The table data illustrates the proportion of students who gave good ratings to various aspects of a
university in three different years - 2005, 2010 and 2015.
 HOMEWORK

Overall, it is clear that the percentage of students who gave good ratings to five different aspects of the
university were comparatively higher in 2015 than previous years with the exception of the range of modules
offered by the university.
 HOMEWORK

There was a sharp increase in the number of students giving these services a good rating, particularly in the
first five years: from 54 percent in 2005, to 81 percent in 2010, and 95 percent in 2015. There was also an
overall improvement in ratings for teaching quality, though the increase was relatively small (74 percent in
2005 rising to 78 percent in 2015) and there was a decline in the interim (72 percent in 2010). There was
also a fluctuation in attitudes to library resources, rising from 86 percent to 88 percent in the first five years
and then falling by one percent in 2015
 HOMEWORK

Good ratings for the university’s sports and social facilities were identical throughout, at 65 percent. Finally,
there were poor ratings at the beginning of the period for the range of modules offered (39 percent in 2005)
and they got worse, falling steadily to 31 percent in 2010 and 25 percent in 2015.

The bar chart below demonstrates the various types of accommodation chosen by the British when they went on holiday in
2010.  Summarize the facts by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Divide by groups
• Groups of subjects (in vertical axis)
• Groups of columns (elements/factors/…)
This bar chart illustrates different kinds of holiday
accommodations selected by people in the United
Kingdom in 2010.

Overall, it is seen that the English, Scottish,

Northern Irish and Welsh had very similar choices
and most preferred type of accommodation of
people from these regions was hotel.
In all these four nations, almost half of the visitors
lodged in hotels with English being the highest
among them with 55 percent, which was nearly
twice the percentage of those who chose to cook
for themselves with around 27%. At the same time
a similar difference in proportion of people choosing
campsites and caravans was noticed with 12% and
6% respectively. 

Probing further, around 50% of holidaymakers among 

the Scots and the Welsh took the hotels as their
accommodation, and with around 30% of them opted
for self-catering apartments. The only exception was
camping holidays at 5%, which was lesser popular
than caravan holidays in Scotland where as the Welsh
had completely opposite tastes for Caravan & Camping.
However, Northern Ireland witnessed a different pattern
with just over 30% of the people choosing caravan and 
similar choices in terms of percentage were recorded
with self-catering accommodation and camping with
around 12%.

III. Body 1

To begin with, the amount of electricity generated and

Used in China was higher than any other countries in
the chart, at 5398 and 5322 billion Kwh, respectively.

This was followed by the figure for USA with 4099 billion
Kwh produced and 3866 billion Kwh consumed

Apart from these countries, Russia was the only country

with more than 1000 billion Kwh for each category

IV. Body 2

A similar trend was witnessed in the figures for Japan,

India, Canada, France and Brazil from 455,8 billion Kwh
to 936,3 billion Kwh

In contrast, Germans used more electricity than they

Produced, at 582,5 billion Kwh and 526,6 billion Kwh,
respectively

Finally, Korea had the least amount of electricity

Production, at 485,1 billion Kwh and consumption, at
449,5 billion Kwh

In 1995, Coal’s production accounted
for the highest proportion, at 29.80%
of the total energy production in
France, while the rates of Gas and
Petro produced were slightly lower, at
29.63% and 29.27% respectively. By

Sample The pie charts compare the production of various types of energy in
France in two years 1995 and 2005
There was a rise in almost all kinds of energy production with the
exception of Petro. The percentage of Coal produced was highest in
both years. Meanwhile, the figure for Other types of energy was by
far the lowest.
In 1995, Coal’s production accounted for the highest proportion, at
29.80% of the total energy production in France, while the rates of
Gas and Petro produced were slightly lower, at 29.63% and 29.27%

the total production belonged to other energy.
In 2005, the percentage of Coal witnessed an insignificant growth and
remained the highest figure in the chart, at 30.93%. The figure for Gas
and Nuclear rose slowly to 30.31% and 10.10% respectively, while
Petro’s production experienced a dramatic fall of nearly 10% to only
