The document summarizes transportation trends over four decades in a European city based on data from a bar graph. In 1960, 35% of people walked and 25% bicycled, compared to 7% using private cars and 18% taking buses. By 1980, car and bus use increased over three times while walking decreased by half. In 2000, private car use was 37% and bus use was 16%, while only 10% walked and 6% bicycled. Over the 40 years, walking and bicycling decreased significantly as car and bus use became more prevalent forms of transportation.

Overall, with the increased used of cars, people’s habit of using bikes and walking on foots had decreased significantly over the time. To begin with, in the year 1960, lots of people used to move either on foot or using a bike which were 35% and about 25% consecutively compared to only about 7% private cars and 18% buses. After 20 years in 1980, the number of car and bus users grew up more than 3 times over 20 years and in the same year people travelling in foot fell down to less than half as it was in 1960 amounting only 18% of the total travelers. Finally in 2000, only 10% of walk-goers walked, only about 6% people rode a bicycle compared to 16% bus users and about 37% private car users. In 1960, majority of the people travelled on foot or using a bike but it became completely different after 40 years when most of the people used cars or buses. To begin with, allowing students to self-study by researching in formation about history on the Internet. For instance, when students have to do research or an assignment about historical event, they could find some famous and reliable websites introduced by their teachers, therefore, they will be curious about the problem because they have just found it and are interested in exploring it. Thanks to this, these sites would become more popular among the young these days, which later has a greater influence on the next generations. Another method for this problem is that schools should organize historical field trips such as museums or ancient landmarks that spark an interest in learning. To illustrate, Students then should be encouraged to find interesting information themselves as to some past figures and places by watching some documentary films on YouTube. Especially, this type of outdoor activities certainly brings about positive impressions than just boring theories in class.
