Task 1: The graph below gives information about the percentage of population in four Asian countries living in cities from 1970 to 2020 with predictions for 2030 and 2040. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

The line graph displays the changes in the proportion of the

population

which were living in cities from four countries within the Asia continent between the years 1970 to 2020 and

also

provides future predictions for the next twenty years.

Thailand

in

population

and in the next ten years, it even crossed the Philippines as well becoming the second most populated country in Asia continent by the year 2020 and
