Task 2: Understand the main
points of information presented in tables
Now, we will focus on exploring tables. This type of GOs is very popular to students and teachers. Therefore, it is necessary for you, as professional EFL teachers, to understand about how to comprehend and present information in tables.
What are tables? What is the purpose of presenting information in tables? How to read tables? How are information presented using them?
Tables are useful arrangement of data in rows and columns, or possibly in a more complex structure. Tables are widely used to organize information in communication, research, and data analysis.
A table can be read from left to right or from top to bottom. If we read a table across the row, we read the information from left to right. If we read a table down a column, we read the information from top to bottom.
The first row and first column in a table will have headers that help identify the information in the table.
Now, you know what is meant by tables. Next, read Text 1 below to find answer to the above questions. There are two exercises you need to complete based on your understanding of Text 1.
A table is a way of writing information in rows and
columns.
The table below shows the average temperature highs

Extracting information from tables
You could be asked questions about this table. To find answers
you should read along the row and down the column. Usually you’ll only need to
find the correct information in the table and give a report, although you could
be asked to make a calculation using information in the table.
Examples
Which month of
the year had the highest average daytime temperature in Jamaica?
¾ Reading down the Average daytime temperature column, you can
see that August has a temperature of 33°C.
What is the
difference between the highest average daytime temperature in December and the
lowest average nighttime temperature in December?
¾ Here you will need to find the row for December and look
across to get the lowest and highest temperatures for that month, then subtract
the lowest temperature from the highest temperature to find the difference: 31
– 21 = 10°C.
A. Do these exercise and quizzes to check your understanding of the table in text 1
1. Which month of the year has the lowest average nighttime temperature?Reading down the Average lowest temperature column, January has a temperature of 19°C

Percentage of Passenger Kilometers by Different Modes
of Transport in Shanghai
The table predicts changes in the types of transport used in Shanghai between 1996 and 2020. The figures show that in 1996 the most popular form of transport was public bus, accounting for 39% of passenger kilometers. This was followed by bicycles with 27% whereas cars and scooters were used less, representing only 15% and 12% of passenger travel respectively. It is expected that in 2020 the use of cars will increase dramatically and account for over half of all distance travelled (52%). Bus journeys, for example, will only represent 22% of distances travelled, while bicycle trips will drop to as little as 3%, similar to the figure for walking. In addition, trains will probably account for 13% of passenger kilometers, while the use of all other means of transport will decrease. Predictably, walking made up the smallest percentage. Overall, the table predicts a massive increase in the use of cars by 2020, at the expense of other forms of transport.
