Furthermore, this marked decline in TV usage among kids was 55 percent in 2004 and it remained stable until the end of 2006. However, the nadir was followed by sudden climb to 80 percent in 2008. This trend could be the result of a number of factors. The possible reason for high rates of children watching TV in 1998 might have been the availability and affordability of a TV unit. Moreover, just a few years before that, a TV was a very expensive type of entertainment. The decline in TV usage between 1998 and 2006 may be related to the development of computer games, so they became more commonly used among youngsters. Despite this, the increasing figures in 2008 could be attributed to the introduction of the new visual technology well known as digital TV. // Mariana, you manipulate the language well in the essay, however you need to apply modal perfect more often to successfully complete the task.
