the IT support. The great majority of
students were happy with the library opening hours.
IT support: the same percentage were quite happy. Only 20% of part-time students said they were delighted,
compared with 55% of full-time students. While only 13% of full-time students were not happy with the IT
support, this figure was almost half (45%) for part-time students.
The opening hours: most students were pleased, 67% and 72%. 32% of full-time students stated that they were
pretty happy with these hours, 23% of part-time students. Only a small minority of students were not at all
satisfied – just 5% or less.
STEP 2
The pie charts illustrate student’s responses to a survey carried out by a university library about its IT support
and opening hours.
Overall, it is clear that a larger proportion of full-time students were satisfied with the IT support than in part-
time students.
However, the great majority of students were happy with the library opening hours.
In terms of IT support, almost the same percentage of full-time and part-time students were quite happy with
this service, at 32% and 3%, respectively.
However, only 20% of part-time students said they were delighted compared with 55% of full-time students.
While only 13% of full-time students were not happy with the IT support, this figure was almost half (45%) for
part-time students.
Most students were pleased with the opening hours, 67% and 72% for full-time and part-time students,
respectively.
In addition, 32% of full-time students stated that they were pretty happy with these hours, compared with 23%
of part-time students.
Finally, only a small minority of students were not at all satisfied – just 5% or less.
STEP 3: useful vocab and structures:
- A larger proportion of …
- The great majority of …
- Satisfied with = happy with = delighted = pleased with
- Say, state,
- A small minority

STEP 4:
The pie charts compare the full-time and part-time students’ responses to a survey about the services of a
university library.
It is clear that a larger proportion of full-time students gave positive feedback regarding IT support than part-
time students. In addition, the great majority of students were satisfied with the opening hours.
In terms of the IT support, 55% of full-time students rated it as very happy, which was three times as much as
that of part-time students. The percentages of full-time and part-time students who were quite satisfied were
relatively similar, at 32% and 35%, respectively. However, nearly half of part-time students (45%) described
the IT support as not happy at all, compared to only 13% for full-time students.
With regard to the opening hours, most students were delighted with it, with the proportions are 67% and 72%
for full-time and part-time students, respectively. Additionally, 32% of full-time and 23% of part-time students
considered these hours to be pretty pleased. Finally, only a small minority of students were not happy at all with
5% or less.

STEP 0:
The bar chart illustrates the amount of money spent yearly for doctors and other workers in seven different
nations in the year 2004.
It is clear that doctors earned more significant amounts than other jobs in all these areas. In addition, the US
paid for both doctors and other workers with the highest amount among these seven countries.

US dollars. However, doctors in these countries received over three times higher amount, around $30,000. At
the same year, doctors in Finland earned the lowest amount of money, with roughly $50,000, which was about
twice as much as that of other workers in this country.

respectively. Other workers in Switzerland and France received slightly smaller amounts, at $ 40 thousand, and
$32 thousand, respectively. Finally, doctors in these two countries are paid similar amounts, with more than 70
thousand US dollars.

In France: earned 30,000, little more than in Finland,, who had an annual salary if 25,000. The lowest earnings
were in Italy, Germany, and the Czech Republic
STEP 2:

Switzerland, respectively.
Other workers in France eared $30,000, a little more than other workers in Finland, who had an annual salary of
$25,000.
The lowest yearly earnings were for other workers in Italy, Germany, and the Czech Republic, at exactly

STEP 4:
The bar chart illustrates the yearly amount of money paid for doctors and other workers in seven different
nations in the year 2004.
It is clear that the salary of doctors in each country was much higher than that of other workers. In addition, the
US doctors and other workers earned the highest amounts among these seven countries.
In 2004, other workers in Italy, Czech Republic, and Germany were paid similar salaries, about $20,000 for
each. However, the annual pay of doctors in these countries was more than three times higher, above $30,000.
