I come back with IELTS after a long time struggling with studying online because COVID_19. I have learned some sentence patterns and practice them through my essay below. So if I use them not in appropriate context, please correct them. I would really appreciate that you could identify and give advice about my mistakes. Thanks
My essay:
The pie chart depicts the utilization of various internet resources by students in the Intel Secondary School Library in the year 2014.

Looking at the pie chart more closely, one can see that the percentage of students playing interactive games comprised 30%, which came first in the survey. Also, reading fiction and non-fiction e-books constituted 35% of the use of the internet, collectively. However, a higher number of students preferred fiction e-books to non-fiction ones.

I believe this is the task you are practicing:
The pie chart illustrates the student's use of online resources at Intel Secondary School Library in 2014.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.
This is not a very good practice test.
First, it does not give the units of usage, or what the total of the pie chart is. It could be the amount of time spent on these resources, or the frequency (number of accesses) of using them. That unknown and unspecified quantity makes the essay very difficult to write. You either have to guess at time versus access frequency, or be e
