favourite activities of school children in Australia and the United Kingdom in the year 2001. 06Qll

This bar graph illustrates the favourite activities of school children in Australia and the United Kingdom in the year 2001. The most popular activity for school children in the United Kingdom was watching TV. Almost 65% of those surveyed preferred this to any other activity. In contrast, less than half that number (just over 30%) of Australian school children liked watching TV. In fact, they preferred more social activities, such as spending time with friends (62%) and playing or practising sport (40%). This contrasts with the preferences of UK children who spent less time at these activities, 40% and 25%, respectively. Contrary to popular opinion, children in both countries did not spend a great deal of time using their computers. Only 28% of Australian children liked spending their leisure time playing computer games and just 8% using the Internet. Slightly fewer children from the UK liked these activities, 23% and 3%, respectively. In summary, Australian children would rather socialise with friends and take part in sporting activities whereas UK schoolchildren preferred more solitary activities such as watching TV.
