I am Lee Seung-ro, a dignified global professional. Have you ever tried giving a presentation in English? What kind of presentation was the most challenging for you? Of course, giving a presentation in English is difficult in general. However, among them, the most challenging topic is probably presenting numbers or data. So today, I will share some sophisticated expressions that can be used to explain graphs with numbers and data, such as sales performance or business status reports, more elegantly than just saying increase or decrease. Are you ready? Let's get started. I will provide you with a graph to help you learn more effectively. Try explaining it in English. It might be difficult, but give it a try. How was it, everyone? Was it too difficult? Let's approach it step by step. Today, we will interpret this graph in three stages and express it in English. Stage 3.

Flow is directly step 1 briefly introducing the graph step 2 focusing on the important trends being shown step 3 explaining the data in earnest. Are you looking forward to this flow? Shall we take a look at the graph now? When explaining a graph, the first thing you should do, that's right, is to explain what this graph is. How did you do it? You did it like this, right? Here, the expressions you can use are very simple. It's just saying, Here is the graph. It's a phrase that everyone knows. Just like when you present, Here is the cafe. Here is the map. When presenting, it's like, Here is the graph. It's easy, right? But it's good to explain what kind of graph it is. What kind of graph was the graph you just saw? Here is the graph showing the CU for. This graph explains the sales by product from the 1st quarter to the 4th quarter. Here is the paragraph describing the here stop. When explaining the graph, the easiest and fastest way is to.

These are expressions you can use. This is a graph showing the most recent trends. This is a graph supporting the previous slide directly. It is a graph showing the differences. It is a graph showing the differences between two products. It's really simple, right? Here's a tip: bar graphs are not the only type that can appear, different shapes can also be used, right? Let me summarize this in 10 seconds. This is a bar graph or a line graph. Similar ones are circle graphs. When you first look at the graph, talk about the main logic that stands out or needs to be focused on. Depending on the intention of where you want to focus the audience's attention, it may vary. Today, I'll mainly talk about what is easily visible to the eye. In the graph we just saw, in any case, all three products steadily increased their sales until the fourth quarter. Let's talk about that.

If you look closely, you can see that this year's sales have steadily increased. Focusing on the main logic, in general, it shows clearly what it does overall. These five expressions, when known together, will be very helpful when you present. Now, onto Step 3, interpreting the graph. What should we call the blue bar? I will explain in 3 seconds. It's increasing. I would describe it like this. According to the graph, the revenue of product A steadily increased from the first quarter to the fourth quarter. Now, let's move on to the orange bar, product B. I will give you 3 seconds as well. Increase is increse, but how should we express that it slightly increased from Q2 to Q4? I would say like this.

I explained that for product B, it suddenly increased from q1 to q2, and then it stays flat around 5. How about using expressions for when there is no change in values? Stagnant, consistent, leveled off. You can definitely make good use of these in your practical work, right? Now, everyone, this is the last one. It's a gray graph and a bit challenging. How should I describe the shape of this graph? I will give you 5 seconds. For product C, the graph fluctuates. It starts at 0, significantly increases in the second quarter, then drops briefly, and peaks in the fourth quarter. If you have better interpretations, please share them in the comments. Today, I briefly looked at various expressions for explaining bar graphs. How was it? You can use them right away. Don't you feel like you keep using the same expressions when speaking English? In fact,

Even with the same data or phenomenon, if you can use more diverse expressions, the explanation will become richer and less simplistic. Until now, it was a bit difficult, right? However, today, you have learned many English expressions quickly. In today's short video, we couldn't include all the expressions, but make sure to take note of the other recommended expressions that briefly appear on the side when explaining. Practice saying them out loud, and as you use them in emails or presentations at work, these expressions will naturally become part of your own. So far, that's how it has been. I will give you one short assignment today as well. Make sure to try it. Don't forget. See you in the next video. Fighting!

Tips for Elegantly Explaining Graphs and Data in English Presentations

Giving a presentation in English can be challenging, especially when it comes to explaining numbers and data.

Today, we will learn a sophisticated approach to this by 1) briefly introducing the graph, 2) focusing on important trends, and 3) explaining the data in earnest.

The key is to use simple expressions like "Here is the graph" and then provide specific details about the type of graph and the data it represents.

This approach will make the process easier and more effective for your audience.

Interpreting Sales Trends of Three Products

The graph shows a steady increase in sales for all three products until the fourth quarter.

Product A's revenue steadily increased from Q1 to Q4, while Product B's sales slightly increased from Q2 to Q4.

The main focus is on the overall increasing trend of sales for all three products.

Analyzing Bar Graphs: Describing Trends and Patterns

Product B shows a sudden increase from q1 to q2, then remains consistent around 5, indicating a stagnant trend.

Product C, on the other hand, starts at 0, has a significant increase in the second quarter, briefly drops, and peaks in the fourth quarter, demonstrating a fluctuating pattern.

The speaker encourages sharing alternative interpretations and using a variety of expressions when describing bar graphs in English.
