Sample answer:

The charts compare the percentage of time adults spend in six areas including

shopping, cooking, eating, developing hobbies, reading and socializing between

1998 and 2010.

Generally speaking, the overall trends were quite similar from 1998 and 2010,

to be more accurate, more than 20% of their spare time had been used for

building social connections, followed by developing their hobbies, reading and

shopping as well. On the contrary, people spent limited time on cooking and

eating, the percentage of which was less than 10 in 1998 and even 5 in 2010.

However, slight differences can also be observed. To be specific, the time

spent on shopping, and developing hobbies had increased obviously, from 10% to

15% and from 15% to 20% respectively during that period of time. Meanwhile, a

subtle increase can be seen regarding socializing. In addition to this, the

percentage of time used for reading maintained steady. By contrast, compared

with 1998, people spent less time on cooking and eating due to the change of

lifestyle in that country.
