Describing graph (figures or charts)

I have written some notes about graph and how to write report to a teacher. Following article have a goal to improve your knowledge when you need to discuss or write about this. This article will be little different, I will write about synonyms for usual words and vocabulary. So lets start.

Many people have problems with repeating one words in one article. You can use synonyms. Here are some similar vocabulary.

Show – refer / depict / describe / telling us / identify / illustrate / replace / give information / provide (information or data) / reveal

Increase – grow(ing)/rise/soar/incline/improve
Decrease – fall(ing)/drop/decline

Vocabulary:

Horisontal (side to side)
Vertical (up to down)
to compare – to identify similarities
to contrast – to identify differences
Diagonal

Contrast maker

Although / Inspite of / despite / however / on the other hand / conversely /
on the contrary

Pie charts

We start describing pie charts on the top and go down right. The chart starts usually from the biggest sector(part) and finisches with the smallest.

3 ways how to describe graph
- show(v) + noun + prepositional phrases
- show(v) + noun + relatives slause
- show(v) + question word + clause

You can sometimes need convert adverbs to adjectives in describing
Adverb -> Adjective
constantly – constant
steadily – steady
rapidly – rapid
dramatically – dramatic
signitificantly – significant
gradually – gradual
sharply – sharp

Paraphrasing

Paraphrasing is useful skill, studying in IELTS to write the essay questions in others words. But this knowledge people could use in many different ways, especially with the Internet, if we copy some information and we need write it in our words. Let’s have a look to paraphrasing and its four main points.

1. Words

First way is simply to change single words:

• • Synonyms                         globally – worldwide
  • Antonyms                        common – no uncommon
  • Part of whole                    in all other.. – not only in… (depends on a meaning)

This point is about combine or spilt sentences. For example:

Santa Clause is old. Santa Clause has a beard. -> Santa clause is old and has a  beard.

These information became from my notes from IELTS course, where i have studied English. Because I have couple interesting notes, i would like to explain it here. On the end this is for me repeating of this knowledge. If you have something to tell, like mistake, comments write it in comments.

Planovani (nejen IELTS) eseje

Rad bych se s Vami podelil o dobrou praktiku, planovani, jak si dat myslenky dohromady a napsat esej, clanek a podobne.

Plan je zalozeny na tom, ze esej obsahuje: introduction, main body – tri paragrafy a conclusion. Plan je prizpusobeny na 250 slov (jen 3 paragrafy) coz je minimum pro IELTS essay. Plane je v anglictine a je zalozeny na sablone kterou jsem dostal a trochu prepracoval. Pokud bude veliky zajem tak to i prelozim do cestiny.

Planovani clanku Vam muze pomoci i ve sposte situaci, nejen pri psani IELTS eseje (250 slov za 40 minut). JE to zaroven dobry brainstorming pro dane dilo.
