2. I am a university student, so I have not written any charts yet. However, there are various classes at university, and among them, there are classes for giving presentations. In the class of this presentation, various charts such as graphs and tables are used. I recently gave a presentation in class. I talked about global coronavirus infection situation. I used various graphs. For example, graphs showing how many people are infected with coronavirus by region and which countries have many coronavirus infected people. I always find and use graphs on the internet that match the content of my presentation. Also, since I have not been able to go to school because of the coronavirus these days, I am using a table to keep record of my studies. However, I am still not very good at using charts. So, I want to practice chart usage in university.

　I’ve written about charts. I don’t remember in detail, but I’ve done this since when I was elementary school student. In addition, I’m studying to write about charts, and I’ll announce by using some charts at another class. When I was elementary school student, I didn’t write about charts mainly, but I saw charts in textbooks. Particularly, it was social studies classes. 　 I saw many times pie charts, bar graph, and band graph. For example, it had been explained the percentage of people such like a what age groups is the highest in Tokyo in band graph. In pie charts, it had been shown the industrial production value. By having saw this, I learned what the highest number at the point of heavy industry or light industry and how many Japan is export to the world. I think that we cannot understand only in words and sentences. In fact, it took time to read textbooks and I didn’t go next page smoothly. However, by being charts, I can read meaning of words or sentences in one time. The feature of charts is this. in other words, charts are given us information by looking at in one time. Therefore, I’ll make charts like this and I want classmate to understand my announcement in the class.

Yes. I had, concerning my study.

Yeah, when I was working at DDB have to write many reports about my clients; with growth indicators, customer analysis, trends-detection and others that were based in graphics from different types.

Off course, my favourite are infographics.

Well, sometimes I have to create a bar chart or lines graphs using specific applications and then to illustrate them at a company meeting. Nikolaos PS. Could you tell me please, if it's better to use illustrate or present?

Yes sometimes I have to create a chart report reflects my company target achievement. Explains how much turnover we achieved for parts and labor. Also I have to compare our current achievement to the previous years and show how the trends go.

Yes, I have had to write about graphics at work and in studies. I think most people have a hard difficulties to reading these kinds of texts. The above, despite the fact that it is very important, because you can see graphics in the news, in the newspapers, and if you do not know how to read these, you can be uninformed about what is happening in the world. In summary, writing and reading graphics are relevant and necessary skills in our context.
