The data analysis is done in four stages. The first stage, the verbal interview conversation is decoded and the exercise in writing is read from beginning to end. At the second stage, the static themes and literals are determined. For the third stage, the analysis is shown in the chart. And at the last stage, the main experience is put forward.
