Speaking exercise

First, we can see a pie chart. We can find/see 5 parts of this pie chart.

And then, we can see that this cart shows us how much does each country contribute to the whole idea.

Because we don’t know the title, we do not know what this pie chart is for and we do not know what number does each country represent. However, it is better to compare the percentage than just plain numbers.

The UK maybe takes up 15% of this pie chart.

We can see that raspberry pie takes up 48% of this pie chart so we can know that out of all the pies, nearly half of them are raspberry. 

So we can see that the percentage here does not represent the actual amount of the pies, but only the distribution of pies.

IN CONCLUSION / AT LAST / FINALLY…….
