How to describe charts?

[Sung_Tung]

Do you know any website to learn how to describe charts? Thanks

[Torsten]

Do mean describing sales figures and trends such as 'it went down by 3%', 'it's been increasing for 5 months', 'sales took a sharp dip', etc?

Yes, I do. I've searched for many sources but haven't yet to find any good ones. Can you show me a website with lots of figures so that I can pratise writing? Thanks a lot.

[Torsten]

What exactly do you want to practice? Basically, figures and stales can do three things:
- go up
- go down
- stay stable

What else do you need?

Hi Torsten
As far as I am aware, it is a part of writing section on IELTS (Academic version) test.
A bar chart (bar graph) will be given to IELTS candidates then they are expected to describe it.
Like these:

However, I don't know what Sung_Tung wants to find? maybe some samples...!?
