Band 6+: The table below shows how much time males and females (over 16 years old) spent on non-work activities in one European country during 2005. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and making comparisons where relevant.

The table above shows times that adults spent in different activities on their free time.

Overall, people on both genders spent their free time on sleeping, and a big part on their other responsibilities.

Nearly 9 hours was the time that adults spent on sleep, followed by household and childcare activity for females and by video-visual entertainment activity for males, which recorded 3 hours 32m and 2 hours 50m respectively, while females spent 25m on video-visual entertainment less than males, on contrast males spent only 1 hour 56m on housework and childcare.

The second activity that took more than one hour for both genders was socialising, which recorded 1 hour 22 minutes for men and 1 hour 32 minutes for women.

All the rest of the daily activities took less than one hour, although personal care and doing hoppies were long time than reading and volunteering activities, which accounted periods between 30 mines and 1 one hour, while the other two recorded less than 30 mines.
