this is just the percentage of kind of pet that people have in

kind of pet that people have in

kind of pet that people have in general so we're going to look

general so we're going to look

general so we're going to look at a simple pie chart and will

at a simple pie chart and will

at a simple pie chart and will describe it in basic

describe it in basic

describe it in basic intermediate and more advanced

intermediate and more advanced

intermediate and more advanced english so as we're looking at

english so as we're looking at

english so as we're looking at this pie chart here we can see

this pie chart here we can see

this pie chart here we can see that

that

that fifty-five percent of people

fifty-five percent of people

fifty-five percent of people have dogs and thirty four thirty

have dogs and thirty four thirty

have dogs and thirty four thirty percent of people have cats six

percent of people have cats six

percent of people have cats six percent of people have fish five

percent of people have fish five

percent of people have fish five percent of people have I believe

percent of people have I believe

percent of people have I believe it's a rabbit's see and then

it's a rabbit's see and then

it's a rabbit's see and then let's see four percent of people

let's see four percent of people

let's see four percent of people have rodents now a rodent is

have rodents now a rodent is

have rodents now a rodent is anything actually a rabbit is in

anything actually a rabbit is in

anything actually a rabbit is in the rodent family but this just

the rodent family but this just

the rodent family but this just means things like mice or rats

means things like mice or rats

means things like mice or rats or hamsters anything that's got

or hamsters anything that's got

or hamsters anything that's got like you know big teeth like

like you know big teeth like

like you know big teeth like that so in a basic way I'm just

that so in a basic way I'm just

that so in a basic way I'm just describing what the percentages

describing what the percentages

describing what the percentages of things are and maybe i'm not

of things are and maybe i'm not

of things are and maybe i'm not giving so much interesting

giving so much interesting

giving so much interesting information i'm just giving you

information i'm just giving you

information i'm just giving you the information you can read by

the information you can read by

the information you can read by yourself now this is typically

yourself now this is typically

yourself now this is typically what things are in Basic English

what things are in Basic English

what things are in Basic English we're just giving a direct

we're just giving a direct

we're just giving a direct explanation about something that

explanation about something that

explanation about something that really you could just read by

really you could just read by

really you could just read by looking at the chart now any

looking at the chart now any

looking at the chart now any more intermediate way we can

more intermediate way we can

more intermediate way we can talk about the relationships

talk about the relationships

talk about the relationships between these two things

between these two things

between these two things so we could say many more people

so we could say many more people

so we could say many more people have dogs than have rodents so

have dogs than have rodents so

have dogs than have rodents so I'm talking about again not like

I'm talking about again not like

I'm talking about again not like just saying you know six percent

just saying you know six percent

just saying you know six percent of people have fish or thirty

of people have fish or thirty

of people have fish or thirty percent of people have cats i'm

percent of people have cats i'm

percent of people have cats i'm talking about a relationship

talking about a relationship

talking about a relationship between the two so in a more

between the two so in a more

between the two so in a more intermediate way I could say

intermediate way I could say

intermediate way I could say well many people or a majority

well many people or a majority

well many people or a majority of people have dogs so of the

of people have dogs so of the

of people have dogs so of the people that have pets i'm

people that have pets i'm

the people that have pets a

the people that have pets a majority have dogs to a majority

majority have dogs to a majority

majority have dogs to a majority just means more than fifty

just means more than fifty

just means more than fifty percent so it could be

percent so it could be

percent so it could be 51-percent or in this case since

51-percent or in this case since

51-percent or in this case since we're not just comparing two

we're not just comparing two

we're not just comparing two things it's really like a large

things it's really like a large

things it's really like a large majority because most of the

majority because most of the

majority because most of the people that have pets they have

people that have pets they have

people that have pets they have a dog as opposed to you know

a dog as opposed to you know

a dog as opposed to you know having something like a cat or a

having something like a cat or a

having something like a cat or a fish or a bird or something

fish or a bird or something

fish or a bird or something so that's a way of describing in

so that's a way of describing in

so that's a way of describing in an intermediate way but now if

an intermediate way but now if

an intermediate way but now if we want to talk about the same

we want to talk about the same

we want to talk about the same chart or the same pie chart in a

chart or the same pie chart in a

chart or the same pie chart in a more advanced way we can just

more advanced way we can just

more advanced way we can just again where we're trying to get

again where we're trying to get

again where we're trying to get more more interesting

more more interesting

more more interesting information maybe provide some

information maybe provide some

information maybe provide some stories for that try to give

stories for that try to give

stories for that try to give some reasons why we're seeing

some reasons why we're seeing

some reasons why we're seeing the data that we're seeing high

the data that we're seeing high

the data that we're seeing high and so we'll do that in a more

and so we'll do that in a more

and so we'll do that in a more advanced way so looking at this

advanced way so looking at this

advanced way so looking at this pie chart here we can see that a

pie chart here we can see that a

pie chart here we can see that a majority of people maybe not a

majority of people maybe not a

majority of people maybe not a vast majority so it's not

vast majority so it's not

vast majority so it's not seventy or eighty percent of pet

seventy or eighty percent of pet

seventy or eighty percent of pet owners are dog owners but a

owners are dog owners but a

owners are dog owners but a majority of people

majority of people

majority of people fifty-five percent of people

fifty-five percent of people

fifty-five percent of people that own pets have a dog now

that own pets have a dog now

that own pets have a dog now it's interesting that more

it's interesting that more

it's interesting that more people would like a dog than a

people would like a dog than a

people would like a dog than a cat and so this graph

cat and so this graph

cat and so this graph demonstrates that it shows that

demonstrates that it shows that

demonstrates that it shows that more people are maybe dog lovers

more people are maybe dog lovers

more people are maybe dog lovers then cat lovers and it's

then cat lovers and it's

then cat lovers and it's interesting to think about why

interesting to think about why

interesting to think about why that might be so we don't want

that might be so we don't want

that might be so we don't want to just look at the data we want

to just look at the data we want

to just look at the data we want to maybe draw some conclusions

to maybe draw some conclusions

to maybe draw some conclusions or create a few hypotheses about

or create a few hypotheses about

or create a few hypotheses about that so maybe some reasons why

that so maybe some reasons why

that so maybe some reasons why something like that might happen

something like that might happen

something like that might happen so maybe you know the history of

so maybe you know the history of

so maybe you know the history of dogs dogs have been living with

dogs dogs have been living with

dogs dogs have been living with us for a really long time and

us for a really long time and

us for a really long time and humans have had maybe just a

humans have had maybe just a

humans have had maybe just a much closer relationship with

much closer relationship with

much closer relationship with dogs and we bring dogs into the

dogs and we bring dogs into the

dogs and we bring dogs into the house but cats are maybe they

house but cats are maybe they

house but cats are maybe they live with us but they're not

live with us but they're not

live with us but they're not like man

like man

like man best friend like we would

best friend like we would

best friend like we would describe a dog so we can see

describe a dog so we can see

describe a dog so we can see like this graph here it would

like this graph here it would

like this graph here it would give us an example of well I

give us an example of well I

give us an example of well I guess it makes sense that dogs

guess it makes sense that dogs

guess it makes sense that dogs are maybe more numerous so more

are maybe more numerous so more

are maybe more numerous so more numerous meaning they're more of

numerous meaning they're more of

numerous meaning they're more of them for people that own pets

them for people that own pets

them for people that own pets then there are four people that

then there are four people that

then there are four people that own cats or rodents or rabbits

own cats or rodents or rabbits

own cats or rodents or rabbits or fish so people that like fish

or fish so people that like fish

or fish so people that like fish is a small fraction of total pet

is a small fraction of total pet

is a small fraction of total pet owners so if we want again we're

owners so if we want again we're

owners so if we want again we're moving from dog owners to maybe

moving from dog owners to maybe

moving from dog owners to maybe someone that has a rodent like a

someone that has a rodent like a

someone that has a rodent like a hamster or a rat or a mouse or

hamster or a rat or a mouse or

hamster or a rat or a mouse or someone that has a fish so a

someone that has a fish so a

someone that has a fish so a tiny fraction of people so a

tiny fraction of people so a

tiny fraction of people so a fraction just means a small

people have dogs but a tiny

people have dogs but a tiny fraction and typically when we

use the word fraction we're

use the word fraction we're talking about a small thing even

talking about a small thing even

talking about a small thing even though fraction just means a

piece of something but a tiny fraction of people have rodents

fraction of people have rodents

fraction of people have rodents so and up that maybe that's even

so and up that maybe that's even

so and up that maybe that's even a smaller percentage that has a

a smaller percentage that has a

a smaller percentage that has a hamster so maybe hamsters are

hamster so maybe hamsters are

hamster so maybe hamsters are only 1% of pet owners actually I

only 1% of pet owners actually I

only 1% of pet owners actually I had a hamster actually had a few

had a hamster actually had a few

had a hamster actually had a few hamsters when I was younger I

hamsters when I was younger I

hamsters when I was younger I never had any rats or mice but I

never had any rats or mice but I

never had any rats or mice but I had a few different times of

or how we did that are talking to the owners of these pets and

to the owners of these pets and

to the owners of these pets and trying to figure out how we got

trying to figure out how we got

trying to figure out how we got more information about that but

more information about that but

more information about that but then we can also inject our own

then we can also inject our own

then we can also inject our own personal information whatever
