Схема описания "Line graph"
This line graph shows how {} changes/rises/falls with changes in {}. {omit this if it is obvious from the caption}
The x or horizontal axis is labelled {label} and is marked in units of {}, from {} to {}, at intervals of {}.
The y or vertical axis is labelled {label} and is marked in units of {}, from {} to {}, at intervals of {}.
{If axes have no scale or labels, say so, e.g. The axes are have no scales marked}
The line is {straight/curved/irregular} and starts at {describe position and describe movement}
This {peak/trough/position} is labelled {label}.
The general trend is {upwards/downwards}.
{If the context requires numerical values not given in the main text, read them. If the graph is hard to read accurately, say so.}
Reading the values from the graph at {value of intervals on independent axis, usually x}, estimating to the nearest whole number: {include tabular information as a table in a Word document}
{Include any additional information essential for answering SAQs etc.}
{The values marked on the graph are given in {} in the text.}
Схема описания "Scatter graph"
This scatter graph shows how {} changes/varies with changes in {}.
The {x/horizontal} axis is labelled {label} and is marked in units of {}, from {} to {}, at intervals of {}.
The {y/vertical axis} is labelled {label} and is marked in units of {}, from {} to {}, at intervals of {}.
{If axes have no scale or labels, say so, e.g. The axes are have no scales marked}
The points {show a general trend/do not show any pattern}
The general trend is {upwards/downwards}.
The width of the scatter is approximately {}
{If the context requires numerical values not given in the main text, read them. If the graph is hard to read accurately, say so.}
{Include any additional information essential for answering SAQs etc.}
The values marked on the graph are given in {} in the text.
Схема описания "Bar chart"
This {horizontal/vertical} {stacked/grouped} bar chart shows {}
The {vertical/horizontal} scale is runs from {} to {} {units} and is marked at intervals of {}
The bars from {left to right/top to bottom} are labelled
{Describe variations from simple chart}
The chart shows clearly that {main trends etc.}
Reading values from the chart {...}
