- The two pie charts draw the conclusion of a survey of boys' and girls' cultural and leisure activities.
- Overall, equal quantities of both sexes enjoyed listening to music, but a dramatically larger number of girls liked reading. There were also many differences in terms of the children's preferred sports.
- Turning to the first chart, we can observe that boys prefer playing computer games (34% participation rate) than taking other activities. Playing basketball comes as the second most popular leisure, practiced by just over a quarter of male children. Basketball is followed by soccer, which is exercised by 17%. Skateboarding and listening to music are less preferable activities, chosen by 11% and 10% of boys respectively. Reading, the least popular cultural activity among boys, represents only two percent
- Taking a closer look at the second chart, we can see that girls' most preferred activity is dancing, being 27% of the total. In contrast to the boys' preferences, reading is chosen by more than a fifth of all girls. Although percentage of female children who play computer games is roughly twice less than that of boys (16%), this activity is third most popular on the girls' chart. With a slight difference between computer games and netball, the latter is practiced at 15% rate. Similarly, to skateboarding popularity among boys, 11% of girls go in for gymnastics. Listening to music comes as the least popular leisure, with a proportion of 10%, equal to those on the first chart.

Playing basketball comes as the second most popular leisure, practiced by almost a third (26% - just over a quarter) of male children.
You're right - (just over a quarter) is most accurate.

The two pie charts provide data, derived from a questionnaire, on the participation of boys and girls in activities associated with culture and spare time.Overall, computer games were the most popular type of entertainment for boys, while the other genders showed the strongest inclination toward dancing.The most engrossing activity for male respondents was playing computer games, attracting almost one third of them. This figure was twice as high as that of girls. Dancing, which did not engross boys, was the most popular activity for girls. Their second choice was reading, in which almost one fifth of them participated. In contrast, the opposite gender showed the lowest interest in texts. 10% of both groups were interested in listening to music.In the case of sports, basketball was played by 26%, followed by soccer and skateboarding. Meanwhile, different types of sports, including netball and gymnastics, were selected by girls, with participation rates of 15% and 11%, respectively
