Question

The graph below shows the average number of UK commuters traveling each day by car, bus or train between 1970 and 2030.Write a report for a university, lecturer describing the information shown below.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.          The line graph reveals the number of workers traveling to work by various transportation such as cars, buses, and trains in the UK from 1970 to 2030.           Overall, the trend of cars and trains is upwards while that of buses is forecasted to decline. Moreover, cars are the most popular form of transportation for British commuters for over 60 years.          To be specific, the number of people using cars gradually increased from 1970 to 1980 and is predicted to account for the highest number of people in 2030, which will be approximately 9 million people each day. From 1970 to 2010, people preferred buses to trains but from then there was a significant change in the number of commuters using these kinds of traveling methods when the number of train users increased and surpassed that of buses. Another striking feature is that 3 million people travel by trains in 2010 and this method of traveling is believed to increase more in the future to 5 million people in 2030, which will be similar to the beginning number of people who use cars in 1970.

The line graph ~~reveals~~ (wrong verb) the numbers of workers traveling to work by ~~various~~ (Various is grammatical but it does not describe the graph at all. There are exactly three, aren't there? There are not any more or less. ) three means of transportation, ~~such as~~ cars, buses, and trains (Such as means an example. It means that the list is incomplete. Are there more kinds of transportation on this graph?) in the UK from 1970 to 2030. (This year is 2021.There are no actual measurements for the years between 2021 and 2030. unless you are a time traveller What does that mean for this graph?)

Sample paragraph.

The line graph compares / plots / shows /gives (any of these verbs are good for a line graph) the numbers of British workers who commute each day to work by each of three means of transportation: car, bus and train. The data is given from 1970 to the present day, with a forecast to 2030. (I start a new sentence because the first would be awkward. )

Overall, the trend for commuters to use of cars and trains is upwards while that of buses is forecasted to decline. (It has been declining since 1980. ) Moreover, cars ~~are~~ have been and are forecast to be the most popular form of transportation ~~for British commuters for over 60 years~~. (That is repetitive. You already wrote that these people are in the UK.)

Sample paragraph:

Overall, the number of commuters is forecast to increase from 11 million in 1970 to 17 million in 2030. Most of that increase is attributed to the use of cars, rising from 5 to 9 million over the period. While commuting by train is also trending upwards, busses are becoming much less popular. In fact, they have been on a steady decline, which is predicted to continue.

~~To be specific,~~ In detail, the number of people using cars gradually increased from 1970 to 1980 (That is not correct. The numbers were virtually flat between 1970 and 1980. You have to pay attention to the information.) and is predicted to account for the highest number of people in 2030, which will be approximately 9 million people each day, or a bit more than half of all commuters.. From 1970 to 2010, people preferred buses to trains but from ~~then~~ that point on, ~~there was a significant change in the number of commuters using these kinds of traveling methods when~~ the number of train passengers ~~users~~ increased and surpassed that of buses. Another striking feature is that 3 million people travel by trains in 2010 and this method of traveling is believed to increase more in the future to 5 million people in 2030, which will be slightly less than ~~similar to~~ the ~~beginning~~ number of people who ~~use cars~~ drove in 1970.
