1、General Overview² /Introduction.

The two pie charts compare different methods of communication used in 1962 and 1982. We can see that for the three mediums surveyed, there are significant changes for each.

2、Paragraph dealing³ with information which decreases.

In 1962, letter writing was the most popular form of communication, accounting⁴ for 50% of the total. However, by 1982, this figure fell to just 10%, the smallest of that years figures. In this paragraph, we make it clear, which time period we are writing about. Don't repeat "the year" again and again.

3、Paragraph dealing with information which increases. 爬

By contrast, we can see that the use of the phone and computers during this same period have both risen dramatically. The telephone, at 60% becomes the most used form of communication, rising from 35%. Similarily, the use of computers, doubles to 30%. (No need to use 15%. We can understand OK using this type of phrase.)Overall, we can see some important changes in the forms of communication employed during the two decades surveyed.
