Investigating the Effects of Exercise on Respiration
When you exercise, you burn up oxygen, increasing the need for it. Due to this, respiration rate increases, to obtain this oxygen. This shows a direct correlation between the intensity of exercise, and the respiration rate. As you exercise more your respiration rate will increase, and vice versa.

Right. Just a little wording issue: you don't burn up oxygen, but you consume oxygen to make ATP, which is needed by your exercising muscles.

Sounds all right except the last three words. Leave them off. Increased respiration rate does not cause increased exercise.

Yes, that is true, although technically, one is not burning oxygen, but burning sugar with oxygen as oxidizer.
