SAMPLE 1-Example: The given pie chart shows the data on hobbies of students during
summer vacations. Write an analytical paragraph in 100–120 words to analyse the data.
The pie chart illustrates five different types of hobbies that students took up during the summer vacation.
It is clear from the pie chart that 34 percent of the students preferred dance, which secured a majority.
27 percent of students who contributed to photography preferred the second highest proportion. Singing
is at the third place preferred by 19 percent of the students and playing at the fourth position in which
13 percent of the students have shown interest. The last group is yoga as only 7 percent of the students
liked hobbies. It was the least favourite hobby of the students.
We can guess that during the summer vacations, the students chose dancing the most. Yoga was the most
widely accepted option while it was the least taken up hobby.
SAMPLE 2: The chart shows the division of household tasks by gender in Great Britain. Write
an analytical paragraph describing the chart given in not more than 200 words.
The chart shows the number of minutes per day spent by British men and women in
doing household tasks. On an average, the women spend about four hours doing
household tasks whereas the men spend less than two and half hours.
The tasks on which women spend more time than men include cooking, cleaning house, taking
care of the children and laundry. In doing all these tasks, women spend approximately 200
minutes which is almost three times the time spent by men in these tasks. On the other hand,
men spend twice the time than women in doing tasks like gardening and maintenance of odd
jobs in the house. Men spend the highest time, almost 50 minutes, in gardening and petcare.
While the women spend only 30 minutes for these tasks. The time spent by men in washing,
ironing and sewing clothes is as low as 2 minutes per day as opposed to 25 minutes spent by
women. In short, women spend far more time doing household chores than men whilst men
prefer to do gardening, pet care and maintaining odd jobs.
