Good essay. From my point of view, the comparability could have been encouraged more tightly. You should talk the lines at the same time where it is possible.

 why the trends?

To show true understanding of what the graph shows, we might also want to add why we think that more people listen to radio in the morning than watch TV (maybe they are getting ready for school/work and can't actually watch anything, so they only listen) and more people watch TV in the evening when they have time to sit down and relax to watch it.

Also, the increase in radio listening increases briefly in the afternoon...about the time many people are driving home from work/school, so they listen to radio in their cars.

No shouldn't shouldn't comment on the reasons why you think something is happening in academic task 1, whether it is a graph, diagram, process or map.

It is supposed to be a factual description and you are told to summarise the data and compare it, not to give your opinion on it.

Doing so will decrease your score.

This line graph shows information about the percentage of uk population who are watching radio and television. Over a three months time between October to December 1992.

Overall, what stands out from the graph that there was significant downward trend in the percentage of people show time in the radio, while the figures for the television audiences people went up. The radio sector took up almost at the beginning of the period, but in the midnight television audience had easily the highest rate in the chart.

In details as regards the radio sector, the percentage started at 37% in the noon and there was steady fall at midnight 1:00 to 6:00. The percentage of people who listen the radio is the highest in the morning. Having fallen down sharply at 9pm in the following period time, the percentage then leveled up in noon period. The increase in afternoon radio listeners about this time people are driving home from work/school, traffic jam, so they listen to radio in their cars.

If we look at the percentage of television more folk in UK prefer watching television than listening to radio between 1 pm to 6am.After 8:00pm the highest percentage of UK people watching television which is about 45%. The percentage of people who prefer TV is the lowest in the morning. Beacuse in morning they are getting ready for school/work and can’t actually watch anything, so they only listen radio and when they come back home in the evening, they watch tv time to sit down and relax to watch it with family.

At the end people are love watching television but at midnight around 2pm radio and TV are similar percentage about 3% of user watching and listening their favorites show.
