Chemical Fertilisers K? Organic Manure
The bar chart makes an interesting study of the use of chemical fertilisers and organic manure in 50 years from 1951 to 2001. Interestingly it’s a full circle for chemical fertilisers because if it was 70 kilogram per acre in 1951, in 2001 also the usage remained the same. Nevertheless, the use of chemical fertilisers steadily went down, the usage coming down to mere 30 kilograms per acre, the lowest ever, in 1981. However, it picked up again, shooting up to 60 kilograms per acre in 1991, to come back finally to the original figure of 70 kilograms per acre in 2001. The story of organic manure is the same, though in the reverse order. The use which was as low as 10 kilograms per acre in 1951 rose to 30 kilograms in 1961.1971 and 1981 witnessed a similar rise, the figures being 50 and 70. But, 1991 witnessed a fall with the usage coming down to 50 kilograms. 2001 recorded a further fall with the usage standing at 30 kilograms per acre.

The pie charts which show the voters’ turnout in the general elections in the post-independent India in fifty years make a few interesting revelations. If we take the two charts as before and after fifty years, we see that the percentage of male voters has remained constant at 45%. However, female franchise has increased from 25% to 35% and freshers’ voting from 10% to 15%. The only section wherein there is a drop in the voting percentage is of senior citizens whose representation has dropped from 20% to 5%.

3. The following line graph provides information about the growth of population in India over a period of 50 years. Using the information, write a report in about 120 words.
2nd PUC English Grammar Notes Report Writing image - 3

Population Growth
The line graph shows the growth of population in India over a period of 50 years from 1961 to 2011. We can see that population that was below 400 million in 1961 has tripled in 50 years and is more than 1200 million in 2011. However, it is seen from the graph that in the last one decade between 2001 and 2011, there is a control on the population growth and the increase is negligible. This matches the negligible growth in the decade between 1961 and 1971. Other three decades from 1971 and 2001 witnessed an increase of two million in each decade.

This could be the result of the various government schemes and awareness programmes. However, we need to go on a more rigorous campaign and bring about further reduction especially in the families of people who are below the poverty line. Only then India as a nation can develop.

4. The following bar graph shows the pass percentage of boys and girls of a Government P.U. College in II PUC Annual Examination of April 2009. Based on the information, prepare a report in about 120 words.
2nd PUC English Grammar Notes Report Writing image - 4

Comparative Analysis of the Performance of Boys and Girls

The bar graph shows the pass percentage of the II PU students of a Government College in the Annual Examination of April 2009 in four subjects in Arts and two languages. We see that girls have performed either as good as or better than boys in all papers except Economics. In Kannada, if girls have the pass percentage as 100, boys are at only 90. In English, girls have 40 as pass percentage and boys 30. In History and Sociology, girls and boys stand at the same level with 50 and 60 as pass percentages respectively In Political Science 70% girls and 60% boys have passed. Only in Economics boys have an upper hand over girls by 10% and are at 50%.

The bar graph also shows that if the best performance of students is in the Kannada language, their worst performance is in English. This could be because most of the students are first generation learners of English. Hence it is necessary for the college to conduct remedial classes in English. Otherwise, the success rate of the college will be very low despite the fact that the students perform well in all the subjects.

5. Write a report on age composition of the population of India in 2001 and 2011 based on the data given in the pie chart below:
2nd PUC English Grammar Notes Report Writing image - 5
Age Composition

The two pie charts compare the age composition of the population of India in 2001 and 2011.1n the period of 10 years, except for slight variations, the age composition has remained more or less the same.

In the category of 0 – 14 years there is a drop of 5% in the age composition. If it was 34% in 2001, it came down to 29% in 2011. However, in both the other categories there was an increase. In the 15 – 59 years’ category, there was an increase of 4%. In the 60 and above category, the increase was by 1% only. The charts make it clear that while the longevity of life span has gone up by 1%, infant mortality rate also has gone up by 5%. It is surprising that the age composition of 0 – 14 years has gone down despite the scientific advances. Perhaps the breakthrough in the medical field explains the longer life span. Probably and sadly the advancement in science is also responsible for the decrease in the number of children in the first category as in the rural areas female infanticide is not uncommon.

6. Here is a bar chart showing the literacy rate of male and female population ¡n Karnataka. Based on this data, write a report ¡n about 120 words.
2nd PUC English Grammar Notes Report Writing image - 6
Literacy Rate in Karnataka

The vertical bar graph on the Literacy Rate from 1950 to 2000 in Karnataka shows that in the period of 50 years women have always had lower literacy rates than men. However, the overall literacy rate of both men and women has shown a tremendous improvement in half a century in independent India. In the year 1950, if only 10 percent men were literate, in the year 2000, 70 percent men were literate. When it came to women, the progress was from 5% to 60%. The bigger gap of 10% in the literacy rate of men and women was in the years 1960,1980,1990 and 2000. The smaller gap of 5% was in the years 1950 and 1970.

The graphs make it clear that unless the government makes special provisions to bring inequality, more number of women than men will continue to remain illiterate.

7. The following vertical bar graph represents data about two major crops i.e., maize and sugar cane, grown in Karnataka State from 1960 to 2000. Based on the information, write a report in about 120 words.
2nd PUC English Grammar Notes Report Writing image - 7
Maize and Sugar Cane in Karnataka

The vertical bar graph about the land used for growing maize and sugar cane in Karnataka between 1960 and 2000 reveals interesting facts. We see that in four decades there has been a complete reversal of the situation. In 1960 maize was grown in 20 lakh acres of land and sugar cane was grown in only 5 lakh acres. In 1970, after a decade, the situation remained the same. But in 1980 the land under maize crop came down to 15 lakh acres and that under sugar cane shot up to 10 lakh acres. The same trend continued in 1990 and 2000, with the land used for maize falling down to 10 lakh and less than 10 lakh acres, and the land used for growing sugar cane rising up to 15 lakh and 20 lakh acres.

Thus it is very clear that the demand for sugarcane has been steadily increasing resulting in more and more land being used for growing it.

8. Given below is a representation of the number of people migrating from villages to cities in the past few decades. Write a report for the local newspaper in about 120 words.
2nd PUC English Grammar Notes Report Writing image - 8
From Villages to Cities – In Search of Greener Pastures

Ever since the world became industrialized, there has been a steady exodus of people from villages to cities. The graph is a proof of this disturbing phenomenon and shows the increase in the number of people coming to the urban areas from the rural areas. In 1970, if only 20% migrated from the countryside to the cities, in 1980 the percentage rose to 30. Even in the next two decades the same increase continued and hence in 2000 the increase went up to 50%. This trend is owing to the misconception that people can make easy money in cities. It is also owing to the false notion that city life is easy and full of pleasures. Very often people go through pathetic hardships in cities. But they don’t go back to villages because either they feel ashamed to do that or they have nothing left in the village to go back to. The government should study the problem and take appropriate steps to curb the inflow of people into the cities as it is against the development of both cities and villages.

9. The following pie charts represent the information about the students who got scholarship during 2013-14 and 2014-15 academic years for different courses. Use this data to write a report in about 120 words.

A report on the scholarships received by students in the years 2013-14 and 2014-15 In the years 2013-14 and 2014-15 students received scholarships for four different courses. The scholarships received for Engineering and Medical courses in the two years remained the same. For Engineering it was 15% and for Medical, it was 10%. A noticeable change was seen in the Arts and Commerce courses. If the Arts scholarship was 35% in 2013-14, it dropped to 20% in 2014-15. On the other hand, Commerce Course which was 40% in 2013-14, increased to 55% in 2014-15. It is an indicator to the popularity of Commerce over Arts in the recent years.

10. Student-teacher ratio plays an important role in imparting education. Given below is the bar graph that represents data pertaining to this ratio in different states of our country.
2nd PUC English Grammar Notes Report Writing image - 10
Student-teacher Ratio

India is a land that has the gurukula system as a model for ideal education. The ancient system teaching was done on a one-to-one basis. However, over the years things have changed and now education is commercialised to such an extent that the only rule followed by educational institutions is, ‘The more, the merrier.’ That is why a survey was conducted to study the student-teacher ratio in five states of India. In each state the survey included both private and government schools. The same number of schools was studied in each state. The survey revealed that the capital of India – Delhi – had the healthiest ratio of one teacher for 30 students (1:30). At the other extreme was Assam with 70 students for one teacher (1:70). Close on the heels of Assam was Odisha with the ratio of 1: 60. Kerala and Bihar were both at 1:40. It’s a well-known fact that unless individual attention is given, students cannot have a holistic development. So, it is the responsibility of the government to invest more on the education sector and appoint more teachers so that education becomes more meaningful and pleasurable for students.

11. The following two pie charts give a graphic representation of the area of land used for different purposes in and around Bangalore. Prepare a report in about 120 words.
2nd PUC English Grammar Notes Report Writing image - 11
A report on the land used for different purposes in and around Bangalore in 1970 and 2010:

The pie charts giving the graphic representation of the area of land used for different purposes in and around Bangalore in 1970 and 2010 clearly show the disturbing aspects of growth in 40 years. It is clear that the urban residential area and industrial area have grown at the cost of lakes, gardens and agricultural land. The residential area which comprised only 30% of the land in 1970, increased to 45% in 2010. Likewise, the industrial area, which was only 15% in 1970, increased to 25% in 2010. These two increases led to the reduction of the area under lakes and gardens from 10% to 5% and a greater reduction of the agricultural land from 45% to 25%. This can have serious implications. On the one hand, if it means a blow to the beauty of Bangalore city with the reduction of lakes and gardens, on the other, it can mean a serious blow to the very sustenance of life with the reduction of agricultural land. Hence it is necessary for both authorities and citizens to fight urbanisation and retain the health and beauty of Bangalore.

12. Write a report on how students acquire knowledge to get success in their exams between the age group of 15 to 20 years, based on the information given in the pie chart below.

If Classroom and Self Study is at 20%, Guides and Notes contribute 15% towards the acquisition of knowledge. The least is through Books and Magazines as it constitutes only 10%.

The Chart makes it very clear that students should be encouraged to use the Internet and Electronic Gadgets to succeed in examinations. Schools and colleges should bear this in mind and teachers themselves should create awareness among students about the use of the Internet and the Electronic Gadgets.

13. The following Pie-chart gives a graphic representation on the hobbies of students in the age group of 15-20 years. Using the Information, write a report In about 120 words.

However, the youth seem to be active when it comes to music and dance as 20% indulge in these artistic pursuits. They are active in the field of sports as the percentage of youth interested in this hobby is 25. It is also heartening to know that at least 5% serve the less fortunate by having social service as their hobby. But the majority of the youth, that is 35%, watch T.V.serials as their pastime.

While watching T.V. is not a crime, it would be healthier if more and more youth indulged in more and more physical activities because sedentary lifestyle can lead to many physical problems. The youth of today should use their potential and carve a bright future for themselves.

The preference of boys for outdoor activities could be because of the gender stereotypes. It is better that we encourage girls to take up outdoor games as it is healthy.
