IELTS Graph Data: Language to Approximate

On this page you'll find further IELTS graph data for some further practice with your flexibility to write about graphs and tables.

Often, data is not exact e.g. exactly a half or 50%, so you need to use phrases that show you are approximating (estimating roughly what the figure is).

Sometimes it is also difficult to tell from the graph picture itself in the test exactly what the data level is, so again, you will need to approximate.
