4. Written mediation activity:

Imagine you have to explain to a classmate the meaning of one of the two
charts below.
▪ EXERCISE 1: A PIE CHART. CLICK HERE.
▪ EXERCISE 2: A BAR CHART. CLICK HERE

Write between 70 and 90 words, without giving your opinion, just

transmitting the information in the chart. Take into account that the two
models above are longer and include at the end of the description the writer's
opinion.
You shouldn't do that. Just transmit information.
