Paragraphing
The first chart shows the reasons why some people in the UK prefer to
cycle to work. Conversely, the second chart gives reasons for those who
choose to go to work by car. The highest percentage of those who favour
cycling say that this is because riding a bicycle to work is healthier than
driving. 30% of them gave this as a reason. The same amount of people,
30% say that they cycle to work because it causes less pollution. 13% of
people cycle to work because it is cheaper than driving. Surprisingly, a
similar amount of people said that they cycled to work because it is faster
than travelling by car. In contrast to this, the percentage who prefer to
travel by car because it is more comfortable is 40%. The two least
important reasons for going to work by car, with 14% and 11%
respectively, is that people need to carry things to work and that it is safer
than cycling to work. Finally, 16% say they prefer driving because it is
faster than cycling. This contrasts with the cyclists who ride to work
because it is faster than driving. In general, it seems that the majority of
people who cycle to work do this for health and environmental reasons.
By contrast, those who travel by car want to have a more comfortable
journey over longer distances.

Firstly, a correlation between poverty and malnutrition can be

noticed in the graph. In 1970, the percentage of poor people was the
highest and so was the fraction of under nourished citizens. As the
financial condition started to improve from 1980, we can notice the
lowest rate of nutritional scarcity at the end of this decade. In the given
time period, 1983 showed the poorest level of diet-deficiency. To sum
up, higher the poverty, higher the malnutrition.
