A chart description reports the important patterns in visual information. Start by identifying the subject, group, time and unit. Select the largest or smallest categories, clear comparisons and any major trend. Use exact figures when they support a point, but do not list every number without organising it. A static comparison and a change over time need different language.
Distinguish a percentage from a percentage-point difference. If a value rises from 20 percent to 30 percent, the difference is ten percentage points. A chart can show a relationship without proving its cause. Do not invent explanations absent from the task. Use the past tense for finished dates and an appropriate present form for a current table. Check totals and labels before writing so that a fluent paragraph does not report the wrong group.

A process account explains how something happens or is done.
Identify the starting point, main stages and final result, then arrange them in a logical sequence.
Use present simple for a general repeated process.
See it. Say it. Understand it.

A process account follows the transformation or stages from start to finish.
Moderate / Add a little
Present simple describes a repeated procedure; the passive can emphasise the materials.

A process account explains how something happens or is done. Identify the starting point, main stages and final result, then arrange them in a logical sequence. Use present simple for a general repeated process. The passive can be useful when materials or stages matter more than a named operator. Sequencing expressions should clarify the order, and cause-and-effect links explain why a step matters.
Do not confuse a process description with instructions directed at the reader. An instruction may use an imperative, while a description normally explains what happens. Include quantities or conditions only when they are known and relevant. A missing stage can make an otherwise fluent account misleading. Before writing, sketch the sequence and check what changes at each stage, then choose language that represents those changes accurately.

A presentation guides listeners through information they cannot easily reread.
State the central message, organise a small number of sections and explain how they connect.
A visual should support a point rather than display every sentence you intend to say.
See it. Say it. Understand it.
Easy / Start here
A visual supports a point but should not replace its explanation.
Moderate / Add a little
Listeners need a clear link between each figure and the presentation's main message.

A presentation guides listeners through information they cannot easily reread. State the central message, organise a small number of sections and explain how they connect. A visual should support a point rather than display every sentence you intend to say. Describe any chart or image clearly enough for listeners to understand why it matters. Keep claims supported by the information available.
Use transitions to show where you are in the explanation, but avoid reading headings without developing them. Rehearse with a realistic time limit and allow space for questions. When a question is unclear, check its meaning before answering. If you do not know the answer, say what you can confirm and what needs checking. Evaluate both the information and delivery: attractive slides do not replace an accurate, well-organised explanation.
