Charts and graphs represent a series of data but they are different from each other. Graphs are mainly used to represent variation in values over a period of time. Charts are used to give information about the frequency of different quantities in a single pictorial representation.<\/p>\n

To describe a pie chart we should specify the information (content) and proportion of each segment, which can be measured in percentages (%) or fractions (e.g. one-third, a quarter).<\/p>\n

Following is a brief description of the students’preferences.<\/p>\n We can see that a majority of students played interactive games, which rank the first at 30%. Fiction e-books line in the second at 20%, and are at 10% less than interactive games. Online magazines rank the third at 18% while non-fiction e-books account for 15%. Online dictionaries are the fifth library resource at 11%. Only a minority of students, or 6%, used science journals, which is the least popular of all resources, and used fivefold less than the most preferred resource, interactive games.<\/p>\n To conclude, the dominant form of online resources used by the students at Intel Secondary School Library is interactive games. Of all the other resources – fiction e-books, online magazines, non-fiction e-books, online dictionaries and science journals – students used science journals the least.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1.\u00a0Work in pairs.
