The pie charts below show the number of hours spent in a British university library by

undergraduates, postgraduates, and the total student population.

Vocabulary
Pie chart = graph = figure
Show = illustrate = demonstrate = display
Number of hours =
British = -> Britain
University = College
Library =
Undergraduates = students learning towards a bachelor’s/undergraduate degree
Postgraduates = scholars studying for academic degrees
Total student = all scholar = entire pupil
Spent = used = consumed
Vast majority = 80-90%

Version 1
The three figures demonstrate the proportions of undergraduates, postgraduates and entire
pupils spending particular numbers of hours in a British college library in Britain.

Overall, the vast percentage of undergraduates and all students allocated from 1 to 7 hours for
the library, whereas the overwhelming majority of scholars studying for academic degrees
consumed at least 15 hours in it.

To be specific, the pattern for postgraduate students was substantially different. 51 percent of
postgraduates spent fifteen hours or more in the library. This number is even higher than that
of undergraduates and the entire student body combined. Furthermore, only 17 percent of
post-graduation student spent less than 7 hours while the students who move towards
graduation in this category is a hefty 63 percent.

Meanwhile, a relevant pattern was seen on range of eight to fourteen hours which
postgraduates and the average students spent, capturing just 32 percent and 35 percent of the
total. In addition, the proportion of postgraduate students who spent fifteen hours per week or
more in the library was very close to all students who spent only 1-7 hours.
Version 2

The three figures demonstrate the proportions of undergraduates, postgraduates and entire
pupils spending particular numbers of hours in a college library in Britain.

Overall, there is a clear trend towards using the library more as students move towards
graduation and post-graduation.
To be specific, a minority of undergraduates and all students allocate at least 15 hours for the
library, whereas 51 percent of scholars studying for academic degree spend more than a half-
day in it, which are even higher than that of undergraduates and the entire students combine.

Furthermore, just under one fifth of post-graduation students and exactly 50 percent of all
scholars spend less than 7 hours while the students who move towards graduation in this
category is 63 percent.

Meanwhile, a relevant pattern is seen on range of 8 to 14 hours which postgraduates and the
average students spend, capturing just 32 percent and 35 percent of the total. In addition, the
proportion of postgraduate students who spend 15 hours or more in the library is very close to
all pupils spending only 1 to 7 hours in it.

Version 3

The three figures demonstrate the proportions of undergraduates, postgraduates and entire
pupils spending particular numbers of hours in a college library in Britain.

Overall, the large majority of scholars studying for academic degrees spends at least 15 hours in
the library while the opposite is observed for all students and students learning towards a
bachelor’s degree. By contract, the fraction of postgraduates spend 1 to 7 hours are even lower
than those of either entire students or undergraduates.

To be specific, the percentages of the post-graduation students and general students spending
1 to 7 hours, 8 to 14 hours, and more than 15 ones a week exhibit reserve pattern. While 51%
of postgraduates fall in the third group and only a mere 17% and 32% of them are classified into
the first and the second ones, 50%, 35% and 15% are the statistics of the above categories in
the given order among all pupils.

Meanwhile, for under-graduation students the pattern appears to be similar to general


students. Between 1 and 7 hours are spent by nearly 2 out of 3 of them which is three times or
five times of those of the entire and graduate learners. Inversely, only a negligible 9% of them
use more than 15 hours and 28% spend from 8 to 14 hours which both are the lowest ones
compared to two lefts.
