・ BAR GRAPH

There are two types of bar graphs that appear in the exam- vertical and horizontal bar graphs.

You have to begin the description of a bar graph by stating the name of the topic, exactly as it appears on the
graph. In the second and third sentences, you may state the highest and lowest figures on the graph, in any order.
Next, you can talk about any similarities, big differences or any other significant features that can be seen clearly in
the graph.

Sample Describe Image Template:

This horizontal/vertical bar graph depicts the information regarding .… The data is presented/calibrated in .... tis
crystal clear from the graph that … has the highest....., ot ..., whereas, .... has the lowest, roughly .... Apart from that,
eae and … have almost similar number of ...., approximately .... In conclusion/Overall it can be seen that......

There are basically 3 types of line graphs that appear in the exam- single line, parallel line, and cross/multiple line
graphs.

In line graph tasks, describing “trends” is of utmost importance. You can divide the description of each line graph
into 3 parts: the starting value, the middle value and the final value.

It may help to make use of vocabulary such as:
“the figures fluctuated between .... an

“the figures rose sharply to reach a peak of .....”
“the number gradually declined to reach a low of
“it gradually rose, peaking at

“the number eventually decreased/increased to ..

“after several ups and downs, it touched a peak/low of -

Sample Describe Image Template:

This line graph highlights the … over a period of … from .… to .... The number was highest in .... at ...., and the
number gradually declined, to reach a low of ..... in ..... On the other hand, at....., the number of ..... was the lowest in
… and it gradually rose, peaking at …, and eventually decreased to ..... In conclusion/Overall, it can be seen that ....

Pyramid

n Pyramid-based tasks, you only have to read out text that you see in the pyramid. The heading/title can mostly be
found i in the middle of the pyramid. It is a multi-level image, with a number of items under each level. As we go from
oottom to top, the number of items progressively decreases. For describing pyramids, you have to start from the

bottom level and work your way to the top.
Sample Describe Image Template:

The given pyramid outlines
The next level showcases

At the lowest level, the ... are the major factors that .… Thereafter, .... At the third level,
inally, at the top of the pyramid,

・ PIE CHART

This is one of the easiest images to describe, with each slice of the pie chart corresponding to a value, you can
simply mention the highest and lowest figures and any other significant feature that can be seen very clearly in the
pie chart.

Sample Describe Image Template:

The slices of the pie chart illustrate ...... The data is presented in form of ..... It is crystal clear from the pie chart that
the lion's share of ..... is covered by ....., followed by .… Moreover, … However, the smallest part is covered/occupied
by … In conclusion/ Overall, it can be said that...

the first step/stage, ..... Furthermore, it’s transformed/developed/converted into … After sometime/In the next stage,
it is further converted/developed/transformed into ..... Finally, ....

Map

Being familiar with the names of countries makes it easier to describe images based on maps. If you are unable to
memorize the names of all the countries, try to memorize the names of at least those countries that appear
regularly in the news. In case you forget the names, it may help to use terms like Northern countries, Western
countries, etc.

Sample Describe Image Template:

The given map shows .... among different countries. To begin with, countries in the West such as … and some parts
of ..... are ...., followed by countries in the East such as .… On the other hand, developed and developing countries
such as … and adjacent countries are .... Finally, in .... and at the centre of the map, .... Overall, it can be seen that
the majority of areas in .....
