Task 1:Useful Language for Pie Charts II PDF Print E-mail

The good thing about using phrases to show proportion is that you can give the examiner a very clear idea of what the chart looks like even if there are no figures included in the data. For example:  

Useful Language for Pie Charts

You could write: "The majority of dishes sold were Kow Pad Moo at around one-third of all sales. Kow Pad Goong and Kow Pad Gai accounted for just over and just under one-quarter of sales respectively. Finally, only a few dishes of Kow Pad American were sold."

Useful language:

a few a small/large proportion of  
a fair amount of
the (vast/great) majority of  
one quarter
(around/about) one-third
 (just under/over) a half three-quarters

Tip: Don't overuse the phrases - only use them when it is necessary.
