You might also see a process, a diagram, or maybe even a table on the IELTS, but for today, we are only going to be focusing on pie charts.
你们在雅思考试中可能还会看到流程图、示意图，或者甚至表格，但是今天我们只关注饼状图。
Okay, so what is a pie chart? A pie chart shows us percentages.
好的，那么什么是饼状图呢？饼状图给我们展示了比例。
Okay? So, if we look down here, I have here what I spend my money on.
如果我们往下看，我在这里有一个关于我的日常开支的图。
Okay? I want you to imagine each month, all the money I make, all my salary, this is what I spend it on.
我想让你们想象一下，我每个月挣的所有的钱，我所有的薪水都花在了这些事情上。
I spend some of it on rent, I spend some of it on food, I spend some of it on transport or transportation, and I spend some of it on fun.
我在房租上花了一些钱，在食物上花了一些，在交通上花了一些，还在娱乐上花了一些。
Okay? So, on the IELTS, you might have to describe something like this.
在雅思考试中，你们可能得描述像这样的事情。
It might be more complicated, sometimes you might actually have two pie graphs or pie charts that you might have to compare and describe,
也许会更复杂一些，有时候可能实际上有两个饼状图，而你们也许得比较并描述它们，
but in this case, let's start out a little bit easier.
但是在这里，我们就从简单点的入手吧。
So, I want you to imagine you're writing the IELTS, and you've been told to describe this pie chart.
那么，我想让你们假设自己正在做雅思试卷，题目要求你们描述一下这个饼状图。
What are you going to say about it? Okay?
你们要说些什么呢？
Well, the very first thing you should do is you should think about: what does it all mean?
你们应该做的头一件事是，你们应该思考一下：这都是什么意思？
And by that, I mean: think about how much percent is each thing?
我那么说的意思是：你们要思考一下每一项的百分比是多少。
Okay? So, for example, for cost of living, how much is this? What size does this look like?
知道了吗？比如生活成本，这一项所占的比例是多少？这一块的面积看上去像多少？
Although we can't be sure, because I'm not the best artist and this is not a perfect circle, I would say this is about 50%.
虽然我们没法确定，因为我不是最好的画家，而且这也不是个完美的圆，但是我会说这大概是50%。
Okay? And this, what does it look like to you? Maybe 25%, so, food is around 25%, transport we might say...let's say 15%.
那这个呢？你们觉得这个是多少？也许25%吧，所以食物的比例是25%，交通的话......我们就说它是15%吧。
