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.

Writing model for the final two review tasks
The line graph shows Viet Nam’s urban population as a share of its total population in selected years, using World Bank indicator SP.URB.TOTL.IN.ZS as accessed on 3 November 2026. The rounded figures are 24.4% in 2000, 30.3% in 2010, 35.6% in 2020 and 38.5% in 2024. Overall, the share increased throughout the selected period. It rose by 5.9 percentage points from 2000 to 2010 and by 5.3 points over the following decade. From 2020 to 2024, it increased by a further 2.9 points. The total rise shown is 14.1 percentage points, not a 14.1% relative increase. The graph describes the national urban share; it does not show Hà Nội alone or explain how much change came from migration, natural increase or reclassification. Later database revisions may differ from older textbook figures.
