model answer:
The graph shows changes in the age profile of Internet users in Taiwan between 1998 and
2000.
The main users of the Internet in Taiwan are young adults between 16 and 30 years old. In
1998, they accounted for more than half of all users. In 1999 the number dropped slightly
to 45%, but even in 2000 they were the biggest group.
The second biggest group of users is aged between 31 and 50. They made up 41% in 1998,
falling slightly to 37% in 2000. When combined with the 16-30 age group, over 94% of
users in 1998 were between 16 and 50.
However this number is dropping steadily as more children and older users log on. In 1999,
the number of children online quadrupled from 2% to 8%, and it continued to increase in
2000. There were similar increases for older users, rising from 4% in 1998 to 10% in 2000.
In summary, while adults between 16 and 50 still represent the great majority of Internet
users in Taiwan, their share is declining as more children and older users join the web.
