You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.My writingThe chart shows the main rationals for adolescents in an African nation using their mobile phones between 2016 and 2019. There is a small difference in the rest of the years except 2019.In general, the action that teenagers use their smartphones in order to access social media takes the largest portion of the pie chart, that is to say, it takes more than half of the percentage. It increases as time passes, from 50% in 2016 to 56% in 2019. However, there is a slight decrease of 48% in 2017.The second most major is the usage of phones for sending and receiving emails. It hits the peak in 2016 with 25% and narrow the percentage down by 24%, 20%, 19% respectively. It seems like there is a prevailing trend of using smartphones to selfie with digital cameras from 2016 to 2019. The percentage stays the same in 2016 and 2017 and has a little development in 2018 with 18% and 2019 with 20%.

hayley2601The chart shows the main rationals for adolescents in an African nation using their mobile phones between 2016 and 2019.

That is a poor opening.

1) You did not write what kind of chart, or that there is more than one.

2. "rationals" is incorrect.
3. 'between 2016 and 2019" means that there is one chart which combines data from this range of years.

hayley2601There is a small difference in the rest of the years except 2019

That makes no sense.

Here is a guide to answering this task. First, you have to understand the figures, in this case, four pie charts.

The "whole" of each pie chart is all the results from the survey of one particular year. For example, if 50,000 teenagers answered the survey in 2016, the "whole" of that pie chart is 50,000 survey answers. If 100,000 teenagers answered the survey in 2017, then the "whole" is 100,000 survey answers.

So what was the survey? It had one question and four check boxes. The question was: "What function do you use on your phone the most?" The check boxes were "social networking", "emailing", taking pictures" and "calling". Each person could pick only one check box.

Here are different ways to write the opening paragraph. Although the wording is different, they all give a complete description of the pie charts and have all the necessary information for the body paragraphs.

Opening paragraph #1

The four pie charts, labeled each year from 2016 through 2019, break down the primary usage of mobile phones reported by teens in an African country. There were four choices: social networking, email, phone calls and taking photos.

Opening paragraph #2

The pie charts show the results of four surveys of teenagers of an African country concerning the primary way they use their mobile phones. Surveys were done each year between 2016 and 2019, and participants could choose one from these four categories: social networking, email, phone calls and taking photos.

Opening paragraph #3

A survey was conducted each year between 2016 and 2019, of teenagers in an African country, asking them for the single most important use of their mobile phone. They had four options: social networking, email, phone calls and taking photos. The pie charts show the percentages for each option.

Opening paragraph #4

The pie charts compare the responses from a questionnaire asking teens in an African country what the primary use of their mobile phone was. Each participant could pick one of these: social networking, email, phone calls and taking photos. Results were compiled annually from 2016 to 2019.
