Chart Analysis I


A.      Describing a graph about introduction to IELTS writing section 1
An introduction to IELTS shows us how to make paragraph by using graph. In this video, explains there are six possibilities or types of graph, which is used to get some information. It is Bar Graph, Line Graph, Pie Graph/Chart, Table, Flow-Chart, and Diagram. All those graphs are used to get some information and the most important thing is to understand what types of graphic, which is used for.
In this section only explains a graph, which has been explained, it is Pie Graph/Chart. Pie Chart is one of six types of graphs to get information, which is served by Pie Chart. It is bowed a cake that shows percentage of information. The characteristic of Pie Chart has slices of each slit.
B.       How to describe the graph
Actually, there are many ways to get information for example by seeing charts or graphs. In chart has many possibilities information, which is looked for. In this case, this writing discusses about the example how to describe the graph. On the following link (http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=zpwPMlGl_Ks&feature=related), it discusses about Internet usage demographics as a percentage of total internet usage in the United Kingdom. It shows how the process of change of internet users in UK.
In the chart, there are four categories of age, which included demographics of internet users. They are 15 years or more, 16-30 years, 31-49 years, 50 years or more.
Based on chart/graph above, it is be able to be defined that the value of 15 years or more category increases over the three years. For the value of older increases over the three years and it is similar of increasing of the younger. For the value of 16-30 years old, it is significant come down and probably 8% drop between 1998 until 1999, and 1% drop from 1999 until 2000. For 30-49 years old also come down, but it is not definitely as dramatically as 16-30 years old category. It looks 2% change from 1998-1999 and another 2% change from 1998-2000. So it can be described from 1998 until 2000 is gradual coming down.
After looking at the graph, it is be able to be made a paragraph. Usually, it will be two paragraphs, paragraph one contains an analyzing and paragraph two contains explanation, elaboration and summering, prediction, or comments. In paragraph one perhaps include seven sentences, each sentences contains:
·         Data type description:   mention what graph shows
·         Broad                         : mention the direction of the graph (going up or going down)
·         Minoe detail               :   describe about value in graph
·         Minoe detail               :   describe about value in graph
·         Minoe detail               :   describe about value in graph
·         Minoe detail               :   describe about value in graph
·         Conclusion                 :   resuming to data description
