IELTS Writing Task 1 on migration reasons
This pie chart demonstrates the main migration and emigration reasons in the United Kingdom in 2007. The main reasons are formal study, definite job, accompany and join, looking for work and so on.
- immigration and emigration reasons
- to and from the United Kingdom
In the year 2007, 30% of people came and immigrated to the UK for a definite job. The second highest was for getting formal studies, which was 26 percent. Moving further, 15% of people wanted to join and accompany their families. Furthermore, 12% of them were looking for work. 11% of them had other reasons and 6% for no reason stated.
- exactly 30%
- ‘came and immigrated to’ have almost the same meaning.
- The second highest = The second most important reason …
- You should know the slight differences between ‘study’ and ‘studies’ that are used as nouns.
- 26 percent = Use either symbols like % or spell it out throughout the essay.
- Moving further is NOT a conjunction.
- … 12% and 11% of the immigrants were pursuing careers and had some other reasons respectively.
- … had no specific / clear reason = how to change statistical data to interpreted content or report
In contrast, the reason for emigration to the UK because of a definite job is 29%. The second level is looking for work with 22%, and 18% were not stated. 14% of people had other reasons from the reasons that were mentioned. In addition, 13 % wanted to join their families. Ultimately, 4% emigrated for formal studies. This was 26% for immigration reasons. We can assume from this that people worldwide considered the UK as a relevant and authentic country to get a formal study back in 2007.
