Dear readers,

Picture reading is an interesting way to improve your knowledge of English. It involves your knowledge of vocabulary, grammar and even good thinking. It is the 3rd Test item on the OL English paper, Sri Lanka. It carries 5 marks. The question format has been changed from time to time. Well, this is a small attempt at helping with you some extra activities.

More similar activities are available in the two model activity books I have compiled for OL. If you are interested you can contact me and get down the books to your home.

DESCRIBING GRAPHS

GRAPH DESCRIPTIONS FOR GRADE 10 AND 11

Recommended for General English

The test on graphs carries 10 marks at the OL exam ( Sri Lanka). Describing graphs has also been included in the General English paper.

My objective here is not to teach you how to write descriptions of graphs ; yet to help you form an idea as to how a description is written. By going through the following descriptions, you will probably be able to form an idea as to how a description on a graph is written. However, you need constant practice as a student, so find some more activities and keep on writing. It will enable you to produce a sound description.
