[IELTS TASK 1]The chart below shows the amount of leisure time enjoyed by men and women of different employment status.

Question

The bar chart compares the amount of free time spent by two sexes in terms of employment status between 1998 and 1999.

It is evident that the unemployed and retired spent more time on leisure activities than the remaining three groups. Besides, the hours of leisure time enjoyed by males were higher than that of females with a notable exception in the employed fulltime and housewives group.

Males who were unemployed and retired spent roughly 85 hours on leisure activities, which are twice as much as that of males working fulltime. In contrast, no figure was recorded for males in employed part time and housewives group.

From 1998 to 1999, nearly 76 hours of leisure time went on females in unemployment and retirement. Additionally, approximately 40 hours were recorded in the group of women working fulltime. The employed part time and housewives group witnessed a domination of women in hours of leisure time with 40 and 43 hours respectively.

Model essay: Paragraph 1: describe the figure.

Paragraph 2: Describe the data.

The bar chart shows the hours of leisure time per week that males and females had, broken down by their employment status. The data is from the years 1998-9 and the values plotted ranged from zero to eighty-five hours. There are five categories shown: Employed (part time and full time), Unemployed, Retired and Housewives.

In general, men had ten to twenty percent more leisure time than women, except in the housewives and part-time employed categories, where they had no leisure time at all. The groups with the most leisure time were the retired and unemployed, males having about 85 hours per week and females about 10 hours less. Among the women, housewives had the second-highest numbers, with about 50 hours, followed by part-time and full-time workers at 42 and 38 hours respectively. Among the men, only three of the five categories had data. Besides the retired and unemployed, whose numbers were cited earlier, there were the employed, with about 50 hours.
