Use the information and language from this lesson to answer this Writing Task 1. You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The line chart below shows the results of a survey giving the reasons why people moved to the capital city of a particular country. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.
