圓餅圖（Pie chart）跟表格（Table）合起來佔 Task 1 約 20%。兩者題目差很多，但描述語言可以共用——都靠比例表達（accounts for / makes up / proportion of）。
圓餅圖的三種變化
- 單一圓餅：最少見。描述各片比例。
- 兩個圓餅對比：常見——通常是兩個時間點 or 兩個國家。重點是對比。
- 三個以上圓餅：找共同趨勢 + 例外。
表格的兩種變化
- 單純數值表：當長條圖寫，挑最大/最小比較。
- 多維度表（年份 × 類別）：當折線圖寫，描述趨勢。
比例詞彙（兩種題型共用）
| 高比例 (>50%) | 中比例 (20-50%) | 低比例 (<20%) | |---------------|------------------|----------------| | the majority of | a significant proportion | a small minority | | over half | around a third / quarter | less than one in ten | | accounts for more than | makes up about | constitutes just |

題目：Two pie charts compare how a family budget was spent in 1990 and 2020.
The two pie charts compare how an average household allocated its monthly budget across six categories in 1990 and 2020.
Overall, the largest shifts occurred in housing and technology: the proportion spent on housing rose substantially, while the share devoted to entertainment fell, reflecting changing priorities over thirty years.
In 1990, food accounted for the largest portion of household spending at 32%, followed closely by housing at 28%. Transport (14%), entertainment (10%), clothing (10%), and savings (6%) made up the remainder.
By 2020, housing had overtaken food to become the biggest expense at 40%, while food had dropped to just 22%. A new category — technology and subscriptions — had emerged, consuming 12% of the budget. Entertainment, meanwhile, had fallen sharply to only 4%, and savings had declined marginally to 5%. Transport and clothing remained broadly stable at around 12% and 9% respectively.

題目：The table shows average internet speeds (Mbps) in four countries in 2015 and 2023.
The table presents a comparison of average broadband internet speeds, measured in megabits per second, across four countries — Singapore, South Korea, the United States, and Brazil — over an eight-year period from 2015 to 2023.
Overall, connection speeds improved dramatically in every country, with Asian nations maintaining a clear lead over their Western and Latin American counterparts throughout.
In 2015, Singapore recorded the fastest speed at 105 Mbps, narrowly ahead of South Korea at 95 Mbps. The United States trailed considerably at 45 Mbps, and Brazil lagged further still, at just 15 Mbps.
By 2023, Singapore's speed had more than doubled to 225 Mbps, while South Korea had surged past it, reaching 245 Mbps — the highest figure in the table. The United States had climbed to 180 Mbps, roughly a fourfold increase, and Brazil's speed had jumped most impressively in proportional terms, rising sixfold from 15 to 90 Mbps, although it still remained the slowest.
扣分重點
百分比一定要加 %
"The share was 30" → 扣分。"The share was 30%" → 對。
不要算錯總和
如果五個片加起來應該是 100%，你的描述裡總和差超過 2% 就會被扣分。把每個提到的百分比加一遍再交卷。

"In Singapore in 2015 it was 105. In Singapore in 2023 it was 225. In Korea in 2015..." — 評分 5.5。一定要橫跨兩個軸線比較。
