Exercise # 2 - IELTS
Hello, there! Could someone help me with correcting these paragraphs, please? Thanks in advance. PS: I haven't attached the line and bar charts because I don't have them at hand.
The line chart exhibits ["Exhibits" is very formal. "Shows," or "displays" is fine, but it's up to you] the number of visitors from
the UK who went overseas and those
foreign residents who visited
the UK between 1979 and 1999, whereas the bar chart displays which countries
were mostly chosen by UK inhabitants in 1999. Generally speaking, what can be pointed out is that visits abroad by UK residents
were considerably higher compared to those overseas people who visited the UK in the period under consideration.
As it stands [Just a suggestion. It's not clear what "to being" is intended to mean], both visits abroad by UK residents and visits to the UK by overseas residents increased steadly from 1979 to 1999. Although the number of visitors to and from UK started at
approximately 10 million in 1979, the gap
has become [perfect tense] quite significant at the end of the period. That is, in 1999. Where visits abroad by UK residents rose to over 50
million, visits to the UK by abroad inhabitants ["abroad inhabitants" makes sense, but it's not really something we use in English. Suggest "Foreign Residents"] increased
to just under 30
million. In addition, France is by far the most popular country chosen by UK residents in 1999, followed by Spain and USA, at around 9 and 3
million, respectively. [very good!]
