Non Linear Text to Linear Text

We learnt about how to change non linear text to linear text. Non linear text is graphically presented and linear text is ordinary text. Like this. This is part of our final exam question so we must focus a lotttt moreeeeeee!

We have to interpret the non linear text given. The non linear text might be a graph, table or pie chart. (as shown below)

The essay should be not more that 200 words because it just need to write fact not babbling like any other fiction essay. The time allocate for this part is 40 minutes. It is quite a lot of time but when we do the essay we won't realise that the time flies so fast.

We are given the formula to write this essay which is......

Tittle

OV+CI

KFs

P(i) P(ii)

The tittle is a must for this essay. Our mark will be deducted if we do not write the tittle. It carry 1 mark if not mistaken and it needs to be underlined.

The OV is overview which tells what the essay is interpreted from what data and the CI is the controlling idea which tells what the essay is all about. It should be in the first paragraph like an introduction.

KFs are the key features. They are located in the middle of the essay. We need to write about the most outstanding trend in the data and make a little assumption. Exxagerating is not allowed!

P(i) and P(ii) are the Prediction and Proposal of the data. We must predict what will happen to the data in future and make some proposal t0o tackle the problem.

From the table given above, we need to translate it to linear text and need to be presented to the whole class.

As usual, my groupmates are Hefa, Pony and Salina.

This is our outcome.

Hours Spent On Activities By Different Age Groups In Someland

The table shows  hours spent on activities by different age groups in Someland within one years. The range of age is between teens and 70’s above.

Watching TV or Videos is the most spent by all range of age especially for teen,1200 and 70s +, 

1100 because all the program suits all age.

On the other hand, doing group exercise and sport is the least hours spent activities. It shows an obvious difference of  hours which is change 100% among the age 60s to 70s +. This is due to the less energy they have.

Fluctuating occurs on the socialising with 4 or less people. It increases 150 hours from 20s to 30s age range whiles it down from 300 to 250 hours from 30s to 40s. It remains constant until 50s.

The table indicates the least hours spent on doing group activity or sport on age range 60s to 70s+. This is because during that age they socialised less. This is proved by the given data about the socialise activities.  In order to encourage old folks to socialised, the government should organized event that involve them.

I know there is a lot of mistake but we are learning. The best essay goes to Iffah's group.

Hours spent on activities by different age groups in Someland

The table shows the hours spent on activities like watching television or video, socialising with four or less people, socialising with four or more people, doing individual exercise, doing group exercise or sport and watching movies in cinemas by different age groups from teens to 70s+ in Someland.

The activity of socialising with four or more people is decreasing from 350 for teens until 25 for 70s+.

For teens, watching television or video has the highest hours spent because they like to watch entertainment programmes. However, from age 20s to 30s the hours spent has decreased because they are too busy with their works, but climbing back from age 40s to 70s.

On the other hand, doing group exercise or sport decline from teens to 70s+. This is cause by the ageing process that occurs to human being that leads to the declination in joining outdoor activities.

Based on the table, we can conclude that when we become older, we will do less outdoor activities because our body become weak as we do not have enough energy to do more activity. Government should organize a campaign such as “10,000 steps a day” to encourage community to join other outdoor activities.
