immigration figures, iELTS task 1 (tables)

The tables compare the predicted and actual immigration figures for the UK for 17 year-period from 1984 to 2000. It is obviously appeared that the prediction made did not meet the actual events.

Looking at the details, it can be seen that the actual figures were either more or less than different from the predicted figures except in 1989 as the actual figure met the prediction at 80 thousand.

Critically, there were 13 certain years of actual events were more than the prediction, of which there were either 15 to 25 more as in 1984, 1985, 1988, 1999 and 2000,  or  2 to 7 more as in 1990, 1991, 1994, 1995, 1998. The predicted immigration figures increased gradually from 38,000 in 1984 to 91,000 in 1991, after that, the figure decreased to 80,000 and 67,000 in 1992 and 1993. However, the predicted immigration figures further increased gradually to 148,000 in 2000.

In contrary, there were 6 certain years where the actual figures were less than the predicted of which they were less by 2 to 6 as in 1986, 1987, 1992, 1993 or 15-16 as in 1996 and 1997. the actual immigration figures had rapid fluctuations  from 58,000 in 1984 to 114,000 in 1995. However, after that the figures increased gradually from 102,000 in 1996 to 163,000 in 2000.

All in all, we can conclude that, the predictions were inaccurate as the actual figure were more about 15-25 or 2-7 and they were less by 2-6. there were difference between the predicted and actual immigration figures throughout the period.
