IELTS Grammar snack: A shocking 97%

Did you know that uou can use "a/an + adjective" before a statistic to express your reaction to the number?

This technique adds emphasis and helps the listener or reader understand your perspective on the data.

Examples:

  • A staggering 95% of teenagers spend over 4 hours daily on social media.
  • An alarming 62% of young adults report experiencing significant anxiety.
  • A heartening 78% of volunteers say they feel more connected to their community.
  • A disappointing 34% of students complete their language learning goals.
  • An impressive 92% of renewable energy targets were met this year.
  • A troubling 46% of food produced globally goes to waste.
  • A surprising 55% of people have never traveled outside their home country.
