Task one:线图 line graph
The line graph details the average house prices in three countries, A, B, and C, spanning from 1997 to 2014.
Throughout the period shown, average housing prices in all three countries generally experienced an upward trend. Notably, for the majority of the time frame, country A consistently maintained higher average house prices compared to countries B and C.

Subsequently, there was a minor decline of $80,000 in this countrybetween 2003 and 2006, followed by a gradual recovery leading up to a peak of $625,000 in 2014.
(描述country A的整体趋势) In 1997, the average house price in countries B and C was approximately $125,000. By 2005, country B had experienced a substantial increase(显著上升) to around $375,000, while country C saw a more modest rise to approximately $250,000 by 2007. Prices in country B showed a noticeable dip from 2005 to 2008, followed by a significant rebound until 2012, when they dropped to about $500,000 by the end of the period.

First, the quality of grammar and sentence structure has significantly declined due to widespread use of mobile chat applications for communication. Many teenagers avoid using proper helping verbs (合适的助动词)and tend to overuse abbreviations (过度使用缩写) in these smartphone apps.
For instance, adolescents using social media platforms like Instagram or Twitteroften use hashtags and incomplete words. If smartphones had not become the predominant method of communication, more young people might still be reading books, thereby developing stronger reading and writing skills.

Additionally, internet articles tend to be concise, limiting the time teenagers spend reading and writing. For example, many children struggle to sustain pen-and-paper writing. If laptops were not the primary medium for writing, it could encourage young people to develop their writing skills further, potentially nurturing future authors.
