A. The Description and Analysis of Data
1. The Description and Analysis of Grammatical Errors
The writer has identified the students’ error and she has calculated the
number of each error. She draws up the result of calculation into table and converting them into percentages. Then, she makes a pie chart based on the result.
After that, she interprets the data after processing the result. This table below is the
