Sample Answer 44 
The table shows the percentage of people with mobile phones who use                                   
various features on their phone 
 
The table illustrates the various functions available on mobile phones, showing the 
percent of users that take advantage of these capabilities over three different years. 
The most striking point is that with the exception of a slight fall in 2010, all owners 
use their mobile phone to telephone people. The second most common use is for 
text messaging, which steadily increased from just under three quarter of all users in 
2006 to nearly four fifths of users in 2010. 
Using the phone as a camera increased by 5 percent each year, rising to a peak of 
76% in 2010. Playing games on the phone increased dramatically between 2006 and 
2008, but then fell slightly in 2010 to end at 41%. 
The largest increase in the table is between 2008 and 2010 for those browsing the 
internet, but no data is given for 2006. Video and music use also increased, with 
video overtaking music in 2010. 
In total, the functions used on mobiles all increased over the years with the exception 
of games and making calls.
