Band 6+: The line graph below shows the main reasons people gave for moving away from a particular capital city to the countryside. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The line graph demonstrates the main causes which motivated people to relocate from capital city to the countryside from 1990 to 2010.

Overall, there is an increasing trend in all three reasons given: the rising in cost of living, traffic and lifestyle

According to the line graph, the amount of people motivated to move from capital city to the countryside due to the rise in cost of living had the highest starting point, approximately 65000 people, and it reached its peak in 2000, with 85000 people moved due to this reason. However, in the next 10 years period, the number of people changed their place of living due to rises in cost of living dropped to 80000, making this is the only reason which had a decrease in the three.

The number of people taking traffic and lifestyle as motivations to move joint-lowest in the year 1990, both initiated at 20000. However, unlike the amount of people taking lifestyle as the reason to move, which increased slowly but steadily throughout the whole period, from 20000 to 30000 in the year 2000 and 40000 in 2010, the number of people chose to move due to traffic skyrocketed in the second half of the period, from 35000 to 60000, marking it as the figure with the greatest rise overall and the most notable increase in the second half.
