The line graph compares the percentage of people in three countries who used the Internet between 1999 and 2009.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The line graph compares the proportion of Internet users in three American countries, namely the USA, Canada, and Mexico, over a period of 10 years.
Overall, it is clear that the share of these countries’ population who used the Internet increased significantly from 1999 to 2009. Of the three countries, Canada had the highest number of internet users over the majority of the period shown.
In 1999, around 20% of the USA residents had access to the Internet, while the figures for Canada and Mexico were lower, at about 10% and 5% respectively. The Canada’s population who were able to use the Internet rose steadily until it surpassed that of the USA in 2002, at nearly 50%. Three years later, the two figures met again at approximately 70% but Canada remained the country with the highest Internet users for the rest of the period.
