Now, what if I'm just looking at this and 42% is too specific; I just want to be a little bit more general?
如果我看到这个觉得42%太具体了，我只是想要更笼统一点，该怎么办呢？
Well, if I don't want to be exact, I can use the words: "around", "approximately", "nearly", "close to", "roughly".
如果不想表达得很精确的话，可以使用下面这些词："around", "approximately", "nearly", "close to", "roughly"。
So, in this case, I'm not giving the exact number; I'm giving near that number.
这样的话我给出的就不是确切的数字，而是近似值。
So, instead of saying 42%, which tea is, I can change this to 40%, if I add one of these words, because it's not 40% exactly, but it's close enough.
所以，代替茶原本的比例42%，如果我加上这其中一个词，就可以把它变成40%，因为并不是确切的40%，但是足够近似了。
So, I can say: "According to the pie chart, tea accounts for around 40% of the total", or "nearly 40% of the total", "close to 40% of the total".
我可以说："According to the pie chart, tea accounts for around 40% of the total"（根据饼状图所示，茶所占比例约为40%），或者也可以用 "nearly 40% of the total"和"close to 40% of the total"。
One thing to note, here, on the IELTS spelling is very, very important.
在这里要注意的一点是，在雅思考试中，单词的拼写非常非常重要。
So, if you use the word "approximately", make sure you can spell it, because I know this is a tough word.
所以如果你们要用"approximately"，请保证自己能拼写对，因为我知道这是个很难的单词。
If you think you're going to panic and make a mistake, use "close to",
如果你们觉得自己可能会很慌，会出错，那就用"close to"，
it's easier, and not only that, but you actually get one to two words added to the word count for this, so, you could say: "close to 40%".
这更简单一些，不仅如此，你们实际上还多加了一两个字数，所以你们可以说"close to 40%"。
We could also say, if we're not being exact, we can say: "slightly above" or "just over".
如果不追求精确的话，我们还可以说："slightly above" 或"just over"（略高于）。
42% is a bit more than 40%, so, we can say: "According to the pie chart, tea accounts for slightly above 40%", or "just over 40%". Okay?
42%比40%多一点，所以我们可以说"According to the pie chart, tea accounts for slightly above 40%"（根据饼状图所示，茶所占比例略高于40%），或者用"just over 40%"也是一样的。
So, again, this shows that not only do you understand the numbers, but you're also using some very good vocabulary.
还是一样，这不仅显示出了你们很懂这些数字，也显示出了你们能使用一些很棒的词汇。
Now, imagine if I estimated a little bit higher, and I said this was...it's around 45%.
假设我估计的比例更高一些，我说这是......在45%左右。
What I can say is that: "According to the pie chart, tea accounts for slightly below 45%", or "just under 45%". Okay?
那我就可以说："According to the pie chart, tea accounts for slightly below 45%"（根据饼状图所示，茶所占比例略低于45%），或者也可以说"just under 45%"。
