If this were the results of an election, how would you describe them?<\/p>\n

It is different if we are online or in front of it.<\/p>\n

To bring the audience’s attention to it, you can precise the part of the chart:<\/p>\n

On the right<\/strong>, we can see “light blue” accounts for nearly 45% of the vote.<\/p>\n

Can you name the other areas?<\/em><\/p>\n

As you can see,
\nHere
\nOver here
\nOver there
\nOn the left\/right
\nOn the upper\/lower part of the chart<\/p>\n

On the right, we can see “light blue” accounts for<\/strong> nearly 45% of the vote<\/p>\n

What other expressions can we use instead of “accounts for”?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

accounts for
\nmakes up
\nstands for
\nrepresents<\/p>\n

On the right, we can see “light blue” accounts for<\/strong> nearly 45% of the vote.\u00a0 On the left, we can see “dark blue” represents<\/strong> 15%.<\/p>\n

Now how can we connect these two sentences?<\/em><\/p>\n

On the right, we can see “light blue” accounts for<\/strong> nearly 45% of the vote while in comparison<\/strong>, on the left, we can see “dark blue” represents<\/strong> 15%.<\/p>\n

What other expressions can we use to compare sizes?<\/em><\/p>\n

On the right, we can see “light blue” accounts for nearly 45% of the vote, as opposed to<\/strong> “purple” which<\/strong> makes up 5%.<\/p>\n

On the right, we can see “light blue” accounts for nearly 45% of the vote, versus\u00a0<\/strong>“purple” which<\/strong> makes up 5%.<\/p>\n

On the right, we can see “light blue” accounts for more than<\/strong> 35% of the vote, while in comparison “purple” makes up less than<\/strong> 5%.<\/p>\n

To compare,<\/strong> we can see “light blue” accounts for nearly 45% of the vote, while in comparison “purple” makes up 5%.<\/p>\n

On the right, we can see the majority<\/strong> voted for “light blue” with 45% of the vote, while in comparison only a small minority<\/strong> voted for “purple”, making up<\/strong> 5%.<\/p>\n

On the right, we can see “light blue” accounts for nearly 45% of the vote, compared to<\/strong> “purple” which<\/strong> makes up 5%.<\/p>\n

On the right, we can see “light blue” had a far greater<\/strong> share of the\u00a0 vote with 45%, while “purple” had a much smaller <\/b>share, with <\/b>5%.<\/p>\n
