Picture 2.1 Observing pictures' captions
A caption, also known as a cutline, is text that appears
below an image. Most captions draw attention to something in
the image that is not obvious, such as its relevance to the text.
Captions can consist of a few words of description, or several
sentences. Along with the title, the lead, and section headings,
captions are the most commonly read words in an article, so
they should be succinct and informative
(http://en.m.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Wikipedia:ManualofStyle/Captions)
.
Ca
ptions also include a short title or heading of an
article in a magazine or newspaper. Words shown on a cinema
or television screen to establish the scene of a story are also
called captions.
Th
ere are several criteria for a good caption. A good
caption clearly identifies the subject of the picture without
detailing the obvious. It is succinct, establishes the picture's
relevance to the article, provides context for the picture, and
draws the reader into the article.

D. ASSOCIATING
Work in groups. Find two captions. Discuss
with your friends by focusing on three things:
1) whether they are good, 2) what messages
they express, and 3) what grammar is used.
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, 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), a phrase(s) or a sentence(s).

Fr
om the picture above, you can create different kinds of
caption. You can write ‘poor boy’ to show your sympathy to the
boy. You can also write down,
“Show me your driving license”
to
create a satire commenting on the police officer. You might want to
write,
“Oh, my goodness,”
to echo the boy’s mind why the police
should stop him while he is only riding his bycicle or the police is
thinking why the boy wear the safety helmet for motor rider. Many
other expressions are possible. You can also put the words in
