I feel a bit nervous to precisely and logically summarize the content of the visuals because even I am familiar with the different types of visuals, I do not have an enough experience to interpret the information in a well organized manner. In order to describe them, I think present tense is used and vocabularies for showing facts and figures are necessary. For me, maps a challenging because I need to know certain vocabularies to describe the location and explain about the time period.
a multiple diagram will be a challenge to write
I think describing a process or flowchart will be little challenging.
All of the types of information present factual information that the examiner needs to interpret. I just need to make sure to be objective about the response that I would give. Answering a combination of two graphs is the part where I feel most challenged.
The existence of different visuals makes me nervous. To use the correct vocabulary, you must understand the function of the visual given. For example, if it´s a line graph, the words related to trends should be used.
The most difficult visual to me could be multiple graphs, I imagine that, to include all the relevant information, you should identify every piece of information provided by each graph, while considering the purpose of each.
