ENG336 Example of a graph presentation

1. Draw attention

Let’s move on now and look at the figures for…

2. Explain

… the U.S. average price of gasoline per gallon according to 2004’s American Bureau of Labor Statistics.

As you can see, the vertical bar represents the price of the gasoline per gallon. And the horizontal bar shows the months in a year.

The overall picture of the graph swings throughout the year.

3. Highlight

Now let’s take a look at the figure more in detail. As you can see, the lowest price was at about 1.6 dollars in January. Then, the price rocketed and reached a high at approximately 2 dollars in June. Later, it went down considerably and went up again in October. After that, the price decreased again until December.

4. Conclude
In brief, the gasoline price in the U.S. fluctuated in 2004.

ENG336 Example of a pie chart presentation

1. Draw attention – Now/ I’ll show you/ this pie chart./

2. Explain - Name; overall info

- .. which is about/ favorite type/ of movie/ of Thai teenagers./

3. Highlight - Biggest; smallest sections; interesting info

- As you can see,/ the biggest section/ is romance/, and the smallest section/ is drama.// Interestingly,/ sci-fi and comedy/ has the same portion/ which is/ 20%.//

[You may add the discussions here: Why do most Thai teenagers like romantic movies?... Why do they enjoy drama the least?...]

4. Conclude - overall - //In short,/ Thai teenagers/ like watching/ romantic movies/ the most,/ and drama/ the least./
