If there is more than one graph/ chart/ table/ map/ diagram DO NOT ATTEMPT TO COMPARE BETWEEN THEM! This is virtually impossible in the 20 minute time limit and also, it does not always make sense as they are often showing data for completely different subjects. Instead, you should be comparing between the data within the graph/ chart/ table/ map/ diagram. For instance, in the example here, you can compare between the age groups. You need to use language of comparison to do this, for example, comparatives and superlatives.
The example Task 1 below shows how you can compare data and some useful expressions for doing this.
Vocabulary:
as = because
attempt (v) = try
virtually impossible (adv) = almost impossible
instead (adv) = alternatively
compare (v) = look at how two or more things are similar
