Commenting on a document /10
Stage 1: introduction - Presenting the document
Rephrase references (type, title, author, source, publication date and place) : This line graph shows water use and management from 1960 to 2000 in Australia,
Give context (scale of the document, type of country mentioned): so on a national scale in a developed country.
Stage 2: Analysing the document
Describing
- What you see (doc) structured & detailed description |
Interpreting
- What you know (notions) add & structure the definition of key notions |
1st trend (tendance): water use increased - from 6000 litres per person per day in 1960 - to 8000 litres per person per day in 1980: it peaked. |
=> Negative impact: bad/unsustainable water management Australians used a lot of water, they wasted (gaspiller) water: - socially, it means a very good access to basic services (water), so a good quality of life (well-being of a population) - but economically, they spent a lot of money to pay for water and environmentally, they damaged the environment |
2nd trend (tendance): water use decreased - from 8000 litres per person per day in 1980 - to 4000 litres per person per day in 2000 |
=> Positive aspect: good/sustainable water management Australians used less water, they economized (économiser une ressource) water: - socially, it means less good access to basic services (water), so a lower quality of life (well-being of a population) - but economically, they saved (économiser de l'argent) money by paying less and environmentally, they protected the environment |
Stage 3: Concluding
Assess doc (reliable/biased justified): To conclude, this document is unreliable because some references are missing : the author, the date, the source. It is unbiased because we can't see the author's opinion as we only have figures.
Sum-up ideas (+ nuance/opening): To recap, this graph shows that using too much water is unsustainable but Australians reduced their water use which means a more sustainable water management.
