Sebagian besar vocabulary dalam bahasa Inggris tidak memiliki bentuknya sendiri, melainkan merupakan turunan dari kelas kata lain yang ditambahkan awalan (prefix) atau akhiran (suffix). Penambahan awalan atau akhiran tersebut dapat membentuk makna dan bahkan kelas kata yang baru. Dengan mengetahui asal muasal pembentukan kata tersebut, maka dengan mudah kita dapat memahami makna dari kata tersebut tanpa perlu mencarinya dalam kamus lagi.

Today, we are going to discuss how a table is described in IELTS Writing Task 1. Previously, we have discussed three other graphs here , here and here . Although the structure of IELTS Writing Task 1 is pretty much the same, we have to always remember that the difficulty level may be different for each graph. For instance, one may find it easier to understand a bar graph, a pie chart and a line graph, but face a lot of challenges trying to describe a table. A table could be too complex too understand and this is one thing that we need to anticipate. For today's discussion, we are going to use a simple table. After learning how a simple table is described, we are going to discuss a more complex table later as an exercise. Take a look at a table below.
