RNE 38.2 — Project based on a pie chart
Required length: 200–250 words.
Suggested practice target: 220–240 words.
Use five paragraphs: introduction → facts → comparison and comment → problem and solution → opinion and explanation. The task asks for 2–3 facts and 1–2 comparisons; one well-explained comparison is sufficient.
Replace every square-bracketed placeholder and count the words after filling in the template. This is a framework, not a finished response of the required length.
Copy-ready template
I am doing a project on [PROJECT TOPIC]. I have found the results of a survey conducted among [SURVEY GROUP]. The data are presented in a pie chart.
According to the chart, when asked about [SURVEY FOCUS], [A]% of the respondents chose “[OPTION A]”, making it the most popular answer. Only [B]% selected “[OPTION B]”, while [C]% chose “[OPTION C]”.
The option “[OPTION D]” was more popular than “[OPTION E]” ([D]% and [E]%, respectively). This may be because [EXPLANATION OF THE DIFFERENCE].
One problem that can arise with [ACTIVITY OR SITUATION FROM THE FOURTH BULLET] is [PROBLEM]. This can lead to [CONSEQUENCE]. To address this issue, [WHO] should [PRACTICAL SOLUTION].
In conclusion, I believe that [OPINION ANSWERING THE FINAL BULLET]. The main reason is that [EXPLAIN AND DEVELOP YOUR REASON].
How to fill it in
Introduction
Keep the project topic, country, and survey group accurate. For example, teenagers in Zetland must not become all people in Zetland. Write that you found the survey results, not that you conducted the survey yourself.
Facts
For this template, use the highest percentage for A, the lowest for B, and another result for C. Compare the remaining two options as D and E, putting the higher result first. This is a convenient arrangement, not an additional exam requirement. Adapt the wording when the actual data do not fit it.
The survey focus means what respondents were actually asked about, such as their reasons for playing chess. Keep this connection explicit rather than presenting the percentages as unrelated facts.
Comparison and comment
Explain the difference between the two results rather than merely saying that the results are interesting.
For the comparison in the supplied chess example, a possible explanation is:
Teenagers may value problem-solving skills more because these skills help them with schoolwork.
This is a possible interpretation, not something established by the survey. Keep tentative wording such as “This may be because…”.
Problem and solution
Read the fourth bullet separately. It may ask about something broader than the chart topic. Your problem must match that bullet, and the proposed solution must address the problem you identify.
Opinion and explanation
Answer the fifth bullet rather than simply repeating a general opinion about the project. Explain and develop your reason.
Length
For practice, aim for 220–240 words. This is a suggested target, not an additional exam requirement. Expand the explanation, solution, or reasoning when necessary, not the introductory filler. Count the completed response after replacing every placeholder.
