The graph demonstrates the amount of goods transported in four kinds of ways in the UK from 1974 to 2002. A brief survey of the graph reveals that these four methods of transportation varied greatly in popularity during the period.
Road transportation was the most popular means of transport throughout the years. In 1974, 70 million tonnes of goods were carried by car, and despite some fluctuations, the number grew up to almost 100 in 2002, remaining the highest among the four types of transportation.
By contrast, waterway and railway were far less commonly used than road. In the beginning of the period, both started at about 40 million tonnes. However, waterway use increased gradually, reaching almost 60 million tonnes from 1982 to 1998, before rising significantly up to 70 in 2002. In comparison, the popularity of transporting goods by train slowly dropped down to 30 million tonnes, before eventually recovering and growing back to 40 in 2002.
Pipeline was the least common method for goods transportation. Less than 10 million tonnes of goods traveled by pipe in 1974. Even though it was not used as much as the other transport, the number grew above 20 in 2002, four times as high as the original status.

Thank you so much!
Do you think my poor writing can reach Band 7?

The three bar charts compare the revenues generated through three different export categories in the year 2000,the current year and its predictive values in 2025.
Overall,it is immediately apparent that the international tourism and dairy products have been remain much more popular than meat products in the export industry of Southland . Moreover, the trend is predicted to remain the same in the future.
In the year 2000, international tourism made largest export that is 8 £billion.Whereas,the next two categories are of dairy products and meat products in the same year accounting for 7 £billion and 6£billion respectively .In the current year ,figures for dairy products shoot up astonishingly by 3£billion and also overtook the international tourism figures by difference of more than a billion pound.

.Thus, making it the highest sold product that is 10£billion of that year and values equals the international tourism expected in 2025.
International tourism steadily increase by the rise 1£billion in 2015 and 2025 .While,in contrast to international tourism ,meat products gradually fall over the 25 year period,with the decreasing rate of 0.5£billions .Its lowest export is likely to be 4£billions in 2025 .
In 2025,experts predicted almost the same pattern with some variations.It is estimated that foreign tourism would be the most popular,hitting to 10£billion.Whereas, dairy products will fall slightly to 9.5£billion.
To conclude,the lowest export is of meat products and largest sales is of imternational tourism(in 2025)and dairy products (in 2015)
