IELTS Task 1: Vertical Bar Graph: Home activities among young children in four countries

The vertical bar graph depicts four different home activities among young children in Malaysia, China, Nigeria and Sudan. The data is calibrated in percentage.

From an overall perspective, it is apparent that Computer Games are the most popular home activity in all four countries, with Nigerian kids preferring it the most at 60%, closely followed by Malaysian and Sudanese at 50% each. Comparatively, only 40% of Chinese kids prefer games. It is also noticeable that watching TV is equally preferred at 30% in all four countries.

Moving further, it is evident that the least popular home activity is Reading, with a 20% preference in Malaysia and a mere 10% for both Nigeria and Sudan. Sudanese children report a 30% choice for board games, followed by 25% for Malaysia and China.

Overall, Computer Games are the most popular and Reading is the least preferred home activity in all four countries.

Note!: Since there is no mention of the year in the given graph, you may use the present tense or the past tense.
Either of them would be correct.
However, a few people may believe that since the survey has already been taken, the past tense should be used. If that is the case, you may write this in the past tense for your own satisfaction. :)
