📄 Bài mẫu band 8–9
| Introduction | Paraphrase: tỉ lệ hộ gia đình Anh sở hữu năm loại công nghệ qua từng năm 1997–2001. |
| Overview | Overall: tỉ lệ sở hữu cả năm loại đều tăng, công nghệ mới (Mobile phone, Internet access) lan nhanh hơn hẳn; Video recorder vẫn phổ biến nhất dù tăng ít nhất. Không số liệu. |
| Body 1 | Video recorder 84% → 88% (mỗi năm khoảng 1 điểm). CD player 63% → 80% (tăng 17 điểm), khoảng cách với Video recorder thu từ 21 xuống 8 điểm. |
| Body 2 | Mobile phone 21% → 44% năm 1999 (lúc này đã vượt Home computer 38%) → 70%, hơn gấp ba, chỉ kém CD player 10 điểm. Home computer 29% → 50%. Internet access 4% → khoảng 19% (1999) → 40%, gấp mười lần. |
The line graph charts the percentage of British homes that owned five kinds of technology in each year from 1997 to 2001.
Overall, ownership of every item increased, but the newer technologies, particularly mobile phones and internet access, spread far more rapidly than the established ones. Video recorders remained the most widely owned device throughout, despite showing the least growth.
The two older products were already common in 1997. Video recorders were found in 84% of households and crept up by about a point a year to 88%. CD players started lower, at 63%, but grew faster, reaching 80% in 2001; this 17-point gain cut their deficit to video recorders from 21 points to eight.
Growth among the other three was much brisker. Mobile phones were in only 21% of homes at first, yet, having overtaken home computers by 1999, at 44% against 38%, they surged to 70%, a more than threefold rise that left them just ten points behind CD players. Home computer ownership grew more modestly, from 29% to exactly half of households. Internet access was the least common technology throughout, but it grew fastest in relative terms: only 4% of homes were connected in 1997, compared with about 19% in 1999 and 40% in 2001, ten times the original figure.
