The most frequently used diagrams are pie charts, bar charts, line graphs, tables and pictograms. Do you remember what they look like? Can you draw them? Think about these aspects of daily life. Which do you think men usually spend more time on? Which do women spend more time on? 37 38 a Look at the diagram.

(2) According to the chart, men spent around twice as much time working and commuting to work as women. Men spent nearly six hours per day while women spent just under three hours. However, this pattern is reversed when it comes to housework and childcare, with women looking aer the home and family for around three hours per day compared to only around ˆeen minutes for men. (3) As the chart shows , men and women spent about the same amount of time relaxing and socialising. However, women spent almost one and a half hours on personal appearance in contrast to just over an hour for men. As far as sleep is concerned , men slept for seven hours and forty-nine minutes per day with women sleeping, on average, fourteen minutes less per day. (4) In conclusion, there are still signiˆcant di erences between how men and women spend their time, particularly when it comes to the key areas of work, home and family.
