The document summarizes migration trends from rural to urban areas in three countries based on data from 2000 to 2025: Country A saw steady increases in migration, particularly from 2010 to 2015, and is predicted to have the highest migration numbers by 2025 at around 86 million. Country C had a dramatic rise after 2005 and is predicted to surpass Country A's figures by 2020, reaching around 95 million by 2025. Country B had a consistent but less dramatic increase from 2000 to 2020, and is predicted to level off at around 30 million after 2020, bucking the trend of the other two countries.

Unit 1: Writing Exercise 10

WRITING TASK 1

You should spend 20 minutes on this task.

The chart below shows the movement of people from rural to urban areas in
three countries and predictions for future years.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and
make comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words

This model answer has been prepared by an examiner as a very good answer.
However, please note that this is just one answer out of many possible
approaches.
The line graph shows the figures in millions for the migration of people from
the countryside to cities in three different countries over the period 2000 to
2025, including future predictions. Overall, it is clear that the shift from rural
communities towards urban metropolitan areas is upwards.

All three countries began the period with similar numbers of urban migrants.
Country A started with the most migrants (around 15 million) and over the
period sees significant increases, particularly between 2010 and 2015 (around
42 to 70 million) with this upward trend predicted to continue (reaching
approximately 86 million by 2025). Similarly, Country C after a slow start
between 2000 and 2005 sees a dramatic rise in urban migration, and after
2015 is predicted to see an even more dramatic increase, surpassing Country
A’s figures in 2020 reaching around 95 million by 2025. However, Country B
bucks the trend somewhat. Whilst consistently steady between 2000 and
2020, its growth is far less dramatic than the other two countries (10 to 30
million). Furthermore, post 2020, it is predicted to level off at around 30
million.

To sum up, while all three countries have seen growth up to 2015, only the
figures for countries A and C are predicted to see continued growth up to
2025.
