SAMPLE ANSWER
The given pie charts illustrate the traffic volume of automobiles, buses, trains and high-speed transport every thirty years from 1990 to 2050, which has been measured in passenger- kilometer-miles.
Overall, the percentage of high-speed transport is expected to increase sharply until 2050 while that of other vehicles will have a downward trend. Additionally, it is predicted that the volume of traffic will almost double every 30 years and can reach up to 103 trillion pkm in 2050.
The proportion of trains and high-speed transport started at 9% in 1990, but after that, the trends of these kinds of vehicles seem to be opposite. The Traffic volume for railways is anticipated to decrease to 6% in 2020 and just 4% in 2050. By contrast, it is expected to see a dramatic rise in traffic volume of high-speed transport, climbing to 25% in 2020 and then reaching to just over 40% in 2050.
Regarding automobiles, its proportion was 53% in 1990. According to the pie chart, the figure will decline by 10% and 8% in 2020 and 2050 respectively. Similarly, the traffic volume for buses stood at 29% in 1990 and is expected to drop gradually to 20% in 2050.
