Here we can find spending pattern of group of resident from UK on their leisure activities and how much percent it accounts for of their income. Basically there are 3 categories are considered in this survey, those are Food and drinks , Restaurants and hotel lastly Entertainment in comparison with different age groups.
One this is notable from this grape in particular is that as the age group is moving in ascending order expenses relating to food and drink is showing a upward moving curve. In case of entertainment we notice a same pattern through out the age group with an exception that to age group of 76+ which is basically a old age people might be less interested in entertainment. However on the other hand in case of eating outside (Restaurants and hotel) seems to following a uneven spending pattern. It can be witnessed that people under 30 till age of 60 have almost similar sending ranging between 10-15% though in age group of 61-75 we see a sharp decline on this category which is way below 5% .If we try to summarize, highest spending is done on both food and drinks along with entertainment equally approximately 22-23% coming from older population 61+
Task 1
This graph gives the percentage of spending done on three areas by people belonging to different age groups in the UK in 2004. Overall, it is clear that people spend the most on food and drinks.
In general, the people spending most on food are aged above 76. The only age group who spends the most on entertainment is 61-75. On the other hand, people aged below 30 spend the most on restaurants and hotels.
More precisely, the data suggests there is a uniformly rising trend for the money spent on consumption by all age groups. It can be seen that the percentage of money spent on food is 6% for people under 30, 13% for the group 31-45, 17% for the group 46-60, 20% for people aged 61-75 and 23% for people over 76.
The same goes for entertainment for all age groups; the trend is rising, except for the most senior age group. The percentage of money spent on entertainment is 7%, 8% , 14%, 23% in the first four age groups. However, it is 13% among people over 76.
The percentage of spending on restaurants and hotels has a rather more irregular trend. People under 30 spend the most on restaurants and hotels than anything else and than any other age group. The least spent in this category is only 2% by people aged between 61-75. The second and third age groups spend equally in this category - 12%. People over 76 spend 6% on restaurants and hotels.

Task 2
The young generation of some countries is often motivated to work or travel for one year when they have finished high school and are to enter university. This essay will examine the pros and cons in this regard and provide a logical conclusion.
The two main advantages of working or traveling a year before attending university are exposure to job life or different cultures and the formation of strong connections at an early age. When some youngsters finish high school they have fresh minds ready to try and learn new things. So, any job they do or places they travel to equip them with necessary skills that are useful later in life. Secondly, when they work or travel at an early age, they tend to build strong and long-lasting professional and personal relationships which turn out to be beneficial in their future.
However, working or traveling before starting university can be detrimental in some ways. Some people can lose the motivation to study once they spend a year at work or on traveling. They find it hard to adjust to a study environment due to a one-year gap. Also, many students spend time in planning the discipline they want to pursue and figuring out a suitable career for themselves. Those who work or travel in the meantime can often encounter difficulty in choosing the right course in their university studies and wisely planning their career. But this can be avoided, to a great extent, if they remain in touch with their classmates and receive adequate career counseling alongside their job life or traveling period.
In conclusion, working or traveling before attending university is highly beneficial for some young people, because it adds to their personal and professional development at an early age and they also make good connections in the meantime. Although, some might lose the pace to study or have trouble choosing a suitable discipline but taking career counseling sessions and being in touch with their friends can reduce these problems to a great extent.
task 1
can you estimate this from ielts standard How much time do you think about your money management? Our time we have very much way for spend money. We have do divide into three groups ; entertainment, food and drink, restaurant and hotel. After researching, we could find out, people are under 30 years old spend only 5 precent for food and drink of his total spending. In the same time people are 61-75 years old spend 20 precent. If talk about other age; 31-45 spend 13 precent , 46-60 spend 17 precent and 76 spend 22 precent. We can show human spend more for food and drink when his older than younger. Couse, older people know more receipts and his can cooked. According this we understood reason why younger people spend more money for restaurant than older people ,of course. The end entertainment need money and how we know older people usually earn more money than younger.
Students in some countries are encouraged to take a gap year after their high school to either work or travel rather than to continue their education at an university. This essay will discuss both the advantages and disadvantages of taking a year off to help young people to make an informed decision.
First of all, taking a gap year to work or travel strengthens a student's experience level and their character. Working and gaining real life experience helps develop skills and broadens a their knowledge in a way that cannot be achieved by being limited to textbooks. For example, one can learn the basics of cooking by studying the recipe book all we want, but such knowledge is useless unless they have the skills to handle a knife, fire, and a pot. Similarly, traveling also helps in personal development by pushing a person to adapt outside their comfort zone. Both of these aspects are also highly sought out by universities that prioritize students that can compliment their high school grades with something else.
However, for some students, spending a year after high school to work or travel can result in a general loss of motivation for continuing their education. As students graduate and decide to work for a year they can loose their habit of studying and become fixated on earning money. This can result in the opposite effect by inhibiting their personal/professional growth as they are not able to focus on their studies. Consequently, they fall behind and have to work low paying jobs. Because a university degree is a must in today's competitive job environment, not being able to obtain it can result in the students having a less successful life.
In conclusion, taking a personal year to work or travel can both be a benefit and a detriment to a student's life and very young person must weigh both the advantages and the disadvantages before making their decision.
The bar chart shows the percentage of money spent on different activities by people of different age groups in the UK in 2004.
People of the under 30 age group spent most of their money (almost 15%) on restaurants and hotels while food and entertainment took about (13%) of their total expenditures. People in the second age group (31-45) spent about 25% of their money on food and hotels.
Residents in the age group 46-60 spend their money almost equally on food, entertainment, and restaurants/hotels. The age group 61-75 spends almost all of their money on food and entertainment. Only about 2% of the money is spent on restaurants and hotels. The last age group (76+) holds their food and drinks very dear and they spent the most money to eat and drink.
The under-30 age group spent most of their money on restaurants and hotels but the 61-75 age group spent the least of their money on this activity. Moreover, the under-30 age group spent less money on average on every activity as compared to other age groups except on hotels as the 61-75 age group spent only (2%) of their expense on hotels.
TASK : 2
In some countries, people encourage their young ones to travel or work for a year before starting their university studies and finishing their school. I support this statement as young people who have completed their schooling will tend to know less about this world and asking them to travel to a different country, will let them know the reality about the world.
Firstly, children doing their schooling are enclosed in a school environment where they do not have much scope to explore the outside world, as a result, they don't know much about it. In order to give them, real exposure about the true world where anything is not an easy task to achieve, parents should encourage their children to work or to go for a tour to different countries or regions where traditions and rules are quite different from the school they have been. It is a wonderful gift to the young people who are interested in travelling and to the ones who want to know about work culture.
Secondly, it gives them a good opportunity to enjoy their life after finishing their school which is filled with nothing except boredom. The gap between completing schooling and starting further studies is the best time for any child to enjoy as much as they can due to the fact that after university studies, one should take up a job or do something in order to feed their parents and to look after them where there would be no time for fun and joy.
To conclude, parents should always encourage children after their schooling to work or to take a tour to various places where they gain knowledge about different aspects of life and it also improves decision making skills in them.
The bar chart illustrates the amount of money spent on three categories namely Food and drink, Restaurant and Hotel, and Entertainment by different age groups of people in the United Kingdom in the year 2004.
Overall, people in Britain spend more money on Entertainment, Food and drinks. Though they spend money on Restaurants and Hotels in their early age, it is gradually decreasing with their age.
Firstly, considering age groups under 30 to 60 where people aged under 30 spend their money mostly on going to restaurants which is around 15% of their expenditure whereas people of age 31-45, spend more on foodstuff and hotels which occupies around 10-15% of their expenditure and they tend to spend less on entertainment while residents of age group 46-60 spend a lot of money on Food and drinks which is in between 15-20% when compared to remaining two categories.
Secondly, old people of age groups 61-75 and 76+ age spend most of their food and entertainment by giving least preference to use their pounds on Hotels. They spend around 20% on drinks and food items and from 10 to 25% of their pounds on entertainment.
