DESCRIBING VISUAL INFORMATION: INTERPRETING DATA

DESCRIBING VISUAL INFORMATION: HOW TO SAY NUMBERS AND PERCENTAGES

In the new mediation tasks of the C1 exam - both oral and written ones - you might be asked to give a short descriptive speech (oral mediation) or write a short descriptive report (written mediation) based on visual information or data. This visual information is most commonly presented as line and bar graphs, pie charts or tables. You might be asked to describe and analyse the information provided by selecting and reporting the main features.

In the presentation below, based on a didactic unit by New Language Leader Advanced, I will be discussing some of the key factors students will need to consider when dealing with such a task. First of all, they will learn how to look for the most obvious information: what are the numbers on the graph referring to? Then, by learning to say proportions and percentages, they will eventually end up passing on the information in the graph! Isn't it magic!? Fingers crossed! Let's start!
