Non-Temporal Charts- Grammar
Comparatives are used to show the differences between two things.
Superlatives are used to show how one thing is different from two or more things. For short adjectives, we usually add -er to the word and use than to compare two things. If the word ends in y, change y to i and add -er or -est. For the superlative, add -est. Don‟t forget the!
Base Word
Comparative Superlative
high
higher The percentage of tourists for Al Ain was higher than for Doha.
the highest Beirut had the highest percentage of tourists.
low
lower Level Three classes had a lower number of students than Level Two classes.
the lowest Level One classes had the lowest number of students.
For longer adjectives, we cannot use –er and –est. More and less are used to make the comparative and the most/the least are used for the superlative.
Base Word Comparative Superlative
popular
more/less popular than Pepsi was a more popular drink than Sprite.
the most/the least popular The least popular drink was Red Bull.
common
more/less common than Cancer was less common than heart disease.
the most/the least common The most common disease was diabetes.
The difference between popular and common Popular is used to describe people or things that many people like, such as Ahlam, smartphones, or ice cream. Popular has a positive meaning. Common is used to describe things that happen a lot. It can have a positive or negative meaning. For example, Twitter is a common way for people to communicate. Diabetes is common among obese people.

Non-Temporal Charts - Mixed Types
Report Structure
Writing about mixed non-temporal charts looks difficult, but it is quite easy if you remember the steps you learned for the other types of charts. The main difference is that the organization of a report changes when you have two charts to write about.
Introduction paragraphs. You still must have an introduction paragraph. This tells the reader what both charts show and gives an overall statement about both charts.
Body paragraphs. You should write one paragraph for each chart shown. Within these body paragraphs, you must make comparisons and correlations.
No conclusion needed. No opinion. There could be predictions in IELTS.
