Band 7+: The line graph below shows the percentage of people who used the internet in three countries between 2000 and 2020. • Country A: 10% (2000), 30% (2005), 55% (2010), 75% (2015), 90% (2020) • Country B: 5% (2000), 20% (2005), 45% (2010), 60% (2015), 70% (2020) • Country C: 15% (2000), 35% (2005), 50% (2010), 55% (2015), 60% (2020)

The line graph illustrates changes in the proportion of the population that used the Internet in a particular country over a 20-year period from 2000 to 2020.

Overall, it is clear that Internet usage showed a strong upward trend throughout the period. Although the growth was gradual in the early years, it accelerated significantly after 2010 before reaching a peak towards the end of the timeframe.

In 2000, only around 10% of the population had access to the Internet. This figure rose steadily over the next decade, reaching approximately 35% in 2010. During this period, the increase was relatively moderate and consistent.

However, from 2010 onwards, Internet usage experienced a sharp rise. The percentage climbed rapidly to about 65% in 2015 and continued to grow, albeit at a slightly slower pace. By 2020, the figure peaked at nearly 80%, indicating widespread Internet adoption across the country.
