The line graph illustrates the number of participants in five different activities at a social centre in Melbourne between 2000 and 2020.
Overall, the film club consistently attracted the highest number of participants, while table tennis experienced the steepest decline. In contrast, martial arts and musical performances both showed strong growth, with the latter overtaking several other activities by the end of the period.
In 2000, around 65 people took part in the film club, a figure which remained relatively stable, reaching just under 70 in 2020. By comparison, table tennis began at 40 participants but fell steadily to zero in the same period. Amateur dramatics fluctuated between 20 and 30 participants throughout, showing no clear long-term trend.
Martial arts, which started with about 25 people in 2000, grew gradually to approximately 40 in 2020. The most remarkable increase, however, was in musical performances. Beginning with no participants in 2000, this activity expanded sharply after 2010 and finished at 50 participants by 2020, making it the second most popular activity overall.
In summary, the film club maintained its dominance, but musical performances rose dramatically, while table tennis lost all its participants over the twenty-year period.
