So now that you know how to write the specific details, for trend graphs, we're now going to look at how to write the specific details for comparative graphs. So in this video, I'll take you through several different practice questions to show you exactly how it's done. So here's our first practice question. We have a comparative bar graph here. You've seen this question before, when we wrote our introduction and the overview in previous videos, so I won't be going over this question prompt here. However, if you need to read this question prompt again, then you can simply pause the video and do so.

So let's move on to writing the specific details. So the process of writing the specific details is exactly the same no matter which type of infographic you get. So similar to the trend graphs, in the comparative graphs, you also have to split your infographic into two halves. So let's go ahead and do that. In our third paragraph, we're going to be talking about these data points here, we're only going to be talking about cars and computers. So let's take a look at our first sentence.

Categorically. The French population spent 400,000 pounds on cars, while the British exceeded this expense by about 70,000 pounds. So here, we're saying that the French population spent 400,000 pounds on cars, whereas the British population exceeded this amount by about 70,000. So the UK spent about 70,000 pounds more on cars than France. Notice that here we've used the word while to form a complex sentence. So whenever you're comparing two different data points, you can use subordinating conjunctions such as while whereas and so on.

To form complex sentences. Now let's look at our second sentence. In our second sentence, we're talking about computers. On the other hand, the French spent a total of about 380,000 pounds on computers, which was 30,000 pounds more than what the British spent. So here, we're simply describing the spending of France on computers, which is about 380,000 pounds. And we're also stating this specific detail, which is the spending for UK.

So we're saying that the UK spent about 30,000 pounds less than what the French spent. So in this paragraph, I've decided to talk about cars first, and then I've talked about computers in the second sentence. However, the arrangement of the information is completely up to you. If you want to talk about computers first and cars next, that's also fine. Let's move on to our fourth paragraph. Now.

For the fourth paragraph, we're going to be looking at the second half of our infographic. So in the second half, we're going to be talking about books, perfume on cameras. So let's take a look at the first sentence of our fourth paragraph. Moving on to other categories, France invested 300,000 pounds in books, whereas the British invested a little over 400,000 pounds. So here in our first sentence, we're talking about books. We're saying that France invested 300,000 pounds in books, whereas the UK spent just a little bit over 400,000.

So notice that since we're estimating the number here, we're using the phrase a little over two Maintain accuracy. Now in our second sentence, we're going to talk about perfume. In terms of perfume, France expanded 200,000 pounds, while Britain was closed behind. So here we're saying that France spent 200,000 pounds on perfume, whereas the British spent a little bit less Britain was close behind. Now let's look at our final sentence, in which we're going to talk about cameras. Lastly, the UK spent nearly 370,000 pounds on cameras, while France only spent about 150,000 pounds.

So again, we're simply describing the data points here. We're saying that the UK spent nearly 370,000 pounds. Notice that we are estimating this number. So that's why we're saying merely to maintain accuracy. So the UK spent nearly 370,000 pounds on cameras, whereas the French only spent about 150,000. So now that we've described all the data points in the second half of our infographic, our fourth paragraph is now complete.

And with that, our entire task one essay for this comparative bar graph question is also complete. Since we've already written the introduction and the overview in previous videos, and we've written the third and the fourth paragraph in this video, our task one essay for this practice question is now complete. So it's time to move on to our next example. Here we have a comparative table. You've seen this question before, as well, when we wrote the introduction and the overview. So now let's move on to writing the specific details.

So again, we follow the same process, we have to split this table into two halves. Now you're completely free to split this table in any way that you want. If you want to split this table horizontally like this, then you can do that. Or if you want to split this table vertically, then you can do that as well. So in my example, I'm going to split this table vertically. So in my third paragraph, I'm going to talk about these two columns.

And in my fourth paragraph, I'll talk about this column. Now, if you want, it's also fine to discuss just this column in the third paragraph and talk about these two columns in the fourth paragraph. You can do that as well. Remember, you're completely free to arrange this information in any way that you see fit. The important thing here is to describe the important data points in the two halves. Have your infographic.

So let's go ahead and take a look at our third paragraph. Here's our first sentence regarding food, drinks and tobacco. Turkey was the highest spender at 32 point 14%, followed by arland 28.91%. On Spain 18.8%. So in this sentence, we're describing all the highest data points for this category. We're saying that Turkey was the highest spender at 32.14%, followed by Ireland, meaning that Ireland was the second highest spender at 28.91% and Spain was the third highest spender at 18.8%.

So here, we're simply describing the top three data points for food drinks. on tobacco. Now in our second sentence, we're going to be describing the lowest data points. So we're going to talk about Italy, on Sweden, Italy and Sweden spent 16.36% on 15.77%, respectively. So here, we're simply describing the lowest data points by saying that Italy spent 16.36% on Sweden spent 15.77%. Now in our next sentence, we're going to be describing the performance for this category, clothing and footwear.

So first, we're going to be describing the highest and the lowest data points. So here's our sentence. Considering clothing and footwear, Italy spent more than any other country 9% as opposed to the lowest expenditure, which is visible in Sweden at 5.4%. So here, we're simply describing the highest data point and the lowest data point. Now in our final sentence, we're going to be describing the remaining data points. The other three nations spent an average of about 6.5% each.

So here, what we've done is we've simply combined the data points for Ireland, Spain, and Turkey, because we only have about five minutes to write the third paragraph. So for that reason, we're going to keep our final sentence really short by simply combining these countries. So here, we've just taken an estimated average, notice that this 6.5% is not an exact average. It's about 6.5%. So with that, our third paragraph is now complete. We've talked about every single data point for these two categories.

Now, it's time to talk about our final category, which is leisure and education. So let's move on to our fourth paragraph and write the first sentence. Moving on to leisure and education. Turkey invested 4.35%, followed by Sweden, which invested 3.22%. So in this sentence, we're talking about the two highest data point, which belong to Turkey and Sweden. So turkey spent 4.35% and Turkey was followed by Sweden, which was the second highest spender at three point 22%.

Now in our next sentence, we're going to be describing these remaining data points, Italy Ireland and Spain expended a total of 3.2% 2.21% and 1.98% respectively. So here we're saying that Italy spent 3.2%. Ireland spent two point 21% on Spain spent 1.98%. Remember that whenever we use the word respectively, it means that the part that comes before in the sentence is directly related to the part that comes after in the sentence. So the word respectively also shows us the order of the information. So in this sentence, here's our order.

3.2% Is referring to Italy. 2.21% is referring to Ireland and 1.98% is referring to Spain. So if you want to state a list of data points in a particular order, then the word respectively can be really useful. So since we've talked about all the data points in our final category, our fourth paragraph is now complete. And with that, our task one essay for the comparative table practice question is also complete. So we've written the introduction and the overview in previous videos.

And in this video, we finished the third and the fourth paragraph for specific details. Now let's move on to our next example. This time we have a pie charts question. In this question, we're going to be comparing these two pie charts here. So again, you're completely free to split this information in any way that you want. For example, if you want, you can talk about the first pie chart in the third paragraph.

And you can talk about this second pie chart. In the fourth paragraph, on the other hand, you can also split this information like this. So for example, in the third paragraph, you can talk about heating, water heating, and other appliances. And then in the fourth paragraph, you can talk about the remaining energy sources. So feel free to choose whatever is more convenient for you. In my example, I'm going to be splitting this information by energy sources.

So let's go ahead and take a look at our third paragraph. Upon a closer look, it is evident that heating contributes to about two fifths of the total energy consumed in Australian homes, while only leading to 15% in greenhouse emissions, making it the least detrimental category. So in this sentence, we're First talking about heating, we're saying that heating contributes to about two fifths of the total energy. Notice that instead of saying 42%, we're saying two fifths to show off our vocabulary. If you want, you can also just write 42%. That's fine.

But if you want, you can also describe this number as a fraction. So hitting contribute to about two fifths of the total energy consumed in Australian homes and heating also releases the least greenhouse gas emissions, which is only 15%. So this makes heating the least detrimental category. Now, you may be wondering that there are data points which are lower than 15. So how can we say that heating is the least detrimental category? Well, the reason for this is that if you look at the record ratio of the energy use to the gas emissions, you'll find that heating has the best ratio.

For example, cooling here has the lowest data point, the greenhouse gas emissions are only 3%. However, here you can see that for every 2% of energy use, it contributes 3% to gas emissions. So when we look at which energy source is the least detrimental, we have to look at which energy source has the best ratio. Here's another example. Here we see that 4% of the energy is used for lighting. However, for every 4% of energy use, it contributes to 8% of greenhouse gas emissions.

So this means that lighting is polluting the environment in exactly double The proportion. So I hope that's clear for you. So for that reason, we're saying that heating is the least detrimental category. So we've talked about heating in our first sentence. Now we're going to talk about water heating, followed by heating, his water heating, consuming up to one third of the energy and leading to 32% of the hazardous emission. So here we're saying that following heating, meaning that the next highest data point is for water heating.

So instead of saying that water heating uses 30% of the energy, we're describing it as a fraction, we're saying up to one third of the energy. So again, we're not saying that it's consuming exactly one third, we're saying it's consuming up to one third. So meaning that it can be a little bit less which it is, since one third is 33%. And here, our data point is 30%. Now in this sentence, we're also saying that water heating contributes to 32% of the hazardous emission. So the hazardous emission that we're talking about is the greenhouse gas.

Now, so far, we've talked about heating. We've talked about water heating, and now we have to talk about other appliances. So here's our final sentence. Finally, unspecified appliances consume 15% of the energy while emitting almost a quarter of the total greenhouse gas. So instead of saying other appliances, we're using a synonym here. We're saying unspecified appliances.

Consume 15% of the energy while At the same time emitting almost a quarter of the total greenhouse gas. So a quarter is 25%. So we're saying almost a quarter. So 28% is close to 25%. So we're saying that unspecified appliances contribute to about a quarter of the greenhouse gas emissions that we can see in this entire pie chart. So now our third paragraph is complete.

Let's move on to our fourth paragraph. This time, we're going to be talking about cooling lighting on refrigeration. So here's the first sentence. Surprisingly, refrigerator and lighting, only use 7% and 4% of the total energy respectively, but pollute in precisely double the proportion. So here, we're Saying that lighting and refrigeration are the most detrimental categories. Because refrigeration and lighting only use seven and 4% of the total energy.

However, they pollute the environment in exactly double the amount. So in this sentence, we've talked about lighting and refrigeration. So in our next sentence, we're going to talk about cooling. Finally, cooling expense, the least power in Australian homes are just 2% and also account for the lowest percentage of total greenhouse emissions at 3%. But it to pollutes in a higher proportion than the energy it utilizes. So here we're saying that cooling uses the least amount of energy in Australian homes, and although cooling accounts for the lowest percentage of the total green House emissions that are listed here, it is still detrimental to the environment, because it also pollutes in a higher proportion than the energy it utilizes.

So it only utilizes 2%. But it pollute in a higher proportion at 3%. So now that we've described the second half of our infographic, our fourth paragraph is now complete. And with that, our task one essay for this pie charts question is also complete. Now, we're going to move on to our final example for the comparative graph questions. So here, we have a mixed charts question.

You've seen this question before as well when we wrote the introduction and the overview. So now, let's write the specific details. So first, we're going to split this infographic into two halves. The easiest Way to split this is to talk about the pie chart in the third paragraph and talk about the table in the fourth paragraph. So first, let's look at our third paragraph. in detail.

Overgrazing represented the primary cause of global land depletion at more than a third, followed by deforestation and over cultivation, which accounted for 30% and 28%. of land damage, respectively. So here, we're describing the top three data points. We're saying that overgrazing was the leading cause of land degradation at 35% followed by deforestation at 30%, meaning that deforestation was the second highest contributor and the third highest contributor was over cultivation at 28%. Notice that here, we've decided to describe this data point as the fraction. We're saying that it contributed to more than a third of land degradation.

Now, let's talk about this data point here. unspecified causes. were responsible for the remaining proportion of worldwide land deterioration at 7%. So here, instead of saying other, we're using a synonym on specified causes, and we're saying that these unspecified causes were responsible for the remaining land degradation, or in our case, we've used the word deterioration, which is a synonym, that means the same thing. So now that we've talked about every single data point in our pie chart, our third paragraph is now complete. So let's move on to our fourth paragraph.

This time, we're going to be talking about the table. So let's begin. Conversely, causes of land damage varied significantly between regions. So here, we're just making a very general statement that the amount of land damage was different depending on the region. Europe was the most affected region with nearly a quarter of its land degraded 9.8% from deforestation 7.7% from over cultivation, and 5.5% from overgrazing. So here, we've simply described all the data points in the parentheses.

So if you want, it's okay to describe the data points in the parentheses. But make sure that you don't overuse this. It's better to show the examiner that you know how to describe the data points in memory. Different ways. So now that we've described the data points for Europe, let's move on to our next sentence. Here we're going to be talking about the data points for Oceania.

Oceania also underwent substantial land decline, primarily due to overgrazing. So here, we're saying that Oceania also underwent substantial land degradation. However, the main cause of the land degradation experienced by Oceania was due to overgrazing, which contributed to 11.3% of total land degradation. Now, we're going to move on to our final region, which is North America. So here's our sentence. Finally, North America had the smallest ratio of land degradation with a total of only 5% out of which three points 3% was caused by over cultivation and 1.5% by overgrazing.

So in this sentence, we're saying that North America experienced the smallest amount of land degradation, with a total of only 5%, out of which, over cultivation was responsible for 3.3%. And overgrazing, was responsible for 1.5%. So now that we've talked about all the important data points in our table, our fourth paragraph is now complete. And with that, our task one essay for this mixed charts question is also complete. As a general rule, you should try to describe all the data points in your graph or your chart. However, if you don't have the time, then you have to prioritize which data points are the most important and just describe Those important data points.

So we're going to end our video here. I hope that writing the specific details for comparative graphs is now clear to you. In the next video, I'll show you how to write the specific details for process diagrams. So I'll see you there
