Possible answers: Another example for reference

All members of our group think that rural life is better than urban life. We all agree that the cost of living is much cheaper in rural areas. People are also more friendly and helpful. We can live in an environment with little or no pollution. In addition, the crime rate is fairly low compared to the city. The only problem is that people have little access to modern facilities and technology. It is important that the government invest more in rural areas so that people there can have the same opportunities as people in the cities.

- T. checks answers as a class.

Key: 1. There has been a dramatic rise in the migration of young people to big cities.

3. There was an increase of over 30% in the urbanisation rate in Indonesia from 1969 to 2009.

4. The rate of urbanisation in South Korea rose sharply during the period between 1969 and 1989.

5. There was a slight decrease in the urbanisation rate in this city during the economic crisis in 2008.

- T. asks Ss to write the first draft of their line graph description.

- Ss revise their drafts based on their partners’ comments.

- T collects Ss’ final pieces of writing for checking and marking.

Suggested answer: The line graph shows the rate of urbanisation in two countries, namely Indonesia and South Korea, from the mid-1960s to 2009.

In the mid-1960s, the rate of urbanisation in Indonesia was about 17%, followed by a slight increase of 3% in 1969. Then the rate remained stable at around 20% for a ten-year period from 1969 to 1979. In the next fifteen years, there was a steady rise in the rate of urbanisation in this country. From 1995 to 2009, Indonesia’s urbanisation rate increased sharply, reaching over 50%.

South Korea’s urbanisation rate was about 30% in 1969, roughly 10% higher than that of Indonesia. The rate went up sharply throughout the next thirty-year period to about 82% in 2005, and then levelled off towards 2009.

In conclusion, it is clear that while both countries experienced a growth in their urbanisation rate, in South Koreait almost doubled by the end of the period.
