What to consider about giving graph information

• The heading you will use in your text – shorten title for example
• What specific information will your use to introduce your graph
• What part of the graph will you explain to support your main ideas
• What way will you explain the information; low / high; or range; and or making conparisons
• Another way is to draw information from a graph and provide grave ideas in your context – I will give examples.

What is one of our most important things to remember about writing an essay? We need a purpose goal. For example:

1. to convince your readers about something – linking facts of research to your ideas
2. increase / build awareness about an issue. problem. or situation – often for the first time
3. to build upon people previous knowledge and expand on new knowledge

Aim: To learn how to do research. Recording information and selecting specific reference text and images

Method: For the purpose of research in academic and formal writing.

Research ideas and concepts: Researching for important information can include a varied and different range of ideas. For example:

• problems and solutions
• descriptions and facts of information (FOI)
• explanations of systems and processes to explain and how things work
• opinions and points of views of various people involved
• development, progress, and current changes

The topic (or the subject) and the reason why you are doing the research will determine the information you want to research. The choice is yours!

Select a topic based on current issues and reforms

1. Recycle carried out in Japan
2. Waste of food in Japan’s convenience stores, supermarkets or restaurants
3. Effects of domestic travel in Japan due to the Corona virus

Research steps: follow these steps

1. Find three websites in English with various information about your topic. They can hold similar information or various information
2. Start recording research data, which includes main points, key words, and images. In the example below it is often a good idea to begin formatting your researched information – the same way you are going to use it. Therefore, for essay writing, record main points to focus your ideas on, include potentioal headings or sub headings you may need. In addition, some paraphrased text of information, or direct quotations, can be helpful later.

Example of recording of information using PowerPoint
