Hobbies of Students During Summer Vacations
The table presents an interesting comparison of hobbies preferred by boys and girls during summer vacations. A clear gender divide is visible across all five hobbies.
Among boys, Photography is the most popular hobby at 35%, followed closely by Playing (30%) and Yoga (19%). Dancing and Singing are least preferred by boys, with only 13% and 7% respectively.
Girls, on the other hand, overwhelmingly favour Dancing (40%), followed by Singing (25%) and Playing (16%). Photography attracts a mere 5% of girls, making it their least preferred activity.
Overall, outdoor and creative pursuits like Photography and Playing dominate among boys, while performing arts like Dancing and Singing are more popular with girls. Yoga remains moderately popular for both genders.
Explanation
- Structure: Opening sentence → Boys' analysis → Girls' analysis → Overall conclusion. This is the standard analytical paragraph format examiners expect.
- Key examiner expectations: Use data (percentages) directly from the table; draw comparisons; highlight highest, lowest, and trends for each group; end with an overall inference.
- Do not simply list figures — you must analyse (compare, contrast, infer).
- Word count: Stay close to 120 words; going far over or under costs marks.
