Writing a Report — 4

Imagine that you are a linguist doing research into the dialogues in children's animated films. You have collected some data on the ways male and female characters talk in Disney princess movies (see the charts below). Write a brief report to accompany the charts.

Use the following words in your report (put them in the correct grammar form if necessary):

1. dominate
2. contrast
3. example
4. in total
5. gender

Underline the required words when used in your report.

Write 220–250 words.

Use the following plan:

• make an opening statement;
• present the information given in the charts, outlining most significant trends and comparing different periods;
• make a conclusion.
