#1 The chart and graph below give information about sales and share prices for Coca-Cola.
Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.
The pie chart shows the worldwide distribution of sales of Coca-Cola in the year 2000 and the graph shows the change in share prices between 1996 and 2001. In the year 2000, Coca-Cola sold a total of 1 .1 billion cases of their fi!!y drin" product worldwide. The largest consu#er was $orth %#erica, where &0.' per cent of the total (olu#e was purchased. The second largest consu#er was )atin %#erica. *urope and %sia purchased 20.+ and 16.' per cent of the total (olu#e respecti(ely, while %frica and the ,iddle *ast re#ained fairly s#all consu#ers at per cent of the total (olu#e of sales. -ince 1996, share prices for Coca-Cola ha(e fluctuated. In that year, shares were (alued at appro.i#ately /&+. 0etween 1996 and 199 , howe(er, prices rose significantly to / 0 per share. They dipped a little in #id-199 and then pea"ed at /10 per share in #id-91. 2ro# then until 2000 their (alue fell consistently but there was a slight rise in #id-2000. #2 The chart below gives information about global sales of games software, C s and video. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information. ! or
The chart shows the changes in the sales of (ideo #aterial 3 454s, ga#es software and C4s around the world in billions of dollars o(er a three-year period. It can be seen that the sales of (ideos 3 454s and ga#es software ha(e increased, while the sales of C4s ha(e gone down slightly. 0etween 2000 and 200&, the sale of (ideos and 454s rose by appro.i#ately 1& billion dollars. In
2000, 6ust under 20 billion dollars worth of these ite#s were sold, but in 200&, this figure had risen to a little o(er &0 billion dollars. The sales of ga#es software also rose during this period, but less sharply. -ales increased fro# about 1& billion dollars in 2000 to 6ust under 20 billion dollars three years later. 0y contrast, during the sa#e ti#e period, the sale of C4s fell fro# &+ billion dollars in 2000 to about &2.+ billion dollars in 200&. #" The graphs below show the types of music albums purchased by people in #ritain according to s"$ and age. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.
model answer: The three graphs pro(ide an o(er(iew of the types of #usic people purchase in the 78. %t first glance we see that classical #usic is far less popular than pop or roc" #usic. 9hile slightly #ore wo#en than #en buy pop #usic, the roc" #ar"et is do#inated by #en with &0: buying roc", co#pared to 1 : of wo#en. 2ro# the first graph we see that interest in pop #usic is steady fro# age 16 to '' with 20: of the population continuing to buy pop C4s after the age of '+. The interest in roc" #usic reaches its pea" a#ong the 2+ to &' year olds, though it ne(er sells as well as pop. Interest also drops off after the age of &+ with an e(en sharper fall fro# age '+ onwards, a pattern which is the opposite to the classical #usic graph.

The diagram below shows the average hours of unpaid wor% per wee% done by people in different categories. &'npaid wor% refers to such activities as childcare in the home, housewor% and gardening.( escribe the information presented below, comparing results for men and women in the categories shown. )uggest reasons for what you see.
*ou should write at least 1+, words. *ou should spend about 2, minutes on this tas%.
model answer: The diagra# re(eals that the nu#ber of hours per wee" spent in unpaid wor" is une;ually distributed between #en and wo#en. In households where there are no children, wo#en are reported to wor" so#e &0 hours per wee" in such tas"s as housewor" and gardening. ,en<s contribution to these unpaid 6obs a(erages a
considerably lower 11 hours. 9hen children enter the household, howe(er, the ine;uality beco#es e(en #ore pronounced. In fa#ilies of 1 - 2 children, #en #aintain appro.i#ately the sa#e nu#ber of hours of unpaid wor" as in childless households, but the nu#ber of hours wo#en wor" in the ho#e rises to +2 per wee", #uch of it, on doubt, due to childcare responsibilities. Interestingly, when there are three or #ore children in the household, #en are found to wor" e(en fewer hours around the house than before the appearance of the third child. 9hereas wo#en<s unpaid hours rise to appro.i#ately +6 per wee", the corresponding figure for #en, 16, actually represents a decrease. The data suggest that the increased presence of wo#en in the paid wor" force has yet to lead to an increased role for #en in the ho#e. #The chart below shows the amount of leisure time en.oyed by men and women of different employment status. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.
*ou should write at least 1+, words. /llow yourself 2, minutes for this tas%.
model answer: The chart shows the nu#ber of hours of leisure en6oyed by #en and wo#en in a typical wee" in 1991-9, according to gender and e#ploy#ent status. %#ong those e#ployed full-ti#e, #en on a(erage had fifty hours of leisure, whereas wo#en had appro.i#ately thirty-se(en hours. There were no figures gi(en for #ale part-ti#e wor"ers, but fe#ale part-ti#ers had forty hours of leisure ti#e, only slightly #ore than wo#en in full-ti#e e#ploy#ent, perhaps reflecting their wor" in the ho#e. In the une#ployed and retired categories, leisure ti#e showed an increase for both se.es, as #ight ha(e been e.pected. =ere too, #en en6oyed #ore leisure ti#e o(er eighty hours, co#pared with se(enty hours for wo#en, perhaps once again reflecting the fact that wo#en spend #ore ti#e
wor"ing in the ho#e than #en. )astly, housewi(es en6oyed appro.i#ately fifty-four hours of leisure, on a(erage. There were no figures gi(en for househusbands> ?(erall, the chart de#onstrates that in the categories for which statistics on #ale leisure ti#e were a(ailable, #en en6oyed at least ten hours of e.tra leisure ti#e. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information in the graph below.
model answer: The graph co#pares the rate of s#o"ing in #en and wo#en in -o#eland between the years 1960 and 2000. It can be clearly seen that the rate of s#o"ing for both #en and wo#en is currently declining and that fewer wo#en ha(e s#o"ed throughout the period. In 1960, 600 #en in e(ery 1,000 was s#o"ing. This nu#ber decreased gradually to +00 by 19 ' and continued to decrease but #ore steeply to 2+0 in 2000. In contrast, the rate of s#o"ing in wo#en in 1960 was (ery low at only 10 in e(ery 1,000. 0y 1961 this increased to 1 0, and increased again but #ore steeply to &20 in 19 . The rate of fe#ale s#o"ers then re#ained stable at &20 until 191' at which point the figures began to decline and had dropped to 200 by 2000. In conclusion we can see that the rate of s#o"ing in #en dropped throughout the whole period but was always at a higher le(el than the fe#ale figures. The rate of s#o"ing in wo#en increased until 19 but then decreased for the rest of the period.
Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information in the graphs below.
model answer: The graphs co#pare the nu#ber of deaths caused by si. diseases in -o#eland in 1990 with the a#ount of research funding allocated to each of those diseases. It can be clearly seen that the a#ount of research funding in #any cases did not correlate with the seriousness of the disease in ter#s of nu#bers of deaths. In 1990 there were around 0.2 #illion deaths fro# %I4-, 0.1 #illion deaths fro# leprosy, 0.& #illion deaths fro# tropical diseases, 0.+ #illion deaths fro# diarrhoea, 0.' #illion deaths fro# #alaria and 1.1 #illion deaths fro# T0. These figures can be contrasted with the a#ount of funding allocated for each disease. In 1990 %I4- recei(ed 110 #illion dollars in research funding, leprosy 10 #illion dollars in research funding, tropical diseases 9 #illion dollars in research funding, diarrhoea 60 #illion dollars in research funding, #alaria +0 #illion dollars and T0 20 #illion dollars in research funding. In conclusion it is clear that funding allocation for disease research in -o#eland is not wholly deter#ined by the nu#ber of deaths for which each disease is responsible in a gi(en year.
Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information in the two graphs below.
model answer: The pie charts co#pare the highest le(el of education achie(ed by wo#en in -o#eland across two years, 19'+ and 199+. It can be clearly seen that wo#en recei(ed a #uch higher le(el of education in -o#eland in 199+ than they did in 19'+. In 19'+ only &0: of wo#en co#pleted their secondary education and 1: went on to a first degree. $o wo#en had co#pleted post-graduate studies. This situation had changed radically by 199+. In 199+, 90: of wo#en in -o#eland had co#pleted secondary education and of those, half had graduated fro# an initial degree and 20: had gone on to postgraduate studies. %t the other end of the scale we can see that by 199+ all girls were co#pleting lower secondary, although 10: ended their schooling at this point. This is in star" contrast with 19'+ when only &0: of girls co#pleted pri#ary school, &+: had no schooling at all and &+: only co#pleted the third grade. In conclusion, we can see that in the +0 years fro# 19'+ to 199+ there ha(e been huge positi(e de(elop#ents to the education le(els of wo#en in -o#eland.
Write a report describing the information in the graph below.
The chart shows stri"ing differences in the le(el of co#puter and Internet penetration in the %rab world. The 7%* and 8uwait are by far the #ost co#puteri!ed countries, with )ebanon a distant third. The 7%* has o(er 1+0 co#puters for e(ery 1000 inhabitants, co#pared to 8uwait<s 1&0 and )ebanon<s 60. In contrast, countries such as *gypt, ,orocco and -yria ha(e less than 20 co#puters per 1000 inhabitants. There are also great differences in Internet use and a(ailability. The 7%* has by far the highest proportion of users, with #ore than one-third of its population using the Internet. 8uwait and )ebanon are second and third again, with 100 users per thousand in 8uwait and 10 in )ebanon. In so#e countries the nu#ber using the Internet is negligible@ -audi %rabia has less than 20 users per thousand, and there are fewer than + users per thousand in -yria. ?ne unusual feature of the graph is that Internet use does not see# to be directly related to the nu#ber of co#puters. In se(eral countries Athe 7%*, )ebanon, Bordan and ?#anC, there are #ore Internet users per thousand people than co#puters. =owe(er, in other countries, such as 8uwait, -audi %rabia and -yria, the nu#ber of Internet users is lower than the nu#ber of co#puters. In su##ary, there are #a6or differences between co#puter use and Internet use in the %rab world, but the 7%* clearly leads the area in both nu#ber of co#puters and nu#ber of internet users per capita.

model answer: The graph shows the changing patterns in co##uting by train, car, tube or bus for co##uters in )ondon in the years 1960, 1910 and 2000. The nu#ber of people using trains at first rose fro# 6ust under 20: in 1960 to about 26: in 1910, but then fell bac" to about 2&: in 2000. 7se of the tube has been relati(ely stable, falling fro# around 2 : of co##uters in 1960 to 22: in 1910, but cli#bing bac" to reach 2+: by 2000. ?n the other hand, the use of cars increased steadily fro# 6ust o(er +: in 1960 to 2&: in 1910, reaching al#ost '0: by 2000, whereas the popularity of buses has declined since 1960, falling fro# 6ust under &+: in 1960 to 2 : in 1910 and only 1+: in 2000. The graph indicates the growing use of cars for co##uting to wor" between 1960 - 2000, and the corresponding decline in the popularity of buses fro# being the #ost popular #ode of transport in 1960 to the least popular in 2000.

model answer: The graph shows wee"ly e.penditure on fast food in 0ritain by food and inco#e group. There are two #ain trends. 2irst, the e.penditure is directly related to inco#e. -econdly, there are differences in the types of fast food eaten by each group. The a#ount of #oney spent on fast food is related to inco#e. Deople in the high-inco#e group spent the #ost - o(er 1+ pence per person per wee". Deople in the low-inco#e group spent the least - less than half of what the high-inco#e earners spent. The type of fast food eaten also depends on the group. =igh-inco#e earners spent & ti#es #ore on ha#burgers than people in the low-inco#e group. Di!!a was generally the least fa(orite food. 2ish and chips was the #ost popular food with the low-inco#e group but consu#ption was fairly si#ilar a#ong all groups.
model answer: The pie charts show changes in %#erican spending patterns between 1966 and 1996. 2ood and cars #ade up the two biggest ite#s of e.penditure in both years. Together they co#prised o(er half of household spending. 2ood accounted for '': of spending in 1966, but this dropped by two thirds to 1': in 1996. =owe(er, the outlay on cars doubled, rising fro# 2&: in 1966 to '+: in 1996. ?ther areas changed significantly. -pending on eating out doubled, cli#bing fro# : to 1':. The proportion of salary spent on co#puters increased dra#atically, up fro# 1: in 1996 to 10: in 1996. =owe(er, as co#puter e.penditure rose, the percentage of outlay on boo"s plunged fro# 6: to 1:. -o#e areas re#ained relati(ely unchanged. %#ericans spent appro.i#ately the sa#e a#ount of salary on petrol and furniture in both years. In conclusion, increased a#ounts spent on cars, co#puters, and eating out were #ade up for by drops in e.penditure on food and boo"s.
model answer: The graph shows changes in the a#ount of fast food consu#ed in the 78 between 19 0 and 1990. -e(eral trends are apparent. 2irst, 0ritons are eating #ore and #ore fast food. -econdly, the type of fast food has changed. In 19 0, the #ost popular fast food was fish and chips. ?(er &00g were consu#ed each wee". 0y 1990, howe(er, this had fallen to 6ust o(er 200g - a +0: drop. Consu#ption of other fast foods such as pi!!a and ha#burgers increased, howe(er. The a#ount of pi!!a eaten shot up fro# about 20g a wee" to #ore than 2 0g, o(erta"ing fish and chips in the late 1910s. =a#burger consu#ption also increased, rising fro# about 10g in 19 0 to al#ost &00g in 1990. %cco#panying this change in the choice of foods was an increase in the a#ount of fast food consu#ed. In 19 0, 0ritish consu#ers ate about '+0g a wee" of fast food. In 1990, on the other hand, this had #ore than doubled, to 1000g.
alternative answer: The graph shows the a#ount of fast food eaten between 19 0 and 1990 in gra#s per person per wee". ?(erall, the a#ount of fast food eaten #ore than doubled. The a#ount of fish and chips eaten declined slightly. In 19 0, the consu#ption was about &00g3wee". This fell to 220g3wee" in 1990. In contrast, sales of ha#burger and pi!!a roc"eted. In 19 0, (ery little pi!!a was eaten - less than +0g3wee". This rose to 210g3wee" by 1990. In the sa#e period, ha#burger sales shot up by #ore than +00:, fro# 100g3wee" in 19 0 to +00 gra#s in 1990. In conclusion, although there was a big increase in the consu#ption of pi!!a and ha#burger, sales of fish and chips decreased.
model answer: The chart shows stri"ing changes in the fertility rate of wo#en in si. Eulf countries F -audi %rabia, the 7%*, ?#an, Gatar, 8uwait and 0ahrain between 1990 and 2000. In the ten year period, there was a decline in the nu#ber of births per wo#an in all countries. The biggest declines were in two countries which had low fertility rates at the start of the decade, 0ahrain and the 7%*. 2ertility rates (ary greatly between the si. countries. ?#an and -audi %rabia had the highest rates, with o(er se(en births per wo#an in 1990. This co#pared with around ' births per wo#an in 0ahrain and the 7%*, and 6ust &. + in 8uwait 0y 2000, the rate had fallen below three births per wo#an in 8uwait, 0ahrain and the 7%*, with a drop of o(er 2+: in a decade in the 7%*. =owe(er, in -audi %rabia and ?#an, the rates fell by 6ust 20:, fro# .0 to +.+. In su##ary, there were #a6or decreases in birth rates in all countries, but so#e countries in the region ha(e double the fertility rate of others.
model answer: The line graph shows esti#ated sales of gold in 4ubai for 12 #onths in 2002 in #illions of dirha#s. There were two #ain seasons for gold sales. The #ain season for sales is in the 4ece#ber to ,ay period. -ales were consistently abo(e 200 #illion dirha#s per #onth, rising sharply to a pea" of &+0 #illion dirha#s in ,arch. =owe(er, for the ne.t four #onths, sales declined steadily, reaching an annual low of 120 #illion dirha#s in Buly. In %ugust, there was a sudden increase. -ales al#ost doubled, rising fro# 120 #illion dirha#s in Buly to 210 #illion dirha#s in %ugust. This was followed by a drop in -epte#ber, bac" to the Buly figure. 2ro# -epte#ber to ?ctober, sales reco(ered, fro# 120 to 110 #illion. In ?ctober and $o(e#ber, sales re#ained steady, and there was a s#all increase in 4ece#ber to 190 #illion dirha#s. In conclusion, the #ain sales period is in the early part of the year, slu#ping in the su##er, e.cept for a sudden increase in %ugust.
The chart below shows the amount of money per wee% spent on fast foods in #ritain. The graph shows the trends in consumption of fast foods. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.
model answer: The chart shows that high inco#e earners consu#ed considerably #ore fast foods than the other inco#e groups, spending #ore than twice as #uch on ha#burgers A'& pence per person per wee"C than on fish and chips or pi!!a Aboth under 20 penceC. %(erage inco#e earners also fa(oured ha#burgers, spending && pence per person per wee", followed by fish and chips at 2' pence, then pi!!a at 11 pence. )ow inco#e earners appear to spend less than other inco#e groups on fast foods, though fish and chips re#ains their #ost popular fast food, followed by ha#burgers and then pi!!a. 2ro# the graph we can see that in 19 0, fish and chips were twice as popular as burgers, pi!!a being at that ti#e the least popular fast food. The consu#ption of ha#burgers and pi!!a has risen steadily o(er the 20 year period to 1990 while the consu#ption of fish and chips has been in decline o(er that sa#e period with a slight increase in popularity since 191+.
The charts below show the number of 3apanese tourists travelling abroad between 11-+ and 111+ and /ustralias share of the 3apanese tourist mar%et. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.
model answer: This chart shows us that Bapanese tourists go abroad for tra(elling in a decade and %ustralians share of #ar"eting for Bapanese tourists. 0etween 191+ and 199+ Bapanese tourists tra(elling abroad was dra#atically increased. In 1+ there was about + #ilions tra(eller go abroad. -ince 1+ nu#ber of tra(eller went up dra#atically until '0. It was alo#ost twice then between 90 and 9& the nu#ber ri#ain stateable, which is about 12 #illions. 2ro# 9& to 9+ it rose slightly. Therefore in 199+ there were about 1+ #illions people went abroad.
I a# going to write about the other chart, which is %ustralians share of Bapaneses tourist #ar"et. This is also between 191+ and 199+. %bout 2 #illion Bapanese tourist went to %ustralia in 191+. 0etween 1+ and 19 people went there is increased sharply, which is al#ost & ti#es #ore.

The chart below shows the amount spent on si$ consumer goods in four 0uropean countries. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.
model answer:
The chart shows that 0ritain, a#ong the four *uropean countries listed, has spent #ost hea(ily on the range of consu#er goods included. In e(ery case, 0ritish spending is considerably higher than that of other countriesH only in the case of tennis rac;uets does another country, Italy, co#e close. In contrast, Eer#any is generally the lowest spender. This Is #ost e(ident in photographic fil#, where Eer#any spends #uch less than 0ritain. Eer#any only spends #ore than another country, 2rance, in two casesH tennis rac;uets and perfu#es. ,eanwhile, 2rance and Italy generally #aintain #iddle positions, a(eraging appro.i#ately si#ilar spending o(erall. -pecifically, 2rance spends #ore on C4s and photographic fil# but less on tennis rac;uets than Italy does. Italys spending on personal stereos is only #arginally greater than that of 2rance, while spending on toys is e;ual between the two. It is clear fro# the data gi(en that there are so#e significant differences in spending habits within *urope.
The charts below show the main reasons for study among students of different age groups and the amount of support they received from employers. )ummarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and ma%e comparisons where relevant.
model answer: The first graph shows that there is a gradual decrease in study for career reasons with age. $early 10: of students under 26 years, study for their career. This percentage gradually declines by 1020: e(ery decade. ?nly '0: of '0-'9yr olds and 11: of o(er '9yr olds studing for career reasons in late adulthood. Con(ersely, the first graph also shows that study ste##ing fro# interest increases with age. There are only 10: of under 26yr olds studing out of interest. The percentage increases slowly till the beginning of the fourth decade, and increases dra#atically in late adulthood. $early sa#e nu#ber of '0-'9yr olds study for career and interest. =owe(er 0: of o(er '9yr olds study for interest in co#parison to 11: studing for career reasons in that age group. The second graph shows that e#ployer support is #a.i#u# Aappro.i#ately 60:C for the under 26yr students. It drops rapidly to &2: up to the third decade of life, and then increses in late adulthood up to about '':. It is unclear whether e#ployer support is only for career-focused study, but the highest le(el is for those students who #ainly study for career purposes.

The diagram below shows the typical stages of consumer goods manufacturing, including the process by which information is fed bac% to earlier stages to enable ad.ustment. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the process shown.
model answer: ,ost consu#er goods go through a series of stages before they e#erge as finished products ready for sale. Iaw #aterials and #anufactured co#ponents co#prise the initial physical input in the #anufacturing process. ?nce obtained, these are stored for later asse#bly. 0ut asse#bly first depends upon the production planning stage, where it is decided how and in what ;uantities the stored #aterials will be processed to create sufficient ;uantities of finished goods. The production planning stage itself follows the re;uire#ents of the goods< design stage that proceeds fro# e.tensi(e research. %fter asse#bly, the products are inspected and tested to #aintain ;uality control l Those units that pass the inspection and testing stages are then pac"aged, despatched and offered for sale in retail outlets. The le(el of sales, which is the end point of the #anufacturing process, helps deter#ine production planning. % product<s design is not only the result of product research, but is also influenced by testing and #ar"et research. If the testing stage Aafter asse#bly and inspectionC re(eals unacceptable proble#s in the finished product, then ad6ust#ents will ha(e to be #ade to the product<s design. -i#ilarly, #ar"et research, which e.a#ines the e.tent and nature of the de#and for products, has the role of guiding product design to suit consu#er de#ands which #ay change with ti#e. ,ar"et
research, while influenced by product sales, also ser(es to foster future sales by de(ising suitable ad(ertising for the goods.

model answer: % glance at four indicators of econo#ic and social conditions in four countries, Canada, Bapan, Deru and Kaire, in 199' reflects the great differences that e.ist between wealthier and poorer nations. The table shows that Bapan and Canada had annual inco#es of /1+ 60 and /11 100 per person, respecti(ely. These figures were o(erwhel#ingly greater than the corresponding figures of /160 in Deru and /1&0 in Kaire. =ealth indicators, too, reflected o(erall le(els of affluence in the four nations. )ife e.pectancy at birth, for e.a#ple, was higher a#ong the #ore econo#ically de(eloped countries. Bapan reported the highest life e.pectancy, 1. This was followed by Canada, 6H Deru, +1H and Kaire, ' H This suggests that richer societies are able to put #ore #oney into health care than poorer ones. The a#ount of calories consu#ed daily per person roughly followed the sa#e ran"ing. Canadians each consu#ed so#e & &26 calories per day while the Bapanese too" 21'6 calories. The corresponding figures for Deru and Kaire were 192 and 1 '9, respecti(ely. )iteracy rates a#ong adults, too, were higher in wealthier countries, no doubt a reflection of ability to in(est in education. Canada and Bapan both reported literacy rates of 99:, while Deru clai#ed 61:. Kaire, the least econo#ically de(eloped of the four countries, had a literacy rate of &':.

model answer: 4ifferences in sleep patterns appear to reflect differences in indi(iduals< occupations. % Canadian study has pointed out, for e.a#ple, that students typically sleep for a consecuti(e 1hour period each night, fro# 11 p.#. to a.#. This #ay be because the central acti(ity in their li(es, study, ta"es place in nor#al daylight hours. -i#ilarly, business e.ecuti(es sleep consecuti(e hours, but perhaps because their 6obs are especially busy and stressful they sleep for 6 hours on a(erage, getting up around + a.#.. 0y contrast, truc" dri(ers, probably because of their need to "eep their truc"s on the road o(er long periods, tend to sleep in two &-hour bloc"s@ one between and 10 a.#. and another fro# ' to p.#. %nother occupation associated with bro"en sleep schedules is that of doctors. They tend to retire to bed around 1 a.#. and start their day at a.#.., but #ay be wo"en up to deal with e#ergencies in the #iddle of the night. 2inally, full-ti#e #others, especially those with young children, tend to sleep when their babies do. Typically, they will sleep fro# 10 p.#. and be awo"en at 1 a.#. to co#fort their babies for a couple of hours. They then go bac" to bed to wa"e at 6 a.#., but nap for two hours or so in the early afternoon. Thus the influence on one<s sleep pattern is worthy of consideration when choosing an occupation. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information in the table below.
model answer: The table shows how people in different age groups spend their leisure ti#e in -o#eland o(er the course of a year. It can be clearly seen that the a#ount of leisure ti#e a(ailable (aries considerably across the age groups and that people of different age le(els ha(e (ery different ways of spending their leisure ti#e. %ccording to the figures, as people age in -o#eland their social li(es reduce. Teenagers and people in their twenties spend on a(erage +00 hours per year on socialising and &+0 hours of that ti#e is with a group of #ore than ' people. %lthough the total hours of socialising in their &0s, '0s, +0s and 60s is fairly constant Abetween &00-&+0C, socialising with #ore than ' people drops dra#atically to +0 hours in the &0s and '0s age groups and only 2+ fro# +0 years old. Eroup and indi(idual e.ercise follow a si#ilar pattern. Deople of all ages spend a good part of their leisure ti#e on entertain#ent such as T53(ideo (iewing and cine#a. In both cases, teenagers and retired people spend around twice as #uch ti#e as those who are at wor"ing age. =o#e entertain#ent ranges fro# 6ust o(er a thousand hours for teenagers and retired people and an a(erage of 600 hours for e(eryone else. Cine#a accounts for 100 hours of the teenagers and retired peopleLs leisure ti#e and 2+-+0 hours for the rest. In conclusion we can see there is a significant trend towards solitary and s#aller group acti(ities as people grow older and that teenagers and retired people spend a lot #ore ti#e on entertain#ent than those of wor"ing age do.
