The bar chart below illustrates the hours spent by students from three different countries on sleeping, studying, and relaxing during a typical weekday.
Overall, a comparison among these three countries shows that students in Japan spend the most hours on studying.
Firstly, let’s consider the number of hours spent by students on relaxing in all three countries. Students from Japan spend approximately 4 hours relaxing, while students from the UK and Germany spend around 7 hours each. In terms of sleeping, students in Japan also spend less time, averaging about 7 hours. Meanwhile, students in Germany sleep slightly more, at around 8 hours, but still less than students in the UK, who sleep about 8.5 hours.
Lastly, let’s look at the time spent by students on studying. As we can see from the chart, students in Japan spend less time on relaxing and sleeping but devote about half of their weekday, approximately 13 hours, to studying. In contrast, students from Germany study for less time than those in Japan, around 9 hours, but more than the students in the UK, who study approximately 8 hours.
In conclusion, students from Japan allocate about half of their weekday to studying while spending less time on relaxing and sleeping compared to their counterparts in the UK and Germany.
