The first chart below shows the results of a survey which sampled a cross-section of 100,000 people asking if they travelled abroad and why they travelled for the period 1994-98. The second chart shows their destinations over the same period. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The two given table illustrate the reasons for travelling aboard and the several destinations of over 100,000 people in Britain over 4 years since 1994.
Overall, the number of abroad trip decreased slightly in 1995 and went up throughout the remaining time. Most people who travel abroad went to Western for holiday.
As can be seen in the first table, holiday was so far the most common reason for travelling aboard, which made up around 70% of the total in four years while business, the second common purpose, stood at only around 14%. On the other hand, people in the UK rarely went to other countries to visit friends and relatives since the figure, for this reason, was always the lowest among three main reasons, which was only 3181 people in 1998, around one-sixth of holiday trip and four-fifths of a business trip in the same year.
There were only two main destinations for aboard trip in these years in the UK: Western and North America and Western obviously overwhelmed North America in the number of the arrived trip from the UK. The number of the Western trips was always approximately 13 to 19 time higher than those of North America. 1994 witnessed the lowest number of the arrived trip in both destinations which was 919 in North America and 19,371 in a Western while by the year 1998 the number nearly doubled in North America and rose up by 26% in Western.
