  • WRITING TASK 1 – Model Answer
    The bar charts show data about computer ownership, with a further classification by
    level of education, from 2002 to 2010.
    A steady but significant rise can be seen in the percentage of the population that owned
    a computer over the period. Just over half the population owned computers in 2002,
    whereas by 2010 three out of four people had a home computer.
    An analysis of the data by level of education shows that higher levels of education
    correspond to higher levels of computer ownership in both of those years. In 2002, only
    around 15% of those who did not finish high school had a computer but this figure had
    trebled by 2010. There were also considerable increases, of approximately 30
    percentage points, for those with a high school diploma or an unfinished college
    education (reaching 65% and 85% respectively in 2010). However, graduates and
    postgraduates proved to have the greatest level of ownership in 2010, at 90% and 95%
    respectively, 20 percentage points higher than in 2002.
    The last decade has seen a substantial growth in computer ownership in general, and
    across all educational levels
