The three media surveyed are: phone, telephone and letter.It is apparent from the left pie chart that letter writing was the most popular form of communication in 1962, taking up 50% of the total. However, its use decreased dramatically after that. By 1982, this figure dropped to only 10%, the smallest of that year’s figure. According to the left chart, we can see that during this same period, the use of phone and computers both increased significantly .In 1962, the use of the telephone just occupied 35% and the computer was the least used form of the three (15%). In 1982, the telephone, with a percentage of 60% , has become the most used form of communication. Similarly, the use of computers doubled to 30% .O verall, we can see some important changes in the forms of communication used during the twod e cades. More and more people appreciate the convenience brought about by the telephone and computer.曲线图曲线图的写作要点：•注意横竖坐标的单位及意义；• 极点说明；• 趋势说明；• 交点说明；•1. 数据的起点In 1960, the proportion of the 15-46 age group stood at approximately 65%, compared to 30% and 5% of other two age groups.在描述数据起点的时候，标准的动词词组是 stand at, 当然我们还可以使用其他动词来引导，比如 begin, start 等。

那除此之外注意趋势间的比较，也就是说，幅度大的和幅度偏小的这样要做一个对比。
另外要注意一个比较细节的点就是，线性图定要描述起点、终点以及极值点。
