So, these are all great words to use, to add when you're talking about percentages.
在描述比例的時候，加上這些單詞都非常好。
Now let's talk about a little bit more about percentages.
現在我們再稍微講講比例。
Okay, so now let's look at some general ways to talk about percent.
現在我們來看一些籠統地描述比例的方式。
We've already talked about specific, using words like "50%", "half", "a third".
我們已經講過了用像"50%", "half", "a third"這樣的表達來描述具體比例。
What about if you don't really want to speak so specifically?
萬一你們不是很想講得那么具體呢？
Well, I have here some different expressions you can use.
我這里有些你們可以用的不同的短語。
So, before we get to those, I have a new pie chart.
在開講之前我要畫個新的餅狀圖。
Now, again, you will not see something this simple on the IELTS, this is very simple to help you learn.
還是一樣，雅思考試中是不會出現這么簡單的題目的，這個之所以這么簡單是為了方便你們學習。
So, imagine if this red, little slice, if this represents coffee, and imagine if this green represents tea,
假設紅色的這一小塊代表的是咖啡，綠色的部分代表著茶，
and this is how much...you know, how much I drink in a day.
這是......我一天喝的量。
So, I drink very little coffee, and I drink lots and lots of tea.
可以看得出來我喝的咖啡很少，喝的茶很多很多。
Okay? And you have to describe this, so, instead of saying the specifics, okay, you know,
你們要描述這個餅狀圖，那么，不說具體數字的話，
what we can tell from this is that this is a small amount, coffee is a small amount, and tea is a very large amount.
我們從圖中能看得出來的是這是很小的數量，咖啡的數量很少，而茶的數量非常大。
So if we wanted to talk about this, we could use the words: "a small fraction".
所以如果我們想描述它，可以使用 "a small fraction"（小部分）。
So, this is a small fraction, "A small fraction of the total is coffee." Okay?
這就是很小的一部分，我們可以說："A small fraction of the total is coffee."（占總量很小的那部分是咖啡）。
We could also say: "a small percentage", we're not saying specifically what it is.
我們還可以說"a small percentage"（小部分），不說具體是多少。
"A small percentage is coffee.", "A small number is coffee.", "The lowest percentage is coffee.",
可以說："A small percentage is coffee.", "A small number is coffee.", "The lowest percentage is coffee.",
"A very small percentage is coffee.", and "A very small proportion is coffee."
"A very small percentage is coffee."和"A very small proportion is coffee."。
These, essentially, all mean the same thing, they're different ways to say a small amount, okay, or a small percent.
這些本質上都是一個意思，只是表達"少量"或者"一小部分"的不同方式。
So, we can also change up the sentence structure a little bit. Okay?
我們還可以稍微變換一下句子結構。
So, for example, if I start with coffee, I can say: "According to the pie chart, coffee makes up a small fraction of the total."
比如，如果以咖啡開頭，我可以說： "According to the pie chart, coffee makes up a small fraction of the total."（根據餅狀圖所示，咖啡占了總量的一小部分）。
"Coffee makes up a small percentage of the total.", "Coffee makes up a small number of the total."
可以說"Coffee makes up a small percentage of the total."，"Coffee makes up a small number of the total."。
"Coffee makes up the lowest percentage of the total.", "Coffee makes up a very small percentage of the total.",
或者"Coffee makes up the lowest percentage of the total.", "Coffee makes up a very small percentage of the total."，
and finally, "Coffee makes up a very small proportion of the total."
還有最后一種："Coffee makes up a very small proportion of the total."
I can also add the percent, if I want to, here.
如果我想的話還可以在這里加上比例。
