Band 7+: You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The three pie charts show the proportion of four kinds of vehicles used in the UK in 1996, 1985 and 2005. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the man features and make comparisons where relevant. You should write at least 150 words.

The pie charts illustrate the change in the percentage of four types of vehicles in the UK in the years, 1965, 1985, and 2005.

Overall, it can be seen that the proportion of the pivate cars was the highest in the given time, with an increase, whereas the least was recreational vehicles.

The percentage of private cars in the UK was two-fifths of the total vehicle population in 1965, which then rose to more than half in 1985, and by 2005, its had occupied three-fifths of the total proportion. The public transport, and lorries and other cars’ proportions were the second and third highest in the UK, which accounted for 25% and 20%, respectively, in 1965. Then, after 20 years, the percentage of public transport dropped, while the other remained the same, with 20% each. In 2005, there was an increase of 2% for public transport, whereas the percentage of lorries and other cars decreased by half (10%).

The recreational vehicles were of 15% in 1965, even though it had a drop to 5% in 1985, it rose to 8% by 2005.
