The graph shows information about the quantities of good transported in the UK between1974 and 2002 by four different modes of transport
The graph gives information about the amount of goods’ transportation by using four different types of delivery: road, water, rail, and pipeline in the United Kingdom over the 28-year period between 1974 and 2002.
Overall, roads were the most preferred mode of transportation for importing goods, while the pipeline was the least used transportation type.
In 1974, less than 75 million tonnes of products were delivered in the UK via roads and then kept growing steadily. But, in 1982 and 1996, it faced marginal decline in these years; after 1996, it grew dramatically to nearly 100 million tonnes.In the beginning, water was not a very common way to transport commodities, but after four years it increased significantly from 40 to almost 60 and remained stable until 1999. It came across negligible decreasing and then experienced considerable rising in the end.
It is noticeable that railway dramatically decreased from 40 million tonnes to 30 million tonnes between 1978 and 1986 and then grew slightly to 38 million tonnes in 1988. Following this, it came back to its position in 2002. Pipeline transport reached over 20 million in 2002 despite starting with 5 million tonnes.
The essay is logically organized and presents a clear overview. The use of cohesive devices is effective, and there is a good range of linking words. However, there are a few areas where the flow of information could be improved.
Suggestions
- Use a wider range of cohesive devices to improve the flow of information.
- Consider using more varied sentence structures to provide a more detailed and nuanced analysis.
The essay uses a good range of vocabulary and there is some evidence of less common and idiomatic language. However, there are a few instances of awkward or incorrect word choice.
The essay uses a mix of simple and complex sentence forms, and the majority of sentences are error-free. However, there are a few grammatical errors that affect the clarity of the writing.
The essay provides a detailed and accurate description of the information presented in the graph. The writer makes effective use of data to support the analysis. However, the task could be improved by providing a more detailed comparison of the different modes of transport.
Suggestions
- Provide a more detailed comparison of the different modes of transport to give a more comprehensive analysis of the data.
