1. (Topic sentence, предложение, вводящее в тему)

2. Цель проекта + перефраз

It goes without saying that moving around is a very important part of people’s lives. Moving around provides people with opportunities to feel freedom, to work, and to communicate. The current project focuses on ways people move around.

The information provided in this bar chart is about different means of transportations that people use. As it is evident from the chart, the majority of people, accounting for more two quarters, use the metro. The next popular ways of moving are trolleybuses and trams. The figures are 75% and 70% respectively. The chart plainly indicates that just a few people ride bicycles, only 10%.

make 1–2 comparisons where relevant;

1. Сравните крайние величины

2. Сравните близкие величины

Comparing the data given in the diagram, it becomes obvious that almost ten times more (сравнительная конструкция) people use the metro than ride bicycles. Almost the same number of people, with a difference of 5%, use trolleybuses and trams.

The chart clearly illustrates that people mostly use mechanical means of transportations (George, I mean that they use something that moves them somewhere without work from their side). One problem with this is a lack of physical exercise (проблема). Although using mechanical transport is fast and comfortable, people do not personally move enough, which can cause some problems with their health. One of the probable solutions to this problem is to ride bicycles more (решение проблемы). Thus, cutting down on moving around by public transport and using more bicycles will give one enough physical activities for his or her muscles, and improve their health. (возможный эффект)

draw a conclusion giving your personal opinion on the importance of riding bicycles.

To sum up, moving somewhere is an integral part of human life . In my personal opinion, riding bicycles can get people where they want to go. Although it might take more time, it is good cardio training. Also, it will protect people from getting the coronavirus infection because it spreads less in open air.
