  Sample Answer 3

Band 5.5

                                            The chart gives data about the average distance travelled per person per year, by different modes of transport in Britain from 1985 to 2000.

                                            To begin with, the distance covered by walking decreased to 237 miles in a given period. Bicycle riding also dropped in 2000. However, the distance travelled by car per person increased by 1,607 between 1985 and 2000.

                                  Turning to the average distance travelled by bus, the use of local buses was reduced to a great extent. However, the preference for long-distance buses so much increased that the distance travelled by these buses has become two times the initial.

                          We can see that the distance travelled by train and taxi surged with time and became 366 and 42 respectively.

Overall, the use of public transport increased compared to personal vehicles, except for cars.
