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
child 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 soup
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 that date in English try using
some of these phrases well that's it for
charts and graphs to recap on any
