SAMPLE ANSWER
The chart illustrates the average journey distance of 5 to 15-year-olds in the United States from 1970 until 2020. Overall, the distance travelled by bus and car increased, but the distance travelled by walking and cycling decreased.
In 1970, the average trip by bus was approximately 28 miles, and this grew steadily throughout the period to finish at roughly 38 miles in 2020, meaning it had the highest figure for every year shown. The distance travelled by car increased from about 20 miles in 1970 to around 33 in 2000 but fell steadily for the rest of the period to finish with approximately 27.
Cycling began with the same figure as travelling by bus with about 28 miles on average, but this mode of transport saw a steady drop until 2020 when its final number was roughly 18 miles. The distance travelled by walking decreased from 1970 to 2000, with around 16 and 5 miles respectively; however, it increased for the rest of the period to reach roughly 8 miles in 2020.
