A: I’m afraid the display’s text is too small to read.
B: I’m sorry about that. We can provide a larger-print version.
A: Thank you. The data are useful; I just need to see the labels.
B: I’ll place the readable copy beside the graph.
Present perfect connects past change to now: The area has become busier. Use for/since for continuing periods and this is the first time + present perfect for experience. Double comparatives show progressive change: busier and busier, more and more crowded, less and less quiet. Correlative comparatives show association: The more people travel, the more capacity is needed. Do not confuse percentage points with percentage change when describing urban shares.
Topic preview: For a report on a fictional neighbourhood that is becoming busier, I would begin with a clear question rather than a dramatic photograph. I would compare the same road section and time period, then consider walking safety and access to services. A new housing block may provide homes while also increasing demand for schools or drainage. A national urban-share graph answers a different question from a local access survey, so the two must be labelled separately. I would ask who collected each figure, what geographic area it covers and whether the boundaries changed. The report should include residents’ concerns without pretending that one comment represents everyone. More buildings may mean more homes, yet that does not automatically mean that every resident benefits equally. Our conclusion should explain the evidence and the questions still open.
Follow-up: Can the national graph show that this neighbourhood’s road is safer?
Response: No. A local safety claim needs appropriate local evidence, not a national population share.
