The chart below shows what anthropology graduates from one university did after finishing undergraduate degree course

Hi! It's Rory here. Hope we've managed to clarify this nightmare for you.

The pie chart and associated table display information about the employment and salaries after graduation from a single university’s Anthropology course.

"We start off with a reasonable paraphrase of the task and a description of what can be seen there. Note the use of “single” in place of “one” to describe the university."

In more detail, according to the pie chart, the vast majority of graduates (just over half) were fully employed while the second highest percentage entered part-time work solely (15%). By contrast, 20% of graduates remained in full-time study or were unemployed. However, the actual percentages for all of the above were unclear as the status of 8%of the graduates was marked as “unknown”.

"We decided to divide our paragraphs between the pie chart and the table. Our first stop is the pie chart, with a variety of comparisons made, including one about the possible effects of the “unknown” sector on the other figures, which is unusual for any chart."

Of the majority of graduates who entered some kind of work (at least 72%), the majority of the highest salaries of over $100,000 were earned by the government sector workers and freelancers. An equal percentage of freelancers earned the second highest income bracket marked at $75,000 – $99,999. By contrast, the second lowest income bracket was earned by the majority of those working in private companies from $50,000 to $74,999. However, there was only a 5% difference between those who made the aforementioned salary and those who made the maximum while working for private companies (35% and 30% respectively).

"We lead in to our analysis of the table with a connection to the pie chart from before, and then delve into the columns. There are many comparisons that could be made here, but we chose the ones connected to the largest figures for each category of worker. We sequenced our ideas well with phrases like “by contrast” and “however”."

Overall, the majority of graduates entered some type of employment and of this majority the most significant percentage entered full-time positions while the minority preferred to combine studies with work. Most of the graduates who went into work earned the highest levels of income from the government and freelance sector whereas those who worked for private companies generally earned less.

"Our overall statement is rather long this time, and perhaps more detailed than it needs to be. Nonetheless, the main trends are commented on using language to connect all the ideas mentioned to the topic."
