The bar chart illustrates the amount of time on a weekly basis, from 2002 to

2007, when teenagers in Chester were occupied doing seven different pursuits
(going to pubs or discos, watching television, shopping, doing homework,
doing sport, watching DVDs, bowling).
Overall, it can be seen that adolescents spent the most time watching
television, while they had the least interest in bowling. Furthermore, during
the six-year period, three activities witnessed a consistent growth (going to
pubs or discos, watching television and shopping), while the other three
experienced decline (doing homework, doing sport and bowling). The rate of
watching DVDs fluctuated over time.
It can be seen that both going to pubs or discos and watching a television
reached their peaks in 2007 (below 20 and over 35 hours per week,
respectively). Nevertheless, in the same year the rate of other four activities
plunged, with doing homework being at about 8 hours, doing sport under 5,
watching DVDs at exactly 10, and bowling marginally over 0.
Another engrossing information that data from the chart shows is that the
teenagers had a rising rate of sedentary lifestyle (connected to the increase of
watching television), while some of the ventures that inquire physical activities
witnessed a considerable fall (doing sport, bowling).
