- Hello everyone and welcome back to Keep it English. Do you ever have to analyze data in English?
- Maybe not now, but one day it is possible that you will have to give a presentation using charts and data in English.
- If that day arrives, no problem. You will be prepared because in this lesson we're going to talk about chart vocabulary.
- There are four types of charts and graphs. These are a pie chart,
- which is called this because it looks a bit like something you can eat, a bar graph, because we use bars,
- a line graph, look, lines, and a scatter graph, which uses dots.
- Note that with the last three diagrams, we use the word graph and not chart. But how do we speak about the data? Let's talk about this chart about sales
- of tomato soup in 2017. Well, first of all, your chart or graph uses two lines called axes.
- There is an X axis and a Y axis. If the line or bar is going up, then you can say that tomato soup sales are
- increasing or growing. If it's going down, then it is decreasing or falling.
- The highest point is called a peak. For example, we reached peak tomato the sales in the third quarter of 2017.
- The lowest point is normally only called the lowest point. If the line is going up, you can also say that the company is experiencing
- steady growth. For example, we saw a steady growth in tomato soup sales throughout 2017.
- This is called a sharp fall or drop. For example, however, tomato sales fell sharply or dropped sharply at the beginning of the
- new year. Another word we use is trend. Trend means a change or development in a
- general direction. This graph indicates that there was an upward trend in tomato soup sales in
- 2017 until the new year when there was a sharp downward trend.
- So, next time you have to speak about data in English, try using some of these phrases.
- Well, that's it for charts and graphs. To recap on any information from this lesson, go to lesson notes below. See you next time.
