Tables and figures make the presentation not only simple and clear but attractive as well. Encoding and Decoding are two common and useful strategies in presenting data or facts. Encoding is the process by which data (facts, figures, etc.) are presented in a non- verbal form, i.e., as tables, graphs, etc.
Decoding is the process by which graphic representations such as tables and graphs are interpreted so that the data are made meaningful to the readers. The passage given below is on Kabbadi. Read the passage and complete the activities that follow. Kabbadi (கபடி - in Tamil) is a contact team sport that originated in Tamil Nadu, India.
It is the national sport of Bangladesh. It is also popular in South Asia and is the state game of the Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Punjab and Telangana. Kabbadi is played between two teams of seven players: the objective of the game is for a single player on offence referred to as a 'raider', to run in to the opposing teams half of a court, tag out as many of their defenders as possible, and return to their own half of the court–all without being tackled by the defenders. Points are scored for each player tagged by the raider, while the opposing team earns a point for stopping the raider.
Players are taken out of the game if they are tagged or tackled, but can be 'revived' for each point scored by their team from a tag or tackle. The raider should hold his breath and utter the words like 'kabbadi kabbadi, hututu hututu, chadu kudu' etc. while the opponents try to catch him. If he stops uttering these words, he is considered out.
