HOW TO WRITE PIE CHART

Question❔: The two pie charts below show the percentages of industry sectors' contribution to the economy of Turkey in 2000 and 2016.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

Structure

1. Introduction
2. Overall

3. Specific details

4. Introduction

In the introduction you have to paraphrase the information from your question

The two pie charts illustrate how different industry sectors contributed to the economy of Turkey percentagewise in the years 2000 and 2016.

So, I just took the information from the question card and paraphrased it in such way:

show → illustrate
the percentages of industry sectors' contribution to the economy of Turkey → how different industry sectors contributed to the economy of Turkey percentagewise
in 2000 and 2016 → in the years 2000 and 2016.
pie charts = pie charts (don't change this!)
