1 00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:08,160 One of the most challenging graphs are charts that students have to write would definitely be the two 2 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,840 chart style. 3 00:00:10,290 --> 00:00:14,730 And when we're talking about the two charts style, we're talking about having a line graph and a bar 4 00:00:14,730 --> 00:00:21,780 chart or having pie charts and a line graph or a table and a bar chart. 5 00:00:22,020 --> 00:00:32,910 So dealing with two charts for some might seem to be a difficult task, but in actuality, it's easier 6 00:00:32,910 --> 00:00:38,250 than dealing with one table sometimes or dealing with one line graph. 7 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:44,820 In this lecture, I'm going to show you how to break down a two chart style. 8 00:00:45,180 --> 00:00:47,610 So let's go ahead and get started with that right now. 9 00:00:50,350 --> 00:00:52,570 Two different charts strategy. 10 00:00:54,020 --> 00:00:57,590 So we already know the structure and format. 11 00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,650 Paraphrase the introduction. 12 00:00:59,660 --> 00:01:01,520 Give the general overview. 13 00:01:01,550 --> 00:01:06,140 Give me two great specific detail paragraphs. 14 00:01:09,450 --> 00:01:13,110 When we're doing a general overview introduction. 15 00:01:13,110 --> 00:01:17,940 Before we get to that, we want to do an analysis of what we're dealing with. 16 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:23,550 So you take 2 minutes, look at the two graphs, look at the two charts. 17 00:01:23,970 --> 00:01:27,480 Try to decide what you're going to include in your general overview. 18 00:01:27,780 --> 00:01:29,970 What you're going to include in your introduction. 19 00:01:29,970 --> 00:01:33,420 And how are you going to separate the information. 20 00:01:34,170 --> 00:01:39,770 The introduction 1 to 2 minutes wants to sentence this for the introduction. 21 00:01:39,780 --> 00:01:42,900 The introduction should take no more than 2 to 3 minutes. 22 00:01:43,050 --> 00:01:48,660 I really think that you should be able to finish up an introduction in 2 minutes maximum. 23 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,430 2 minutes, maximum. 24 00:01:50,430 --> 00:01:53,100 But if you take 3 minutes, it's okay. 25 00:01:53,550 --> 00:02:00,090 The general overview should only take to 2 to 3 sentences to complete and to only take 2 to 3 minutes 26 00:02:00,090 --> 00:02:01,170 to finish. 27 00:02:04,190 --> 00:02:07,460 So here you can see we're dealing with two different charts. 28 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,500 At the top, we have a bar graph or some call it a bar chart bar graph. 29 00:02:12,510 --> 00:02:15,050 At the bottom we have a line graph. 30 00:02:15,350 --> 00:02:20,030 So we have two different two different graphs, two different charts. 31 00:02:20,210 --> 00:02:24,980 Now for this one, you notice I did not give you a description. 32 00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:31,070 I did not give you their description of these charts, of these graphs. 33 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:38,150 I did that for a reason because I want you to create your own original introduction. 34 00:02:39,350 --> 00:02:46,940 Very often, what happens to a student on the exam is that they look at the description that the examiner 35 00:02:46,940 --> 00:02:52,760 has written and they say to themselves, I can't write it better than that. 36 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,550 I can't do better than what they're doing. 37 00:02:55,700 --> 00:02:57,380 So I'll just copy. 38 00:02:57,470 --> 00:03:03,920 I'll copy what they did, I'll copy what they wrote, and you end up just hurting yourself because you're 39 00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:06,470 not showing any writing ability. 40 00:03:07,340 --> 00:03:15,680 So I think it's a really great exercise sometimes to look at a graph or a chart or a diagram process 41 00:03:16,190 --> 00:03:19,130 and eliminate the description they give you. 42 00:03:19,490 --> 00:03:23,180 You look at the information and put it together yourself. 43 00:03:23,330 --> 00:03:27,350 I think that's a great way to train yourself how to do original writing. 44 00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:35,810 Now, here is pretty clear that we have things to talk about in our general overview. 45 00:03:36,110 --> 00:03:38,120 What was the low? 46 00:03:38,150 --> 00:03:39,080 What was the high? 47 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,700 We could see that very easily. 48 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:43,490 The same for the line graph. 49 00:03:43,490 --> 00:03:45,560 We can see the low, we can see the high. 50 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,490 So that's the kind of information we use to put together a general overview. 51 00:03:51,870 --> 00:04:01,620 Now you'll also notice that I have the bar graph and line graph color coded, and I'm doing that to 52 00:04:01,620 --> 00:04:08,850 point out to you how I'm going to separate or segregate my information for the third paragraph and the 53 00:04:08,850 --> 00:04:09,960 fourth paragraph. 54 00:04:11,010 --> 00:04:18,900 The yellow and purple parts includes the information that I'm going to discuss for my third paragraph. 55 00:04:19,710 --> 00:04:25,880 The orange and green parts include the information I'm going to discuss in my fourth paragraph. 56 00:04:25,890 --> 00:04:34,350 Now, I know some of you may look at this and say, Well, I'll write about the bar graph in one paragraph 57 00:04:34,350 --> 00:04:37,890 and I'll write about the line graph in another paragraph. 58 00:04:38,190 --> 00:04:39,180 That's fine. 59 00:04:40,540 --> 00:04:41,980 You can write it that way. 60 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:43,930 You can write it that way. 61 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:52,980 But when I look at a line graph in a bar or a bar graph and I see the same dates being used for each 62 00:04:52,980 --> 00:04:57,210 one except for this last year, 95 or 94. 63 00:04:58,290 --> 00:05:05,670 When I see the same date parameters, I'm going to actually compare these two against each other. 64 00:05:06,540 --> 00:05:11,760 I think that shows a higher level of being able to organize information. 65 00:05:11,850 --> 00:05:18,180 I think that actually we'll get a better score if it's done correctly, and that's the way I'm going 66 00:05:18,180 --> 00:05:26,400 to write my introduction, general overview and specific paragraphs based on that style of writing. 67 00:05:27,290 --> 00:05:34,880 But like I said, you can do it, you know, top one, paragraph three, bottom one, paragraph four. 68 00:05:34,910 --> 00:05:35,540 That's fine. 69 00:05:36,140 --> 00:05:38,270 So first of all, we're going to write the introduction. 70 00:05:39,460 --> 00:05:49,150 If you want to go ahead and stop the lecture right now, set your clock for 2 minutes, for 2 minutes 71 00:05:49,150 --> 00:05:51,520 and go ahead and write your introduction. 72 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,080 Then come back and compare, compare, compare, compare. 73 00:05:56,110 --> 00:06:01,510 Come back and compare your introduction to mind and look for areas where you could improve. 74 00:06:06,370 --> 00:06:08,290 Now let's take a look at my introduction. 75 00:06:11,070 --> 00:06:19,200 The first graph, a bar graph reveals data or data for millions of Japanese citizens participating in 76 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:27,090 global travel, and the line graph communicates the percentage of Japanese travelers only visiting Australia 77 00:06:27,090 --> 00:06:28,080 on holiday. 78 00:06:29,180 --> 00:06:31,430 The word holiday means vacation. 79 00:06:31,460 --> 00:06:34,820 They use that in the UK and some other countries and in the United States. 80 00:06:34,820 --> 00:06:35,870 We don't use that. 81 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,720 We don't use it that way. 82 00:06:37,730 --> 00:06:40,490 But the word holiday means vacation or travel. 83 00:06:42,270 --> 00:06:42,870 Here. 84 00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:46,950 You can see I'm using a compound sentence. 85 00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:53,130 When you use compound complex sentences, that's how you move your grammar score up to seven, eight, 86 00:06:53,130 --> 00:06:53,640 nine. 87 00:06:54,540 --> 00:06:59,460 If you're only writing simple sentences, you're going to get a simple, basic score 5 to 6. 88 00:07:00,570 --> 00:07:08,640 Also, look at the words I'm using reveals, and then I'm not using the same word twice communicates. 89 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:14,160 So I'm using strong language, strong verbs, strong words. 90 00:07:14,990 --> 00:07:20,840 But I'm not using those those basic level words is are was have has. 91 00:07:21,830 --> 00:07:27,060 This is what you call a strong paragraph that shows the examiner from the very beginning. 92 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,640 This is a strong writer. 93 00:07:29,710 --> 00:07:36,940 Now let's go ahead and write the general overview again we're looking at for the bar graph. 94 00:07:36,940 --> 00:07:37,760 What's the high? 95 00:07:37,780 --> 00:07:41,740 What's the load for the line graph? 96 00:07:41,740 --> 00:07:42,450 What's the high? 97 00:07:42,460 --> 00:07:43,480 What's the low? 98 00:07:43,810 --> 00:07:45,460 The general trends. 99 00:07:45,460 --> 00:07:46,750 The general trends. 100 00:07:46,750 --> 00:07:48,970 That's what we're doing with the general overview. 101 00:07:49,210 --> 00:07:52,360 OC Set your clock for 3 minutes. 102 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:53,800 3 minutes. 103 00:07:53,890 --> 00:08:01,480 Go ahead, write your general overview and then come back and compare your information to what I have 104 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,080 written. 105 00:08:05,490 --> 00:08:05,850 Okay. 106 00:08:05,970 --> 00:08:07,440 So how did you do?
