Exercise # 9 - IELTS Hello everybody! Would you mind helping me with this writing checking for grammar and spelling, please? In case you want to suggest any recommendation, feel free to do it. Thanks in advance. PS: I've attached the graph I've based my essay on. The bar chart displays five destinations where British people emigrated from 2004 to 2007. In brief, Australia was the top five country chosen by British to go, whereas the rest of the countries remained by far behind of it over the time frame considered. In detail, Australia received between approximately 40 and 50 thousand of people from Britain over time, reaching a peak at around 50 thousand of inmigrants by 2006. These figures were considerably greater to those of the others countries. Spain was the only country closer to those quantities of people, although the amount of British inmigrants to this country ranged from 28 to 35 thousand. In contrast, New Zealand and the USA stayed among the countries less prefereable with levels fluctuating between 18 and 23 thousand. On the other hand, British inmigrant seem to have fallen throughout the time frame considered. This is evidenced, for example, in 2007, when there was a clear decrease of people in all of the countries: 9% in Australia, 7% in France, 5% in Spain, 4% in the USA and 2% in New Zealand. However, this pattern didn't remain the same for the rest of the years. For instance, in 2005, the inmigrants slightly dropped in most of the countries, ranging between 5% and 2%, except in France and Spain, which displayed the opposite behaviour, rising 10% and 2%, respectively.

Exercise # 9 - IELTS

Hello everybody! Would you mind helping me with this writing checking for grammar and spelling, please? In case you want to suggest any recommendation, feel free to do it. Thanks in advance. PS: I've attached the graph I've based my essay on.

The bar chart displays five destinations where British people emigrated from 2004 to 2007. In brief, Australia was the top five country chosen by British to visit, whereas the rest of the countries remained by far behind of it in the time frame considered.

In detail, Australia received between approximately 40 and 50 thousand of people from Britain over time, reaching a peak at around 50 thousand of inmigrants by 2006. These figures were considerably greater to those of the other countries. Spain was the only country close to receiving those quantities of people, although the amount of British immigrants to Spain ranged from 28 to 35 thousand. In contrast, New Zealand and the USA remained among the countries less-preferred with levels fluctuating between 18 and 23 thousand.

On the other hand, the amount of British emigration* seems to have fallen throughout the time frame considered. This is evidenced by a clear decrease in 2007 in all of the countries: 9% in Australia, 7% in France, 5% in Spain, 4% in the USA and 2% in New Zealand. However, this pattern didn't remain the same for the remaining years. For instance, in 2005, the number of British immigrants slightly dropped in most of the countries, ranging between 5% and 2%, except in France and Spain, which displayed the opposite behaviour, rising 10% and 2%, respectively.


Matías, I corrected your writing as I did the other one that you submitted.  

*the amount of British emigration   -  I rephrased your sentence because I was confused with the way your were using "immigrant".  After reading the rest of your paragraph, it became clear that you were discussing the movement of the British to these other countries.  That is called:  "emigration" and the verb is "to emigrate".  When referring to persons who emigrated from their original home to a new country, the word is "immigration" and the verb is "to immigrate".  Y, por supuesto, en inglés nosotros escribimos "immigrant" con "mm" en vez de "nm" como en "inmigrante".    Richard
