The graph below shows cinema attendance by age in Great Britain. Write a report for 
a university lecturer describing the information shown.
The given line graph illustrates the percentage of people of different age groups who 
attended cinema from 1984 to 2003. In general, cinema attendance increased significantly 
from 1984 to 2003. However, the number of people watching films varied with age.
From 1984 to 2003, cinema attendance rose considerably across all age groups, but the 
increase was the greatest for the 15-24 age groups, which rose from about 18% in 1984 to 
over 50% in 2003. Though the figures fluctuated between 1992 and 1998, this age group still 
went to cinema more than any other age group. 
There was also a substantial rise in cinema attendance among older people (35 plus). In this 
case the figures increased over this period from about 2% to over 10%. Cinema attendance of 
7-14 and 25-35 year-olds followed a similar pattern from 1984 to about 2002, which was 
characterized by some fluctuations throughout. However, from 2002 the trends differed in 
that 7-14 year olds went to the cinema less frequently while cinema attendance of the 25-44 
year olds was on the increase.
Overall, cinema attendance grew in all age groups in the given period of time.
