This is a graph taken from the Singapore Tourism Board website. The values and labels for the x and y axes are left out deliberately.
Your task:
1. In your group, decide on the labels and values of the x and y axes.
2. Write a paragraph interpreting the information conveyed by the graph. One group member will key in the group’s response and publish it on the group’s blog (the facilitator will assign a blog to your group).
