The bar chart below gives information about vehicle ownership in China.
Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The provided bar chart reveals data about vehicle ownership by Chinese citizens from 1987 to 1999. The data shows the number of automobiles owned by per thousand people.
In general, the possession of different kinds of motorised transportations increased rapidly during the last nine years of the given period. Vehicle ownership in this period increased steadily and it was far quicker after 1993.
To begin with, in 1987 one thousand Chinese people owned only around 30 vehicles which increased over 50 in just two years. The rate kept on increasing every year and in 1995 this number reached to 200. There was a dramatic increase in terms of ownership of vehicles in China in around 1995 and it reached to over 300 per thousand people in 1997 which means almost every three Chinese citizens owed a car. The percentage of vehicle ownership soared more than double in just 4 years from 1996 to 1999. In the final year, 1999, more than 400 vehicles were owned by per thousand Chinese people and that was an overwhelming figure compared to their vehicle ownership in 1987.
