A model task one answer from Ms. Telshi Ireland

The bar chart gives information about total number of England call minutes by various categories of telephones mentioned in billions between 1995 and 2002.

The most significant feature is that the use of mobile phones and national, international fixed lines rose whereas, local line call rates declined during those eight years.

It can be clearly seen that, in 1995, the total number of call minutes by mobile phone was only two billion, and then, its figure dramatically increased throughout the years and reached its all time high level of about 45 billion in 2002. Meanwhile, fixed line call rate was nearly 38 million minutes in 1995. Then, the figure gradually escalated to approximately 61b.  in 2002.

However, there was 42 billion minutes call by local line in 1992, and it went up to 90 b. in 1999, more than two-fold rise. Subsequent to this, there was a steady decline throughout the years and, finally, it was 72 b. 2000, an increase by 75%.

It is evident that UK people had more interest in cell phones and international and national fixed lines than local line.
