Bar chart - Report 4

The bar chart below shows the hours per week that teenagers spend doing certain activities
in Chester from 2002 to 2007.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and making
relevant comparisons.

The histogram compares and contrasts data on the changes in the amount of time adolescents
devote each week to various activities in Chester during a 5-year period beginning in 2002.

A cursory glance at the diagram highlights the fact that while teens' weekly hours wasted at bars
or discos, watching TV, and shopping increased, the opposite was true for homework, sports,
viewing DVDs, and bowling from 2002 to 2007. What stands out in the chart is that juveniles
spend the most hours per week watching TV during the time period shown.

Looking at the bar chart in more detail, it can be seen that TV watching dominated among
activities and witnessed a stable rise from 25 hours in 2002 to approximately 48 hours in 2007.
Meanwhile, whereas youths spent around 5 hours more time in pubs/clubs from 2002 to 2004,
this activity remained unchanged until 2006 and surged drastically to slightly more than 18 hours
in 2007. Moreover, shopping time experienced a steady increase from a little more than 5 hours
to exactly 15 hours throughout the timespan represented.

In terms of the remaining activities, the length of time spent on schoolwork and sports declined
progressively by around 5 hours and slightly under 10 hours, respectively, between 2002 and
2007. Watching DVDs saw several fluctuations, but nonetheless, it still increased by around 1
hour. Furthermore, bowling was constantly spent the shortest amount of time per week compared
to other ones, from a little less than 5 hours in 2002 to roughly 1 hour in 2007.
