The bar chart given is a pictorial representation of British Emigration to various parts of the globe for the year 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.

It is clear from the graph that majority of the Emigrants decided to move to Australia followed closely by Spain. Number of people who moved to Australia was the highest in the year 2006 with the number remaining similar in other years. From the given data, we can assume that Spain and New Zealand have become less favourable destinations over the years, as the number of people moving to those countries has consistently decreased.

The number of emigrants going to the United States of America keeps fluctuating with even years having higher number of emigrants than their odd counterparts. France is the only country which shows a very haphazard trend over the years. Twenty-two thousand people migrated to the country in 2004. This number increased by a whooping 45 percent to 32000 after which it dropped to 26000 and 18000 in the subsequent years.

Observing the overall trend across countries, it can be concluded that with the overall trend of Emigration has decreased the years. It can be assumed that British government is taking steps towards the betterment of the populace leading to the downfall in the number of people moving to other nations.

English is one of the mostly widely spoken language across the world. Many countries in the world have accepted english as their official language and most work in these countries is conducted in the same language. I completely agree with the statement that studying the english language in an English-speaking country is the best but there are other ways in which one can learn the language.

Learning the English language in an English speaking country has its fair share of advantages. Firstly, the person is exposed to the language a lot more rather than just for a short period of time. While learning a language, the more exposure a person has, the better his command over the same. For instance, a person learning English in the United Kingdom will remain in touch with the language much more than a person who is learning the same language in a country like India. Thus, peer to peer learning will be significantly higher in the UK. Additionally, the availability of the teachers in an English speaking nation will be mammoth as compared to the availability of teachers in a non-English speaking territory. For example, number of professors of English in the French dominated reigon of Canada will be minor as compared to the number in the English speaking reigons of the country. Therefore, learning the English language in a reigon which has its primary mode of communication in the same language is the best method to learn it.

Although, it is best if one learns English in a reigon which communicates primarily in the same language, it is not the only way in which one can learn it. Take India for example, most of the official work is conducted in English despite the official language of the country being Hindi. Children in India are taught English along with their native languages from a very young age in schools. Most of the courses in India are taught in English and a large portion of the populace have a good control over the language. Therefore, it is evident from the above examples that one does not need to be present in an English speaking country just for the sake of learning the language.

In conclusion, although learning the English language in an English-speaking country is highly advantageous over other methods of learning the language, it is not the only way to learn the language. Learning a language is a process and it can be followed from anywhere in the world, not just from a reigon which has dominant users of the language.
