### In the lessons

In science and maths, a «labelled diagram» names each part with a word and a line (for example a labelled plant or skeleton), and graphs need labelled axes. In everyday life, food is labelled with ingredients — important for allergies — and dangerous products are labelled with warning signs. Phrases: «a labelled diagram», «clearly labelled», «labelled as», «label the axes».
