Sample 1:
The table compares the average annual distances, measured in miles, that adults traveled using various modes of transport in 1997 and 2007.
Overall, car travel saw a dramatic increase, while walking, bicycle, motorcycle, and bus travel generally declined over the period. Among these means of transport, the average annual distance traveled by car led in both years.
In 1997, adults traveled an average of 3,500 miles by car, which more than doubled to 7,100 miles by 2007, making car travel the most preferred mode of transportation in both years. Another striking increase occurred in taxi usage, with the distance covered rising fourfold, from 200 miles in 1997 to 800 miles in 2007. Train travel saw a modest increase, from 900 miles to 1,000 miles, indicating a slight rise in usage.
Walking and cycling, however, became less popular over time, with walking decreasing from 400 miles in 1997 to 300 miles in 2007, and cycling declining slightly from 100 to 80 miles. Similarly, bus travel saw a significant drop from 800 miles to 500 miles over the decade, indicating a reduced reliance on public transport. Motorcycle travel remained relatively stable, dropping just 10 miles, from 100 miles in 1997 to 90 miles in 2007.
Sample 2:
The table illustrates the average number of miles adults travelled per year in 1977 and 2007, in terms of seven different modes of transport.
Overall, there were increases in the use of cars, trains and taxis by adults in both years, whereas the opposite was true in the cases of the other forms of transport listed. Additionally, while cars remained by far the most popular type of travel, bicycles and motorcycles were the least common throughout.
In 1977, adults predominantly traveled by car, with an average distance of 3500 miles. This was significantly more than trains and buses, recording 900 and 800 miles respectively. At the same time, adults walked an average of 400 miles, twice the distance covered by taxis, while bicycles and motorbikes were used in equal measure, at an average of 100 miles for the year.
By 2007, the average distance covered by car had more than doubled, reaching 7100 miles and remaining the highest figure. Taxis and trains followed similar increasing trends, with the use of the former rising fourfold, whereas the latter grew by only 100 miles. In contrast, travel by bus and foot experienced declines of 300 and 100 miles, in that order, while minimal changes were observed in the distances traveled by bicycles and motorbikes, both just under 100 miles.
Sample 3:
The table illustrates the average distance that adults commuted by seven different means of transport annually within 30 years, from 1977 to 2007. Overall, cars travelled the farthest distance, and this figure continued to dominate after 30 years. Meanwhile, the other modes of transportation did not commute over 1000 miles yearly in both studied years.
A closer look at the table reveals that commuters by car drove around 3,500 miles on average, marking it as the largest figure in terms of travelled distance in a year. This number was higher than the sum of the other six vehicles. Sharing the second place was bus and train goers, who took turns to travel 800 and 900 miles in 1977. Noteworthily, none of the other commuting methods was able to exceed 500 miles when it came to the average total mileage per year.
Regarding the changes in travel patterns in 2007, car travellers continued to intensify their driven miles annually, which doubled to 7,100 miles. Taxis have overtaken buses since they witnessed a fourfold increase to 800 miles a year and shared the second place with trains. Meanwhile, those who chose to travel by two-wheeled vehicles and buses, or on foot observed a decline in their average travel distance, with the smallest belonging to cyclists and motorcyclists.
Sample 4:
The table presents a comparative analysis of the average annual distances traveled by adults across various modes of transportation in the years 1977 and 2007.
Overall, there was a significant disparity in the distances covered by different modes of transport over the two decades, with notable increases in the utilization of cars, trains, and taxis, while other forms of travel experienced a decline.
In terms of walking and cycling, both activities witnessed a reduction in average distance traveled. Specifically, walking decreased from 400 miles in 1977 to 300 miles in 2007, marking a decline of 100 miles. Similarly, bicycle travel saw a drop from 100 miles to 80 miles during the same period, reflecting a decrease of 20 miles. Conversely, motorcycling exhibited a marginal decrease, with average distances traveled falling from 100 miles to 90 miles.
In stark contrast, car travel surged dramatically, with adults covering an average of 3,500 miles in 1977, which more than doubled to 7,100 miles by 2007, indicating an increase of 3,600 miles. Taxi usage also showed remarkable growth, rising from 200 miles in 1977 to 800 miles in 2007, a notable increment of 600 miles. The use of buses saw a decline from 800 miles to 500 miles, while train travel experienced a slight increase, from 900 miles to 1,000 miles, signifying a change of 100 miles.
Sample 5:
The table illustrates the mean travel distance per annum by adults, categorized by transport methods, in 1977 and 2007. Overall, only cars, trains and taxis witnessed an increase between the two years. Additionally, the average distance traveled by cars was the highest for both years.
Regarding the increasing categories, surveyed individuals traveled 3500 miles by automobiles in 1977, which then more than doubled to 7100 miles by 2007. Moreover, trains accounted for a distance of around 1000 miles for both years, while the figure for taxis quadrupled from 200 miles to 800 miles for the selected period.
Concerning the remaining categories, adults reduced their walking distance from 400 miles in 1977 to 300 miles in 2007. Cyclists and motorcyclists shared the lowest results of 100 miles in 1977; subsequently, their respective figures declined to 80 miles and 90 miles in the following forty years. Finally, buses contributed to 800 miles of adults' travel distance in 1977, followed by a plunge to 500 miles by 2007.
Sample 6:
The given table compares different means of transportation in terms of the annual distance traveled by adults in two separate years, 1977 and 2007. Units are measured in miles.
Overall, cars were by far the most popular means of transport during the entire 40-year period, witnessing the most dramatic rise. In contrast, bicycles and motorcycles were the least common modes of transportation. Regarding changes in commuting patterns, there was an upward trend in the use of cars, trains, and taxis, while the remaining methods of transport recorded a decline.
In 1977, cars occupied the position as the most prevalent vehicle, with 3,500 miles traveled, nearly quadruple the distance of the second and third most popular methods, buses and trains, which ranged from 800 to 900 miles. Meanwhile, the distance traveled on foot was 400 miles on average, twice as high as that of taxis. Bicycles were as common as motorbikes, with the average distance for each vehicle standing at 100 miles.
By 2007, the distance traveled by car had increased twofold to 7,100 miles, solidifying its position as the most preferred mode of transportation. Similar changes were seen in the figures for trains and taxis, with the former witnessing a slight growth to 1,000 miles and the latter recording a fourfold rise to 800 miles. In contrast, the other transport methods underwent a descending trend, with the most dramatic drop recorded in buses, falling by 300 miles to reach 500 miles in 2007. The distances traveled by walking, motorbikes, and bicycles dropped to 300, 90, and 80 miles, respectively.

Sample 1:
The line graph gives data about the number of users of five different communication services worldwide from 1998 to 2008.
Overall, all services experienced some growth over the 10-year period, with cell phone and Internet services experiencing the most growth and becoming the most popular forms of communication.
In 1998, the figures for cell phone and Internet users started at around 5% of the population. They both increased over the remaining years, with cell phone service gaining the highest position in 2008, with more than 60% percent of the population using this type of service. This number was approximately three times as much as that of Internet service in the same year.
Meanwhile, throughout the 10-year period, little change was seen in the use of landline services, at about 15% of the population. Also, the use of mobile and fixed broadband services was minimal before 2002. The figures for these two services rose slightly to roughly 5% of the population by the last year.
Sample 2:
The line graph gives data about the number of users of 5 different communication services worldwide from 1998 to 2008.
Overall, cell phone and Internet services became more and more popular, and others similarly experienced minimal growth over the years.
In 1998, the figures for cell phone and Internet users started at around 5 per 100 inhabitants. They both increased over the remaining years, with cell phone service gaining the higher position in 2008, at more than 60 users per 100 in habitants. This number was approximately three times as much as that of Internet service in the same year.
Meanwhile, throughout this 10-year period, little change was seen in the use of the landline service, with about 15 users per 100 inhabitants. Also, mobile and fixed broadband had yet to be introduced by 2002. The figures for these two services rose slightly to roughly 5 users per 100 inhabitants in the last year.
Sample 3:
The line graph illustrates the number of people in the world who used five categories of communication services at two-year intervals from 1998 to 2008.
Overall, although all kinds of communication services tended to grow during the entire time period, only the increase in popularity in cellular phone service was significantly higher than the rise in that of other means of communication.
In 1998, the figure for cellular phone service was round about 500 people, as same as Internet service’s. From 1998, the number of individuals using cellular phone services increased dramatically to exactly 6000 people and became the most common means of communication in the year 2008. Additionally, the figure for Internet service was about five times higher than during the period of 10 years.
With 1500 people used, the figure for landline service was the highest number in 1998. However, that figure had a minor increase to 2000 people in 2006 before it dropped slightly to approximately 1800 people in 2008. The figure for mobile broadband and fixed broadband remained nearly 0 throughout the first six-year period. They were also the least popular kinds of communication services despite rising up to 500 people in 2008.

Sample 1:
The chart illustrates a comparison of the three kinds of foreign tourist visits to a certain European nation during a twenty-year period, beginning in 1987 and ending in 2007.
Overall, the majority of survey years showed that most foreign visitors flocked to coastal locations, while mountainous places received the fewest. Furthermore, the number of visitors visiting all three locations rose throughout this time frame.
Over 40,000 tourists from outside of this European nation visited its shore in 1987. Its number plummeted to roughly 35,000 in 1992 but has steadily increased since then, peaking at over 75,000 in 2007. Meanwhile, the annual number of international visitors to the mountains ranged from 20,000 to 30,000 in the first half of the decade and then jumped to 35,000 in 2007.
For the first fifteen years, the number of international visitors to this country's lakes steadily increased, reaching a high of 75,000 in 2002. In the following years, however, this number dropped dramatically, reaching 50,000 in 2007.
Sample 2:
The chart presents a comparative analysis of three categories of foreign tourist visits to a specific European nation from 1987 to 2007.
In general, there was a consistent increase in the number of tourists across all three locations throughout the specified period. Coastal areas witnessed the highest influx of foreign tourists in almost all the periods.
The year 1987 marked the arrival of over 40,000 foreign tourists to the nation’s coastal regions. However, this figure experienced a decline, dropping to approximately 35,000 visitors by 1992. The numbers then surged significantly, peaking at over 75,000 visitors by 2007. Conversely, visits to mountainous locations started at the second highest level of 20,000, progressing to over 30,000 in 1997. Thereafter, this figure stayed unaltered towards 2002 before a modest increment to about 38,000 in 2007.
The volume of international tourists visiting the country’s lakes saw consistent growth over the initial fifteen years, reaching a pinnacle of 75,000 visitors in 2002. Subsequently, there was a substantial decline in visitation, plummeting to 50,000 by the year 2007.
Sample 3:
The graph illustrates the number of tourists to three distinct regions in a European country, spanning from 1987 to 2007. Overall, the places have experienced an increased tourist attraction from the past two decades.
Initially, the coast, with around 40,000 visitors, was known to be the most popular region among the three. On the contrary, the lakes were the least liked, only comprising around 10,000 visitors. It is also notable that both the coast and the lakes had the same number of maximum visitors in this period, which was around 75,000.
By 2007, the coast had become the most popular tourist destination, having visited by almost 75,000 visitors. Although the lakes too saw a steep rise initially, the visitors started to decline, gaining the maximum attraction of approximately 75,000 tourists in 2002. By 2007, it had declined to 40,000 visitors. The mountains surprisingly did not experience any great inclination. They only had around 15,000 more visitors since 1987.
Sample 4:
The given graph illustrates the number of overseas travellers who visited three different attractions in a European country from 1987 to 2007. It is noticeable that the number of tourists visiting all the areas witnessed an upward trend over the given period.
In 1987, the coast attracted the most overseas visitors, with 40 thousand while the converse held true for the lakes, with only 10 thousand. Over the next two decades, the number of overseas tourists opting for the lakes rose gradually to approximately 35 thousand. Similarly, there was a dramatic jump in the number of visitors to the lakes to about 75 thousand, followed by a drop to 50 thousand in 2007.
At the beginning of the period, 20 thousand tourists from other countries visited the mountains. The mentioned attractions welcomed 30 thousand visitors in 1997 and the figure remained relatively stable until 2002. At the end of the period, the number of tourists to the mountains reached the highest point of 35 thousand.
Sample 5:
The given line graph depicts information about how many foreigners visited three separate regions in a European nation, during the span of a 20-year period from 1987 to 2007.
Overall, the most notable detail is that those three regions all attracted an increasing number of foreigners. In addition, the lakes’ tourist figures witnessed the most dramatic change among those given.
In more detail, at approximately 10,000 visitors in 1987, the quantity of foreign travelers who were attracted to the lakes gradually rose to around 50,000 in 2000, before peaking at approximately 75,000 tourists in 2002, This figure then dropped back down to approximately 50,000 people in 2007.
With regards to tourist numbers in coastal and mountainous areas, the overall figures increased, however mountainous areas remained the least attractive travel option out of the three. In 1987, the number of those who chose the coast as a travel destination stood at 40,000, compared to only 20,000 travelers who went to the mountains. In the next 14 years, the coast witnessed a slight decrease in the quantity of visitors by a few thousand, which was followed by a significant climb to around 60,000 people, whereas the number of those visiting mountainous areas went up remarkably to 30,000 in 2001.
In the final 6 years, while the quantity of overseas tourists going to the coast rose moderately to above 70,000, there was a slight climb in those who paid a visit to the mountains to about 35,000.
Sample 6:
The line chart details statistics about foreign travellers to three types of tourist destinations in an unspecified nation in Europe from 1987 to 2007. Overall, all categories witnessed an upswing with the most significant growth being seen in the number of tourists to the lakeside areas.
The coastal region welcomed the highest level of alien sightseers in the first year, at 40,000. Despite dipping to about 35,000 five years later, it recovered rapidly and consistently to approximately 76,000 in the final year.
Regarding the visitors to the mountainous attractions, this figure rose moderately from 20,000 in 1987 to 30,000 in 1997. Subsequently, it documented a period of stability until 2002, followed by a rise of nearly 7,000 by the end.
Finally, starting at the lowest result of 10,000 in the beginning, the number of overseas tourists to the lakes surged to 40,000 by 1997. In the next five years, it increased more sharply to a peak of just over 75,000 which surpassed the coast, before dropping quickly back to second position with 50,000 by 2007.
Sample 7:
The given outline is the number of people who have gone to the distinctive three places (the coast, the mountains, and the lakes) in the European nation from 1987 to 2000. Looking at the by-and-large structure it is quickly clear that the number of worldwide guests to the coast has diminished over the past five years. In spite of the first moo numbers, there has been a sharp increment in the number of guests to the lake by the conclusion, whereas those going to the mountains have expanded slowly.
After dissecting the chart, it can be seen that in 1987, 40% of worldwide people went by the coast which declined to around 35% in 1992. After that, the esteem expanded to roughly 75% in 2007. While, in 1987, 20% of universal people went to see the mountains which expanded consistently to around almost 33% in 2007.
In 1987, the rate of outside guests was 10%, expanding to 40% by 1997. This figure rose to 72% in 2002, sometime recently dropping to 50% in 2007. The coast had the most elevated guest numbers among the three zones. In the interim, both the coast and the mountains experienced development in their guest tallies.
Sample 8:
The line chart outlines the number of universal sightseers gone by the diverse three places in a European nation from 1887 to 2007. The unit is measured in thousands. By and large, it can be apparent that an expansive lion's share of guests went to Europe in 2002 and 2007, and a few thousand individuals in 1987. A look at the chart reveals that more at that point 70 thousand people went by the lakes in 2002, and the same number of individuals went to the mountains in 2007. Within the same year, a decrease was observed in the number of guests who went to lakes as it was 50 thousand. In 1987, as it was, 40 thousand individuals visited the coastal regions, and after that sudden expanded drift watched from 1992 to 2007.
For the mountain ranges, 20 thousand individuals went in 1987, and exceptionally few increases were observed over a period of time. Around 35 thousand sightseers went by the mountains in 2007.
