عددها را گزارش کنید، نه بزرگ‌نمایی

پاسخِ بیست نفر فقط دربارهٔ همین بیست نفر خبر می‌دهد، نه همهٔ زبان‌آموزان. پیش از پیشنهاد دادن، جمع را بررسی کنید: ۱۲ + ۶ + ۲ = ۲۰.

نمونهٔ گزارش

We asked 20 students in this class how they would like to receive the course booklet. Twelve chose a printed copy, six chose a digital copy, and two had no preference. Printed copies were therefore the most popular option in this group, but the survey does not tell us what students in other classes want. I recommend offering a printed booklet to those who request one and keeping a digital version available. Before ordering copies, the teacher could ask students to confirm their choice so the number printed matches actual demand. This would also leave room for the two undecided students to choose later. The figures support a flexible plan, not a rule for every class.
