How to describe a graph/chart for your PBL
project

Introduce the graph/chart

Give an overview

Make a conclusion
Introduce the graph/pie chart
Internet users aged 16 methods of accessing
internet at home and in other place
Begin with one or two sentences that state
what the graph/chart shows.
“This graph shows the results of a survey in
which people aged 16 were asked about their
preferred devices for accessing the internet.
Participants mentioned four main devices in
their answers; a smartphone, a laptop, a
tablet and a desktop computer.”
Give an overview

Describe the key findings shown in the chart.

“From the pie chart it is clear that the majority of

the participants prefer to use smartphones and
laptops, with just three percent difference between
the two. Nearly a third of the participants prefer to
go online with a smartphone. Thirty percent like to
use a laptop. A desktop computer accounts for
fourteen percent of users’ preferred devices. Only a
small minority prefer a device other than these main
four.”
Make a conclusion

“In conclusion, since mobile and portable devices

are the most popular choices, it is clear that many
participants are accessing the internet outside their
homes. The desktop computer is the least popular of
the four main devices.

In future, we can probably expect to see more and

more people, especially teenagers accessing the
internet with smartphones as their preferred
choice.”
