Question

Đề bài: The graph below gives information about changes in the birth and death rates in New Zealand between 1901 and 2101.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The line graph shows data about how the birth and death rates in New Zealand have changed from 1901 until the present and predicted figures until 2101.

Overall, the rate of birth has gone up and down wildly, while that of death has experienced a significant increase in the same period.

Starting from 20,000 in 1901, which was two times higher than the death rate, at 10,000, the birth rate then rose slowly within 40 years before reaching a peak of around  65,000 in 1961, which has been followed by wild fluctuations until 2021. On the other hand, the rate of death fluctuated slightly in the first century and is climbing gradually to about 30,000 at present. 

Over the next 20 years, the death rate is anticipated to grow sharply and as a result overtake the rate of birth, both of which are at nearly 50,000.  After that, while the predicted rate of death continues to rise and remains stable at around 60,000 in 2101, that of birth experiences a slow decrease to approximately 45,000 at the same time.

Starting from 20,000 in 1901, which was two times higher than the death rate, at 10,000, the birth rate then rose slowly within 40 years before reaching a peak of around  65,000 in 1961, which has been followed by wild fluctuations until 2021 (câu này quá dài, nên cắt ý). On the other hand, the rate of death fluctuated slightly in the first century and is climbing gradually to about 30,000 at present.  (cái present không cần thiết, nên tiếp tục: and it is expected to reveal a significant upward trend in the future)

 

Over the next 20 years, the death rate is anticipated to grow sharply and as a result overtake the rate of birth, both of which are at nearly 50,000. (không rõ ý)  After that, while the predicted rate of death continues to rise and remains stable at around 60,000 in 2101, that of birth will experiences a slow decrease to approximately 45,000 at the same time.
