Non-linear text

8th January 2013;

Assalamualaikum.

For today's class, we had learnt about non-linear text which we will have to answer in the examination. For your information, non-linear text is about text that are not in paragraph state but it is in graphic state such as graph, table and so on. It is interpretation of information presented graphically. Based on the tips that Miss Zur gave, I know that this non-linear text question is hard so I need to do more exercises to achieve my target.

• Spend 5 minutes reading the graphs/charts etc.
• Make sure you understand axes.
• Make sure you follow lines on graph.
• Focus on the key information.
• If two graphs - compare them.
• Think about the time period - tenses .
• Vary your vocabulary.
• Organize information clearly.
• Write neatly.

That's all for this entry :)
