Question

The line graph below shows the urbanisation rate in South Korea and Indonesia. Write a description (of about 150 words) of the trends in the graph.

Writing:
The line chart below compares and contrasts data on the differences in the amount of urbanisation rate, earned by two states, namely South Korea and Indonesia, over a forty-year period from 1969 to 2009.

Overall, the trend in urbanisation proportion in all of two nations is upturned. South Korea’s urbanisation rate was much higher than that of Indonesia.
In the mid of 1960s, the rate of urbanisation in Indonesia was about 17%, which then increased slightly and reached 20% in 1969. After that, this number was levelled off at around 20% for a ten-year period from 1969 to 1979. From 1979 to 1995, there was a steady growth in the rate of urbanisation in this country. Throughout the next fifteen-year, Indonesia’s urbanisation rate rised sharply, peaking at over 50% in 2009.
The rate of urbanisation in South Korea was about 30%, roughly 10% higher than that of Indonesia. The percentage went up rapidly during the next thirty-year period to about 82% in 2005, and then remained stable towards 2009.

In conclusion,
