The table below shows the consumer durables (telephone, refrigerator, etc.) owned in Britain from 1972 to 1983. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.

The given table compares the percentage of British households which owned a range of consumer durables between 1972 and 1983.

Overall

, it can be seen that the ratio of British families owning those household durables steadily increased during the 11-

year

span. Other than that the most common electronic item was television,

whereas

the least common was dishwasher.

To begin

with, as the data shown in the table, TVs and vacuum cleaners were highly popular amongst citizens in 1972, with 93% and 87% respectively. There were minor variations in the ownership of TV from 1972 to 1983.

In other words

, it had increased by only 5% during the given period.

In contrast

, the major growth was related to telephone, which was 42% in the initial

year

and

then

climbed noticeably to reach 77% in the

last

year

.

Moreover

, there are some items that appeared in British accommodation during these ages and others that disappeared. It is immediately obvious that 1978 was the

year

of the introduction of dishwashers and only a tiny minority of people owned

this

device.

also

, before 1983, none of them had possession of a video player.

On the contrary

,

this

year

, people stopped using vacuum cleaners and no statistics have been reported.
