The charts below show the percentage of time younger and older people spend on various Internet activities in their free time (excluding email). Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The pie charts illustrate how people of younger and older age groups allocate their free time to/for on various activities on the Internet.
Overall, the two groups have the opposing patterns in their favorite choices. In addition, younger people tend to spend their time more evenly in the activities than their counterparts.
To specify, while social networking consumes 24%, the largest proportion of time of the 18-26 age group, it is considered as one of the least popular for the 60-70 age group, at only 8%. Inevitably, the former is exactly 3 times higher than the latter. Likewise, younger people spend 18% of their time on playing games, which is again triple that of the older.
In contrast, the older group regards making bookings for cinema or travel as the best use they make of the Internet with 29% of the total time, which exceeds that of the younger youngster by roughly 6 times. By comparison, the other activities share quite similar figures between two groups. For example, researching on health data and making purchases capture slightly higher ratios of time for the older users than the younger. Moreover, an insignificant difference is noticed in the time spent on for accessing music or films with the former 17% and the latter 21%.
