9 Survey Report

This activity aims to help students to write a survey report, interpreting a pie chart on the music
preferences of the teens in the UK and expressing opinions about it. It also helps students to link to
previous knowledge, adapt language, and break down complicated information in a context.

Materials and Preparation

Photocopy one worksheet on page 25 for each student.

Procedure

1 Hand out a copy of the worksheet to each student in the class. Point out to students that the pie
chart includes some proportion on the music preferences of the teens in the UK. Tell them that they
will not only use the digits indicated there but also give some information, examples, or reasons why
they prefer that music type.
2 Ask them to use the template given to write their report. Make sure that students understood what
and how they will write for each part of the report. For example, in the introduction, they will state
the purpose/aim of the report when and how the information was gathered. In the body, all the
information collected and analyzed is presented clearly and in detail. In the conclusion part, they will
sum up the points mentioned above. If necessary, a recommendation can be included as well (one
way of summing up is making some general comments).
3 After they have finished the activity, remind students to check the punctuation, flow of the sentences,
cohesion, and coherence of the report. Then, have students work in pairs to check each other’s
paper. Let them share their reports with the class.
