Essay topic:
The figures below compare the number of Internet users in several European nations as well as the prevalence of online shopping in these countries.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
A glance at the provided figures reveals the trend in the volume of Internet users in five countries, namely Switzerland, Germany, France, Spain and the UK, over a 9-year period along with the online shopping sales in 2004.
Overall, all the nations under study witnessed an increase in the number of Internet users, but at different paces. As can be seen from the table, starting at 16 million in 1995, the figure for the UK then grew slightly to 22 million before rocketting to 41 million in 2004. Additionally, this country also came first and was ahead of the second highest, Germany, by a wide margin. More specifically, in Germany, 5 million people had access to the Internet in 1994 and this number tripled at the end of the period. To turn to Switzerland and France, these countries had practically the same numbers, ranking third and fourth respectively, whereas the lowest figures belonged to Spain, only 2 million in 2004.
When it comes to the popularity of Internet shopping, France dominated as it accounted for the majority of the total sales. Besides, Switzerland and Germany came next. However, the figures for the two remaining countries, the UK and Spain, were absent.
