先看数据范围 = lihat julat data 五天的门票数从 40 到 200。画图前先找出最大的数，因为刻度的最上面一定要比最大的数大或者一样。也看看这些数字有什么共同点：它们都是 40 的倍数，也都是 20 的倍数。 例子：数据是 15、45、60，都是 15 的倍数。 注意：最大的数决定刻度要画到多高。

look at the range first = lihat julat data The tickets over five days range from 40 to 200. Before drawing, find the biggest number, because the top of the scale must reach at least that far. Also notice what the numbers have in common: they are all multiples of 40, and also multiples of 20. Example: data 15, 45 and 60 are all multiples of 15. Watch out: the biggest number decides how high the scale must go.

选刻度 = pilih senggatan 如果每一格代表 1 张票，要画 200 格，太高了。因为所有数字都是 40 的倍数，选每格 40：0、40、80、120、160、200，只要 5 格，每个长条都刚好停在刻度线上，很容易读。 例子：数据是 50、100、250，可以选每格 50。 注意：选的间隔最好能让长条停在刻度线上。

choosing the scale = pilih senggatan If each step stood for 1 ticket, you would need 200 steps, far too tall. All the numbers are multiples of 40, so choose steps of 40: 0, 40, 80, 120, 160, 200. Only 5 steps are needed, and every bar stops exactly on a scale line, which makes it easy to read. Example: for data 50, 100 and 250, steps of 50 work. Watch out: a good step lets each bar end on a scale line.

用电子表格画图 = guna hamparan elektronik 电脑的电子表格（例如 MS Excel）也可以画条形图。在 A 栏打上日子，B 栏打上门票数；用鼠标选好全部数据，再按 Insert，选条形图，电脑就会画出来。最后记得加上标题和轴的名称，检查长条的高度对不对。 例子：把班上同学喜欢的水果和人数打进两栏，就能做出条形图。 注意：打数据时一个格子一个数字，打错了图也会错。

using a spreadsheet = guna hamparan elektronik A computer spreadsheet such as MS Excel can also draw bar charts. Type the days in column A and the ticket numbers in column B; select all the data with the mouse, click Insert and choose a bar chart, and the computer draws it. Remember to add a title and axis labels, and check that the bars are the right heights. Example: type your classmates' favourite fruits and the numbers of pupils into two columns to make a bar chart. Watch out: put one number in each cell; if a number is typed wrongly, the chart will be wrong too.

选合适的刻度 = senggatan yang sesuai 好的刻度有三个条件：从 0 开始；每一格的间隔一样；刻度画到最大的数据也够，而且长条最好刚好停在刻度线上。拿每一个选项去对照这三个条件，再看看格数会不会太多。 例子：数据 20、40、60，每格 20 很合适。 注意：格数太多，图会太高；刻度不够高，最大的长条画不下。

choosing a suitable scale = senggatan yang sesuai A good scale meets three conditions: it starts at 0; every step is equal; and it reaches at least the biggest data value, ideally with bars ending on scale lines. Check each option against these conditions, and see whether it needs too many steps. Example: for data 20, 40 and 60, steps of 20 are suitable. Watch out: too many steps make the chart too tall; a scale that is too short cannot fit the tallest bar.

找最多 = cari paling banyak 在条形图里，长条越高，数量越多。比较五个长条的高度，找出最高的那一条，再看它下面写的是哪一天。 例子：如果星期三的长条最矮，星期三卖得最少。 注意：要看的是长条的高度，不是长条的位置。

finding the most = cari paling banyak In a bar chart, the taller the bar, the bigger the amount. Compare the heights of the five bars, find the tallest, and read which day is written under it. Example: if Wednesday's bar is the shortest, Wednesday sold the fewest. Watch out: look at the heights of the bars, not where they are placed.

读两条刻度线之间 = baca antara dua senggatan 每一格的间隔是多少？长条停在两条刻度线的正中间，就是从下面那条线再加半格。先算出半格是多少，再加上去。 例子：刻度 0、10、20，长条停在 10 和 20 的正中间，是 15。 注意：半格不一定是 5，要看每一格的间隔。

reading between two scale lines = baca antara dua senggatan How big is each step? A bar ending exactly halfway between two lines is the lower line plus half a step. Work out half a step and add it on. Example: with a scale of 0, 10, 20, a bar halfway between 10 and 20 is 15. Watch out: half a step is not always 5; it depends on the size of each step.
