Analysis of Data
-
Synthesis of Data
-
|
The most popular means of transport to the workplace were found to
be different for three different years; the bicycle in 1950 (40% of travellers), the bus in 1975 (about 35%), and the car in 2000 (40%).
Going to work on foot
was 30% in 1950
plummeting to a 10% in 1975 and dipping further to a mere 3% in 2000.
While
walking was getting less and less popular as an option, the use of cars however, showed a
tremendous increase as the years progressed.

On the other hand/However, the use of cars showed a tremendous
increase as the years progressed.
Between 1950 and 1975 there
was an increase of 20%
and by 2000 the
total figure soared
to 40%.

(The use
of cars showed an increase of 20% between 1950 and 1975 and the total figure soared to 40% by 2000)
Test yourself: Identify the KF, Trend and Data:
There was also a dramatic

Commuting by train rose by
approximately 12% between 1875 and 2000.
