The bar charts compare the water quality and proportion of people who get clean water in two regions from 1990 to 2010. Overall, it was abundantly clear that Australia had a large proportion of people supplied with water and also had a high percentage of water cleanliness rather than South East Asia.

Taking a closer look at the graphs, in 1990, four-fifth of Australian residents were connected to water supplies that had cleanliness around 75%. Meanwhile, under two-fifth of people in South East Asia had access to water supplied with the quality 40%.

In the next twenty years, the proportion of people getting water supplied in Australia was risen and reached almost 100%. This condition was also followed by increasing water quality to over 80%. The same condition happened in South East Asia where nearly 80% of people had access to supplied water. However, in water cleanliness, the proportion shrunk slightly to under 40%.

The migration of residents from borders into the cities has been running in many countries which brings a lot of problems to society, particularly in the cities. The essay will be discussed the causes of this phenomenon and how to prevent it.

Nowadays, a massive spread of information about successful people in the cities is inspired many youths to follow those success stories. The big dream and expectations to get better life have motivated them to move into the urban areas. In addition, limited access to get a job in the countryside may drive them to leave their hometowns. Research shows  65% of people who migrate to the cities said getting a job is the main reason for their moving. Furthermore, better public facilities access such as health, education, and entertainment have been attracting many rural people to live in the cities. Thus, it makes the cities more crowded day by day.

This phenomenon can be reversed by implementing some methods. Firstly, the government should be made rules regarding the qualification of migrants who has access to live in the cities. In this case, the government can create the qualification based on the industry's needs in order to select high-quality candidate workers. For example, migrants who want to work in the textile industry must have A certificate to use a sewing machine. Moreover, the government has to give more attention to the rural areas by making some development programs, such as funding small-scale businesses, improving the quality of education and health facilities, and cutting off the taxes for rural industries. Those programs will open many job opportunities for locals which may reduce the movement to the cities in the future.

In conclusion, most people move to urban areas to find a better life, especially in economics. This phenomenon can be solved by implementing good rules and programs in rural areas.

People have been looking for better opportunities ever since they became imbued with the idea of self-establishment, resolution to prosper and inspiration for being self-sufficient. The issue of people relocating from the countryside in many nations has resulted in problems which are especially seen in cities. I would enumerate the cause as well as the solution that can be taken to do away with it.

To focus on the cause, there has been a paucity of windows to clinch good prospects of work and business in the countryside given the poor infrastructure to support economic and entrepreneurial development. On the contrary, the cities, consequent upon being well equipped with these such as better transport and technology, has ushered the proliferation of those coveted prospects leading to better scope for employment, entrepreneurship and improved standard of living. Such wonders have enticed people to move there and savor the bits and crumbs of these advantages so that they can lead a better lifestyle. However, this had led the cities to become more and more overcrowded, inevitably leading to housing problems, reduced per capita income and the existence of incompatible jobs.

To do away with this problem, the government needs to come up with plans and schemes to develop the countryside in terms of similar infrastructures that would highlight the opportunities of endeavor by leveraging the advantages the countryside is endowed with. For example, since countryside's economy happens to be agrarian in nature, government should make adequate reforms of arable lands so that it showcase veritable prospects of doing business, to companies having good reputation in food and beverage industries to set up factories, warehouses and offices in those areas. This would inevitably broaden the scope of employment and would also encourage people to take up endeavors of creating ancillary businesses to support those ventures with raw materials, labor and logistics, thereby averting the possibility of mass exodus and aggravating the burden on cities.

Thus, I believe that this problem, though a force to reckon with, can easily be managed if its properly understood to be dealt with prompt and responsible measures.

The above diagram presents two charts depicting the percentage of people supplied with water and its quality supplied to two provinces in the years 1990 and 2010. The given provinces are Australia and South East Asia.

To begin with the first chart, it can be seen that more percentage of people were supplied with water in the latter year than in the former. Australia is seen to have exceeded southeast Asia in this regard for both the years. In terms of percentage the percentage of people supplied with water in Australia in 1990 is found to be 80%, while it is close to 40% in southeast Asia at that time, a little less than half compared to that of the former. In 2010, though the percentage of people supplied with water has increased in both the countries, the rate of increase has been higher for southeast Asia that increased by almost twice the amount compared to the province's share in 1990 i.e. almost 80% from 40%. As for Australia, the increase in percentage has been 20% i.e. almost 100% from 80%.\

As for the second chart, Australia exceeds south east Asia with regard to degree of cleanliness of water supplied as well. Such degree is found to be 60% in 1990 for Australia compared to 40% for southeast Asia in 1990. In terms of improvement in this degree, it has increased for Australia from 65% to over 80% in 1990 and 2010 respectively, while for southeast Asia, it has declined by a marginal amount from 40% to approximately 38% during the given years, supporting the fact that the degree of cleanliness in terms of water supplied has remained basically the same in southeast Asia.

Overall, Australia is seen to have exceeded southeast Asia with regard to the percentage of people and cleanliness in terms of availability and as well the quality of water supplied.

These days most of the people around the world are preferring to live in urban areas rather than rural areas but there are many problems associated with it. This essay will discuss causes and provide solutions to overcome these problems.
The most important problem of this is air pollution. air pollution is drastically increasing with population because most people are preferring to use their own vehicle so the number of vehicles has been growing this vehicle emit lots of harmful gasses to run using petrol. Another problem associated with this is in villages number of people doing farming has been rapidly decreasing this will lead to food shortage and a lack of interest in agriculture in further generations.

The solution for polluting air is implementing the use of eco-friendly vehicles and more use of public transport. The usage of electric vehicles reduces air pollution and noise pollution in urban areas. In addition to this government should encourage citizens to rely more on public transport by increasing the number of vehicles so pollution can be controlled up to some extent. Lastly, It is the responsibility of this generation and government to encourage citizens to do agriculture by implementing proper schemes and letting know the importance of agriculture to future generations so that at least some people can be in the agricultural sector and they can help in the production of food sources and live happily in villages surrounded by a pleasant environment.

In conclusion,  It is the government and individuals should understand themselves about causes of shifting to urban areas than living in rural areas.

TASK 2


It is possible to find living people in every part of a country. Due to economic and vital issues in domestic circulation, the movement from small areas to big cities has recently gained momentum. Problems are likely to occur as a result of this mobility towards cities.

People living in small towns are moving to city centres to lead a more qualified life. It ıs a known fact that job opportunities and the amount of salary are higher in the city centre. For a further explanation, the difference between a person's salary doing the same job in a town and city in Turkey is half. A second but equally important point highlights that health facilities in big cities are highly reachable compared to the countryside. A significant example of this situation is patients requiring long treatment, which are transposed to huge hospitals in cities.

By improving the living conditions of people living in smaller areas such as villages and towns compared to cities, it can be ensured that intensive migration to city centres can be prevented. Improving working areas and creating new business lines for living people in small towns, can solve for work recolation.  As an example of a creative solution from the Netherlands, the government created new job options and high wage in the agriculture and floristry industry in the countryside, it resulted in decreased density population in the city centre. In addition, constructing well-equipped health areas and providing easy access to places where people are concentrated will increase the satisfaction of citizens. New studies from Harvard Sociology Institute suggest that increasing the rate of achieving sufficient health conditions increases people's commitment to where they live.

In conclusion, citizens choose their living places according to their job opportunities and health facilities. Policymakers first aim for decreasing population in cities should be providing quality health centres and generating new workplaces for their rural communities.
