Задание 38/Leisure activities most popular among senior citizens in Zetland (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

Leisure activities are a great way to train the brain and at the same time to give yourself a rest and get distracted from the routine. While doing the project on what leisure activities are most popular among senior citizens in Zetland, I have found some data and now I am going to analyse it and give my opinion.

According to the pie chart, the majority of elderly citizens (38%) spend their spare time in front of the TV screens, while 35% prefer reading. It is noticeable that 15% of seniors enjoy the company of family and friends, whereas only 4% have fun playing computer games or videos.

Further data analysis allows me to make a comparison. Gardening is popular with 7% of citizens in Zetland, which is 5 times less than those spending time reading.

It comes as no surprise since work with plants requires appropriate knowledge, while a book can plunge you into the engaging world effortlessly.

There is a problem that can arise with taking up a leisure activity. Often an idea of starting a new hobby remains unrealised because of not knowing where to start from. It would be nice to make a plan first and go deep into a theory.

To conclude, it is greatly important for humans to make time for their interests, especially for young adults as it promotes personal development.
