The bar chart illustrates the percentages of attendance in free-time activities of boys and girls aged 5–14 in Australia.
In general, 5- to 14-year-old boys and girls spend their free time watching TV/videos. Meanwhile, most of the boys’ participation rates are higher than those of girls in the remaining activities, except in art and craft.
The percentage of Australian boys who choose electronic/computer games in their free time accounts for 80%. Bike riding is the third most selected leisure activity, which is 10% less than electronic/computer games but twice as high as skateboarding/roller-blading. The girls’ percentages show the same pattern for those activities.
As we can see, the boys’ participation rate in art and craft is twice as low as that of girls, which is approximately 30% and 60%, respectively. However, watching TV/videos is the most popular free-time activity among Australian boys and girls.
