A Chapter Analytical Paragraph 2 Analytical writing requires a student to summarise or provide a description in about 150-200 words of a particular graph (line, bar or pie chart), table, map, report, chart, or process (how a particular action/job is done or how it works). This writing exercise is used to test a student's ability to describe and compare data, select and report the main features of the graph, table, map, etc., analyse the significant trends in factual information, or simply describe the key features of a particular process. Points to remember while writing an analytical paragraph : 1. This section will have two to three paragraphs. 2. The first paragraph will be an introduction/description of the graph, table, map, etc. Remember if the question has a brief description, do not copy the description rather paraphrase it. 3. While identifying the key features, remember the highest and lowest categories are important along with the significant differences between categories. 4. Use formal language, keep sentences short to the point and do not use contractions. 5. Use passive voice wherever possible. 6. Be brief and to the point; do not beat about the bush. 7. After identifying the key features of the graph, table, map, etc., also provide your observations.Vocabulary to use while describing the Graph, Map, Table, etc. Upward Trend Downward Trend + Increase + Downward + Rise + Decrease + Climb + Fall + Gradual + Decline + Growth + Drop + Goes Up + Goes Down Sample Analytical Paragraphs: MAP Given below is the map for Raj Town in the year 1995 and that of today. Prepare an analytical report indicating the changes that have taken place in the town. The people in Raj Town have witnessed changes that have only quadrupled within a pan of two decades. What was once a quaint fishing port that provided sustenance to the locals is now a fancy living complex with modern facilities for both the locals and city dwellers. The city has indeed transformed from its humble farming and fishing facilities. In 1995, the port city had fewer housing facilities, one central hotel, huge farm landholdings and even forest cover. The port city boasted of its own fishing port and local fish market. One observes that thefew shops may have provided basic amenities as the port city was self-sufficient. The city also had a housing complex as well as standalone houses. All this has changed with the introduction of various technological changes. Today the farmland and the forest cover are transformed into a giant golf court and two spacious tennis courts. The fish markets have been replaced by sea-facing apartments for those wishing to seek solace by the sea. There is also a car park besides the hotel. Moreover, the shops have been replaced by restaurants and the housing complex has made several additions. The only constant about the Town is the café which has withstood the onslaughts of time and the hotel. One can only help wonder about the disappearing forest and the fact that technology, though has several positives, also comes with its own set of negatives. CHART The table below provides consumer spending information on six items in different countries in 2019. Prepare an analytical report by selecting and reporting the main features of the spending habits, and make comparisons where relevant. Count Food/Drinks | Clothing/Footwear Leisure/ 2 Education USA 28.91% 443% 2.35% South 16.36% 10% 4.20% Korea India 18% 5.45% 2.50% UK 14% 6.41% 5.22% Singapore 33% 3.56% 4.35%The table indicates the consumer spending information in 2019 based on six items or categories in five countries. The information presented in the table is as varied as the countries. The table indicates the spending information on food, drinks, clothing, footwear, leisure and education. While the information indicates that people spend less in leisure and education, the most expenditure is on food and drinks. A significant amount of money is also spent on clothing and footwear. Countries have been selected on the basis of region and depict a varied percentage in spending levels. While consumers in Singapore spend most of their money in food and drinks, consumers in the USA spend a far lesser amount on clothing, footwear, leisure and education. Consumers in India on average spend about 18% of their income on food and drinks, 5.45% of their income on clothing and footwear and marginally less on leisure and education. Consumers in UK spend about 14% of their income on food and drinks but spend a significantly higher amount on shopping, leisure and education. Consumers in South Korea spend a median amount of their income in all six categories. The spending habits are an indication of the income that the consumers earn and how much they are willing to spend. This may be useful when forecasting the budget. REPORT “Istanbul, Turkey: A report forecasting the birth and death rates from 1901-2101 in Turkey was released to the public last evening. The birth rate till date has been consistently higher than the death rate. Standing at 20,000 in 1901, it peaked to a 76,000 in 1961 and has consistently fluctuated between 65 and 80 thousand. The prediction indicated that the birth rate will decline to about 52,000 by the end of the century. In contrast, the death rate at 1901 was 10,000 and has only increased by leaps and bounds. This increase is expected to accelerate between 2023 and 2061 when the rate will probablylevel off at 70,000, before dropping slightly in 2101. Moreover, this contrasting trend indicates that the death rate will probably overtake the birth rate in and around 2047 and the large gap between the two levels will be reversed in the later part of this century.” Prepare an analytical report by selecting and reporting the main features of the report and indicating the difference between these two trends. The Turkish forecasting reports on the birth and death rate from 1901-2101 indicates a varying trend in both categories that significantly rise and decline through the decades. Though the birth rate in the country is higher than the death rate, the report indicates that this may take a marginal turn in the later part of the century. The birth rate at the start of the century was at 20,000 which experienced a rise to about 76,000 in 1961 and has then consistently landed between 65,000 to 80,000 through the years. However, data indicates that the birth rate may experience a sharp fall to about 52,000 in 2101. The death rate is significantly varied. While in 1901 it stood at 10,000, predicative data indicates that it will level off at 70,000 before dropping at a smaller level in 2101. The death rate in turn will overtake the birth rate by 2047. Moreover, this trend is also indicative of the decline of marriages and the mindset of people that propagation is the only way forward. A higher death rate is also indicative of the lack of medical facilities in combating diseases that may arise due to super-viruses. To balance of these rates the Government should consider introducing plans that help level both the rates at this stage. LINE - GRAPH The following data in the graph indicates the percentage of children in Grade 10 in Model Town who have joined coaching institutes and which has only increased further. Describe in 150-200 words how this trend has only changed over the years.The histogram indicates the percentage of students in Grade 10 from Model Town who have availed of services from coaching institutes who help them prepare for their board exams as well as other entrance and competitive exams. The graph shows a significant increase of students joining these institutes over the years which has not waned. While 1990 shows about 2.5% of students enrolling themselves in such institutes, about 7.5% of students are part of these institutes in 2010. The trend of joining coaching institutes doubles by a percent through the years. However, the margin increases significantly between 2000 and 2005. This trend indicates that more students place their trust in the town in local coaching institutes then on self-study. While schools do provide the students with all guidance, what can be construed is that students go out to seek for more coaching with a view to prepare themselves for other competitive exams. Moreover, most of these institutes also begin preparing students for the engineering and medical entrance exams at the earlier stages. Therefore, students willingly in Model town choose to join such institutes. One can also presume that most students would rather spend their hours receiving extra coaching then spend time for leisure or other activities. Analytical Paragraphs Based On Charts, Graphs, Cues, Hints, etc. 1. Write an analytical paragraph based on the following table:Different types | Year-wise Year-wise Year-wise of schools in | percentage percentage of percentage of India of attendance attendance attendance Year 2000 2005 2010 City govt. 59% 65% 67% schools Village govt. 31% 35% 39% schools General English 58% 55% 60% medium schools Public schools 75% 77% 79% The 'Table' shows year wise percentage of attendance in four different types of schools of India. The percentage of attendance is recorded with a gap of 5 years. As it is clear from the given data, from 2000 to 2010 there is a steady and positive increase in the percentage of attendance in all the four types of schools. The attendance in public schools is much higher compared to the other three types of schools. Initially, the village schools show a noticeably poor percentage in attendance. At the same time, the ‘General English Medium’ schools witnessed less attendance than the public schools. All in all, the continuous higher percentage indicates that the relevant authorities are concerned about improving the country's education. Therefore, the 'Government' must have taken an effective measure to improve the literacy in the villages. Noteworthy, public school attendance indicates solid infrastructure and focuses on the healthy growth of the corresponding authorities. 2.

Write an analytical paragraph based on the following bar chart: The bar chart shows the percentage of females entering higher education in the years 1985 and 1995. The chart shows the percentages in four countries, India, London, Italy, Russia. The data is shown in millions. Overall, the proportion of women in higher education is increased in the four countries. In general, there were more female students in 1995 than in 1985, with more than half of women in higher education in all of the four countries. In addition, in four of the countries, the percentage of women going into higher education rose. The most dramatic change was in India, where the percentage is more than doubled. The least of all change was seen in London change. The only country where there was no increase was Italy. Although the percentage of Australian women going into higher education remained the same. Russia's highest percentage of women went for higher education, which sustained its position even after a decade. 3. Analyse the picture in your own words.Rising pollution- a serious cause of concern Our world is suffering a great deal because of the rising problem of pollution. It is really painful to see the city and its environment suffering for years. There used to be trees on the city roads. Also, a few vehicles were plying on them. Life was peaceful and free. Now it has become a thing of the distant future. The smoke emitted by vehicles has become a health hazard causing many respiratory diseases like asthma, bronchitis etc. Also, noise pollution has greatly increased. The smoke being emitted from chimneys of factories contains poisonous gases like carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. These cause various breathing-related problems and later serious diseases. The trees look diseased and withered. The drains used to be cleaned. But now, they are seldom cleaned. Mounds of sewage are seen piled up on thoroughfares. Thus the city has become unfit for healthy living. It is all due to increasing environmental pollution. These calls for immediate steps by all of us to check the increasing environmental pollution. If immediate steps are not taken in this direction, the world may soon become unsuitable for living. 4.

The line graph shows Delhi Metro station passengers. Write an analytical paragraph on the information provided by the graph and make comparison where relevant. ‘Saat The line-graph depicts the number of people using a metro in New Delhi over a given day of a year. The number of passengers rises sharply in the morning reaching a peak of 1500 at 7 am. After the morning peak there is a steady drop to 800 at around 9 am and less than 500 at 12 in the noon. After 12 there is a steady increase in the number of passengers. 1000 passengers boarded the train at 3:00 pm .The evening brings ahuge increase from 1200 at 4 pm to almost 1600 at 5 pm. The number of passengers tapers off slightly after 5 pm, but falls quickly to 200 by 8 pm. All in all, the time series show that the greatest number of passengers gather in the station early in the morning and also early in the evening when it is their time to go to work and in the evening when they come back from work and take the train to home. In between the travelling is less mostly by those who are going to or coming from some personal business. = Prac 1. The table depicts the viewing figures for various genre of films, in millions.
