t: when information is presented graphically, it is because the writer wants to draw attention to a change, a difference or a trend. when you read a graph or a chart, ask yourself what change, difference or trend he or she wants to show you. look at the shape of the graph or the chart, rather than the details. be careful to describe the subject of the graph rather than the picture the graph makes. for example, you cannot say “the bars get taller from left to right”. you have to say “the number of children attending school increased between 1985 and ”. here we have two graphs on page 102 (show the graphs on the slides). first you’re required to understand them and then try to say something about them. students read the graphs and try to describe them, and finish the questions on the right of the graphs. three minutes later.t: who’d like to show us your description of the first graph about “school-age children attending school” and also draw the bar for ?sa: the number of school-age children attending school increased between 1985 and . in 1985, more than 95 percent of school-age children attended school, while in more than 99 percent of school-age children attended school, rising by nearly 4 percent. i think, it is with the help of the government that more and more school-age children have the chance of attending school. according to the graph and the present situation as well, it is hoped that all the school-age children will go to school in . i would like to put the bar for as high as 100%. (show his graph to the class)sb: i don’t agree with you. because a lot of mountainous villages don’t have schools, teachers and equipment for teaching. we still have a long way to go. though we have achieved a lot, and we are trying our best, we have to keep in mind that many problems remain there for us to overcome, and some of them will take a long time, perhaps more than 10 years, or twenty years.t: very good. it’s hard to tell who is right. but we can tell that both of you are reasonable in thinking like this. let’s hope that all school-age children can attend school as soon as possible. now who’d like to show us your description of the second graph about “people aged 15 and over who are unable or find it very difficult to read” and also draw the line to ?sc: fewer and fewer people are unable to read or find it very difficult to read. in 1997, nearly 18 percent of people aged 15 and over are unable or find it very difficult to read, while in only 8 percent of people aged 15 and over are unable or find it very difficult to read, going down by nearly 10 percent. as we can see, people are becoming richer and richer; more and more people begin to realize the importance of providing their children with a proper education. of course, our government is playing an important role in helping more children and adults learn to read. according to the graph and the present situation as well, it is certain that all the children and adults will be able to read in . i would like to put the line to down to bottom.
