Good work on presenting the facts of the pie charts. Remember, you have to double check the kind of chart being used and describe it properly to the reader. You just need to practice using varied words that mean the same thing, as in the case of "expenditure" in order to show a wider English vocabulary and a better developed thought process in the essay. These will ensure a higher grade consideration for you in the actual test.
