The given bar chart provides the data of different entertainment activities, which are preferred by New Zealand boys and girls. The statistics were recorded in 2007.
It is noticeable that the boys in this country enjoyed outdoor activities while their counterparts were interested in staying indoors. Another primary point was the small disparity of both genders’ proportion when doing online activities.
The rate of outside leisure activities like going to the park or playing sports was much higher than others. There was a quarter of New Zealand boys going to the park as their preference, whereas this recreation as well as sports attracted only over one in ten girls here. Similarly, the boys also loved playing sports, which nearly 30 percent of them enjoyed in total.
Even though the girls were not keen on active entertainment, they preferred idle activities, especially doing art and craft as well as reading books. Whilst 25 percent of girls were fond of art and craft, the boys’ proportion accounted for only one-third of that. Simultaneously, the number of girls reading books made up almost a fifth of the total, which was higher than boys twice. It can be seen clearly that both genders enjoyed online recreation activities since the similar percentage of them playing computer games (15 percent). Although the proportion of girls playing DVDs was higher than boys (around 18 percent), they were approximately the same.
