LT 2.2 – Sample Survey Report

(The related tally record completed by Chan Tai Man is given below.)

Survey Report

To: Miss Fu

From: Chan Tai Man Class: 6F

Date: 11th December 2009

I finished a survey on 10th December, 2009. For this survey, I talked to 12 students in my class. From their answers, I learn that

(1) The film that most students have seen is Finding Nemo. A total of eleven students have seen it. Ten of them liked the film.

(2) Six students have seen Spiderman 3. They all liked it.

(3) Nine students have seen Shrek. Five of them liked it.

(4) Ten students have not seen the film Ice Age. Nine of them want to see it.

I suggest that the school should show Ice Age for all P6 students. I also think that the school can show Transformers 2. This is because I saw Transformers 1 and I like it very much. Thank you.
