Text B. Read the following passage, paraphrase it. Discuss the ways graphics affects people in workplace.



 

As we move into the technological age, we witness the increasing use of graphics all around us, and the influence that graphics has on the way everyone thinks, The visual world in which we live reminds us that graphics has enormous impact on our lives. Computer users, for example, use graphic design within the texts they prepare on a word processor. Someresearchers believe that graphics will actually help people communicate more effectively whether on a influence — an effect on someone or something without the use of direct force or command Synonym: impact укр. вплив enormous — extremely large укр. величезний actually — in fact, really, in reality, in actuality укр. фактично, насправдi

computer screen or a printed page. The goal of graphic design is to present information that can be understood easily and quickly. Graphic designs usually mean headlines, charts, graphs, tables, diagrams, symbols and pictures.

GRAPHS are a visual way of presenting information, especially statistical data. The three most important types of graphs are:

line graphs bar graphs are useful in showing changes and trends (general tendencies or directions in the way a situation is changing or developing) involving quantities or amounts over time

 

Scientists & Engineers in the Labor Force Per 10,000 Labor Force Ratio of Science and Engineering Degrees to Total First University Degrees

 


52 Chapter 3

R&D Scientists and Engineers Per 10.000 Population, 1995

 

circle graphs sometimes called pie graphs, show percentage, and whole is divided into parts

 

When analyzing information in a line or bar graph, note time periods and increases or decreases in amounts. In a circle graph, note the relationship of each part to the whole. Rank the percentages from the greatest to the least.

Comment on these graphs:

The present stock and flow of human resources engaged in the global discovery and application of science and technology are critical to the future pace of innovation. Historically, the world's largest reservoirs of scientists and engineers have rested in the Western economies. Over time, however, Asia, especially Japan, has begun to build equivalent pools of scientists and engineers in the labor force, and emerging economies are showing signs of producing relatively high proportions of scientists and engineers among their university graduating cohorts. As the global economy expands and nations become ever more interconnected, there may be reason to hope for a smoothing out of at least some aspects of global S&T human resources capacity. pool of scientists, reservoir of scientists укр. кадри (резерв) вчених cohort — any group of people who share some common quality (same age etc.) укр. когорта, група S&T — Science and Technology укр. наука i техніка

Exercise 12. Study the following graph and answer the questions about it:

Elements that make up the earth's crust

 

1. What elements make up the fourth largest percentage of the earth's crust?

2. Does oxygen make up more, less, or about the same percentage of the earth's crust as compared to all the other elements together?

3. What three elements make up almost equal percentage of the earth's crust?

4. Do sodium and calcium together make up a larger percentage than aluminium?
