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.

IELTS Writing Task 1 can be quite challenging since you are expected to understand graphs, charts, or the combination of the two. Combined graph has its own level of difficulty. Take a look at a combined graph below. In many cases of Writing Task 1, we might have different ways of arranging ideas. As I have explained in the previous material, the organization of ideas for body paragraph 1 and 2 is determined by the major trend. Sometimes, there is not much information presented in one part of the graph, and this eventually results in the paragraph being not proportional. Take a look at the first sample writing below. I divided the writing based on the graph, so that it becomes like this: Arrangement of Ideas (1) - Pie Charts and Bar Graphs Paragraph 1 : Overview Paragraph 2 : Body paragraph 1 (Pie charts) Paragraph 3 : Body paragraph 2 (Bar graphs) The length of the second and the third paragraph end up being not proportional. There is too much information in paragraph 3. The third par...
