The table and chart below show the time spent at leisure and household activities in Britain. eXV7
The given bar chart and table compare how much time males and females spend on various household activities every day with the recreational activities in Britain. It is noticeable that except for repair work, women do more household work than men. On an average, women spend about 75 minutes on cooking and washing, which is more than double the time spent by men on the same activity. Shopping and doing the laundry are other two most important activities for housewives, which take 35 and 30 minutes per day respectively, whereas men are unwilling to do these chores. Men spend approximately 19 minutes per day on repair work, which is surprisingly more than double the time spent by women on the same work. With regard to leisure activities, both genders spend almost similar time on all the three given activities, with TV, video and radio being the most popular and sports taking away the least of the leisure time. About two hours per day are spent on TV, video and radio, and nearly one third of an hour per day on reading. Compared to women, men spend slightly more time on sports.

Language is not a genetic gift, it is a social gift. Learning a new language is becoming a member of the club – the community of speakers of that language.
