Tables

Vocabulary and Phrases to Use:

• Quantitative Terms: “a majority,” “a minority,” “a fraction,” “the bulk of,” “in total,” “aggregate”
• Comparative Language: “higher than,” “lower than,” “as much as,” “half of,” “twice as many”
• Range and Extremes: “the highest value,” “the lowest figure,” “falls between,” “tops at,” “bottoms at”
• Percentages and Proportions: “accounted for,” “made up,” “constituted,” “represented”

Common Mistakes:

• Not Grouping Data Effectively: Avoid describing each data point separately. Group related information and compare categories.
• Omitting Comparative Language: Comparisons are essential in tables. Use comparative words like “more than” or “less than.”
• Failing to Mention Extremes: Highlight the table’s highest and lowest values to strengthen your analysis.

Example Sentence:

• “Sales figures for electronics reached the highest value at 55,000 units, compared to only 8,000 for clothing.”
