Computer ownership increases significantly from the year 2002 until 2010. The graph shows in the beginning, roughly sixty - percent of the population owns a computer. By the year 2010 this number has almost double in size with an eighty-percent of the population then owns a computer. The graph also shows that there is a constant positive trend of computer ownership during those years leaving only twenty- percent of the population which does not yet own a computer by the end of 2010.

The education level of the population also affects the number of computer ownership. The later the year, the more people goes to school, the more graduates are emerged, hence the higher they are at their level of education. From the graph, a population with a higher level of education tends to own more computers than the slightly less educated population. However, the increase of computer ownership over the years is particularly evident accross all range of education regardless the education level.

here's an IELTS Academic Writing 1 assignment I have written today. I would really appreciate if anyone could comment on this and especially tell me whether it could be given a good mark (6.5 or higher)? Thank you in advance!

(test from the site of British Council)

population between 2002 and 2010, and by level of education for the years 2002 and

comparisons where relevant.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 2 bar graphs illustrate the data about how many people owned a computer in years 2002-2010, as well as illustrating the correlation between owning a computer and having a certain level of education.

According to the data, there had been a steady rise in the amount of computer owners over the period of eight years. It went up from just 55% (that is, roughly a half) of the total population to 75% in 2010, that is, rose by 20%.

As for the educational level of computer owners, here the changes seem to be more dramatic. 5 different levels had been taken into account, from those with no high school diploma to those having a postgraduate qualifications. While in the year 2002 only 15% of the first had a computer, the percentage had tripled by the year 2008, reaching 45%. Those with a postgraduate degree in both 2002 and 2008 accounted for the highest percent of computer ownership, but the difference between the two years is less impressive, as it went from 75% to 95%, thus covering almost all people with such a degree. Computers also gained popularity among the rest of the population, namely those who had completed high school, college and those with a bachelors degree. With each of those levels computer ownership increases in both 2002 and 2010.

To sum up up, there are several trends to be mentioned.
