A note to remember:

                                   There  are  several  criteria  for a  good  caption.
                                 A good caption clearly identifies the subject of the
                                 picture without detailing the obvious. It is succinct.
                                 It establishes the picture's relevance to the picture,
                                 provides context  for the  picture,  and  draws the
                                 reader into the message.
                                   So  related  to  the  structure  of  a  caption,  it  can
                                 be  written  in  the  form a  word(s),  phrase(s) or
                                 sentence(s).




                    C. WRITING AND DESCRIBING CAPTIONS


                               Task 1: What's the caption?
                               Look at the following picture and write a caption for

                               the picture.





                           When writing a caption, the descriptive words accompanying
                    the caption should offer more complete information about the picture.
                    The words that you choose depend on the message that you want to
                    send to your reader.
