Plese help me to correct my essay. Many thanks.
Q: The graph below shows the quantities of goods transported in the UK between 1974 and 2002 by four different modes of transport.
The line graph compares the amount of goods transported in four different types of transportation in the UK over a period of 28 years.
It is clear that the road was by far the most popular of four means of transport over the period shown. It was uncommon to deliver goods by pipeline.
In 1974, around 70 million tonnes of goods was transported by road. Water and rail transportation were used at similar level, stood at around 40 million tonnes, comparison with pipeline was just only 3 million tonnes. In 1995, the amount of goods transported by road, water and pipeline all increased, while the figure for rail transportation fell gradually, reaching the bottom at around 24 million tonnes.
From 1995 to 2002 there was a sudden rise in rail transportation with a jump of over 15 million tonnes, compared to pipeline transportation which remained the same. By 2002, the amount of goods transported by road was highest, peaking at almost 100 million tonnes, and the figure for water also rose to about 65 million tonnes.
