Dear friends, it seems we cannot incert any image here. But I do need help with my Task 1 writing, please give me some advice on the following report. I am sorry to make you through this kind of academic writing without the illustration chart :( But I do appreciate your time and patience a lot. Thank you.
The graph below shows in percentage terms the changing patterns of domestic access to modern technology in homes in the UK.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at leat 150 words.
The line graph analyses changes in proportion of four approaches to modern technology in British households from 1996 to 2003: CD player, mobile phone, home computer and Internet access.
Obviously, there was an upward trend in all four items involved, though the trend in mobile phone was rather erratic. To be specific, during this period, CD player had remained the most popular technological device in the UK among these four, with the largest proportiong rising steadily from 60% to about 83%. Likewise, a slight but solid increase in the percentage of home computer maintained from 30% in 1996/97 to approximately 55%.
A noticeable change could be seen in mobile phone ownership. In 1996/97, this new communication tool accounted for only less than one fifth percentage, which made it the least popular device at that time. However, there was staggering rise in its penetration over the following years, and the ownership finally ended up at 70% in 2002/03, overtaking home computer as the second most popular device.
Data of the Internet access have only been available since 1998, when it occupied a slice of 10% of the dommestic access to modern technology in British households. During the following half decade, the proliferation kept expanding and the figure almost quadrupled to nearly 50%.
Undoubtedly, according to the chart, modern technology is playing an increasingly important role in British daily life. (228 words)
P.S. 1. Can I regard the Internet access as a "device"?
2. Do I have to capitalize the first letter whenever using the word "Internet"?
Thank you very much.
