Step 2 – Write an Introduction
You should include a well-thought-out introduction about the
type of information present in the report.
You need to mention the type of quantities being described
and their units of measurement.
You should also make sure that you include information
about both types of graphs so that it is clear to the reader that
this report is based on more than one piece of graphical
information.
To write an introduction paragraph, you need to paraphrase
the information mentioned in the first sentence of the
question statement using appropriate synonyms, and this
sentence should be about 40 to 50 words long.

features and trends that can be seen in both graphs. This paragraph should
be about two to three sentences at most. Do not let the fact that there are
two graphs trick you into adding extra details here.

Sample Overview
:
Overall, the pie chart clearly shows that the greatest cause of land
degradation is usually over-grazing. The table identifies that the country
with the most severe loss of agricultural productivity was Italy, with
significantly higher degradation than Russia. The least affected country
was Germany, which experienced relatively low degradation.
