Look at the pie charts and the graph and correct seven mistakes in the text.
The information shows the favourite hobbies of 12 to 16-year-olds in the 1980s and 2010s and the amount of exercise they have done over this period. The information shows that favourite hobbies have changed, and also that the amount of weekly exercise has decreased for some age groups.
In the 2010s, 12 to 14-year-olds prefer activities which involve exercise. We can see that in the 1980s just over two thirds of 12 to 14 year olds named playing sports as their favourite hobby, whereas in the 2010s this number was just under a third. In the 2010s, watching TV was the most popular hobby.
This change is also reflected in the amount of exercise done by this age group. Although the amount of exercise done by 14-year-olds remained about the same throughout this period, the amount of weekly exercise done by 13 and 14-year-olds rose. In 1980, 13-year-olds did 13 hours of exercise per week on average. This decreased to 8 hours per week in 2010. This drop was steeper in 14-year-olds, from 11 hours per week in 1980 to 3 hours per week in 2010.
Model Answer
The information shows the favourite hobbies of
12 to 16 14-year-olds in the 1980s and 2010s
and the amount of exercise they have done over
this period. The information shows that favourite
hobbies have changed, and also that the amount
of weekly exercise has decreased for some age
groups.
In the 2010s, 12 to 14-year-olds prefer activities
which do not involve exercise. We can see that in
the 1980s just over two thirds a half of 12 to 14
year olds named playing sports as their favourite
hobby, whereas in the 2010s this number was
just under a third. In the 2010s, watching TV
playing computer games was the most popular
hobby.
This change is also reflected in the amount of
exercise done by this age group. Although the
amount of exercise done by 14 12-year-olds
remained about the same throughout this period,
the amount of weekly exercise done by 13 and
14-year-olds rose decreased/ went down. In
1980 ,13-year-olds did 13 hours of exercise per
week on average. This decreased to 8 hours per
week in 2010. This drop was steeper in 14-year olds, from 11 hours per week in 1980 to 3 5
hours per week in 2010.
