[HS] 3 – Why it is convenient to use pictograms

PASSAGE READING

Please read aloud the following passage. I will check your pronunciation as you read.

READ

Advantages of Pictograms

Cultural background affects how people understand a certain context. If the symbols used in a pictogram are not common, people might find its message confusing. A pictogram that fails to deliver the message it intends is useless.

Another advantage is that since it uses symbols, it is easier to understand compared to written signs. People quickly understand pictograms by simply looking at them. Because of this, pictograms take the place of long written signs in public places.
