Horizontal Bar Graph OL 2023(24)
👉👨 To whom it may concern
I am writing this note with regard to the ambiguities that the 'bar chart test' of the OL English paper 2023(24) carries for the students.
First, ' a survey' is usually conducted to find out the cause or the causes for some issue in general. The reason included, 'rain in the morning' , stands contrary and it is something that would not occur often. On the other hand, the said 'reason' is also the excuse given by the highest number of students. It gives the notion that this particular survey has been conducted to find the reason for getting absent to school on some particular day. Further, another student could also conclude that the motive of the 'survey' was to find reasons for being late to school in general.
Therefore , the examiner does not clearly mention anything with this regard. He leaves the 'little ones' to guess 'anything'. The use of past tense 'verbs' in the given excuses is the only 'straw' that students could hang on to for their survival. I feel that the use of the word 'survey' should have been avoided to make the instructions more clear.
I do not challenge the examiners , but they need to focus more on the average student. A Credit Pass in English language could be a turning point in a student's life. You should come down to the grassroot level and be concerned of our 'young ones' already stressed due to undue delay in their exams. I hope that you would be humble enough to admit the lapse that occurred. However, the OL students of 2023 would never think good of you.
Do not forget the fact that the OL examination is ' a national level exam'. The content of the questions must apply to all the students in the island. Though, perhaps you may not know, there are hundreds and thousands of children who have never travelled on a train (Question number - 6) . And even the far reaching essay topics may suit only undergrads. (Question -16)
You also should think of our teachers, weather it is private or government , who always use their maximum energy to help their students.
Well, what is done cannot be undone. Hope this not would help you set at least the next year's paper with some standard.

According to the details of the chart, the majority of the students prefer to visit Rumassala. In contrast, a least number of the students prefer Anuradhapura. An equal number of students prefer to visit Sigiriya and Yapahuwa. More students like to visit Haggala Flower Garden than Marble Beach.
As a whole, I can clearly see that Rumassala is the most preferred place among the students.

Creating charts is really fun for me, Data visualizations help you tell a story by curating data in an easy-to-understand way and highlighting trends and outliers by using tools like Sankey Chart Maker, thereby unlocking the hidden insights in the available data
