Presentation Transcript

  1. Introducing graphs Table Bar graph Line graph Pie chart Flow chart Maps

  2. Features of Each Type of Graph Table large capacity (eg. 50 rows on a A4), patterns not easily identified suits nominal as well as numerical data able to show cross-sectional & longitudinal data Pie chart: limited capacity nominal & numerical data (%) suits cross-sectional data unless used in series 30 items/variables

  3. Bar graph /Line graph: Similarities: large capacity; suit cross-sectional & longitudinal data; easy to identify patterns and trends Differences: bar graphs better for discrete data; line graphs more for continuous data

  4. Flow chart: for processes /procedures, usually sequential Maps: multi-directional; locations & directions Language features: Flow chart: conjunctions describing sequence Maps: words showing locations and directions Some vocabulary (eg. ordinal) applies to most other graphs, eg. rank first, account for, a significant increase/decrease Some vocabulary only for line graphs, eg. fluctuation, steady rise, plummet, soar

  5. Schematic Structure 3 –Sentence Introductory Para Note: paragraphing not an IELTS requirement but for clarity.
