Study Node - Making Comparisons:When describing
information presented in graphs, tables or pie charts, it is necessary to use
language specifying amount, and the language of comparison.
In specifying amount the use of per cent and percentage is important because
visual data is commonly presented in this form.
Of equal importance is the use of comparative language, making the description
of the visual data meaningful, and meeting the requirements of the IELTS Writing
task.

the data in graphs, tables or pie charts.
Statements describing trends in must be supported by examples, and taken from
the information supplied in the IELTS question.

‘percentage’, and comparative language.
