Band 6+: You will be shown a visual representation of information; a graph, table, chart or diagram, and you are asked to summarize, describe or explain the information you see. Make sure you organize your response into three main parts, the introduction, an overview and the main features supported by figures from the diagram.

The pie charts compare the results of the questionnaire of children’s activities. The first graph shows the cultural and leisure activities that boys take part in, whereas the second chart illustrate the activities in which the girls attend.

Overall, leisure activities of boys dedicated a significant percentage of their times to computer games, although girls did so considerable fewer than boys. Girls far more spent their time to reading, while boys represent a notable higher share in Basketball. Listening to music accounted for a smaller but similar proportion for both genders.

Examining the data for the boys, computer games stood out as the category that consumed the majority of their time, at 34% double the proportion recorded in soccer. Basketball ranks the second highest category with 26%, followed distantly by aggregate proportions of listening to music, and skateboarding with 10% and 11% respectively. The lowest share of boy’s results in the questionnaire was devoted to reading, a negligible 2%.

In contrast, female students displayed a markedly different pattern of preferences. The dancing category dominated in their survey results, accounting for a substantial 27%, almost double the proportions allocated to Netball (15%). Reading category constituted the second most significant category at 21%, a figure that was almost twice as high as that for both gymnastics and listening to music, each of which made up around 10% with mere disparity.
