Band 6+: Task 1 You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The graph below gives information about computer possession by households in one European country between 1997 and 2011. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant Write at least 150 words.

The line graph demonstartes the data regarding the ownership of computers by households in one country in Europe from 1997 to 2011.

Overall, throughout the given period the households that do not have computers drastically decreased, contrasting with the fact that by the end of the period every second home had one.

In 1997, just below 70% of households did not posses a computer. This trend was rapidly falling till 2003 and reached approximately 35%, and then continued steady decline till 2012, when the number became slightly less than 20%. On the contrary, the amount of homes that got a computer increased by almost 20% during the given period.

There are also some households that had more than one computer. Till nearly 2005 both 2 computers homes and the ones with 3 or more were marginally growing in parallel, while the general proportion was insignificant. However, since that year more and more households started having 2 computers, and by the end of the given time frame this trend even overtook the absence of computers at home. Homes with 3 or more computers eventually reached 10% threshold.
