SAMPLE ANSWER
The chart describes the time spent by children aged between 10 and 15 years old on chatting online and playing computer games in the UK.
Overall, we can see that playing games is more popular than chatting on the internet. Compared with chatting online which most girls engage in, boys have a preference for playing on games consoles.
The same figure can be seen on less-than-1-hour chatting online in both genders, which makes up about 25%. In contrast, 30 % of girls engaging in 1-3-hour online communication, while only 25% is boys. The figures for this 4-hours-plus activity are just under 10% among girls and boys, which is the smallest percentage.
