Sample Answer 38 
The table gives information about the average hours spent on the Internet                               
by European people of different age groups 
 
The table shows the median number of weekly hours various age groups in Europe 
spend on the internet. 
The most striking point to note is that Internet usage is at its highest for those aged 
between 16 and 20, with the figure for males being 19 hours and females just one 
hour less. These figures represent an increase of treble the previous age category for 
women and over two times more for males. 
From 21 onwards, the hours spent reduced dramatically. By the ages of 26 to 30, 
males and females spend the same amount of time online with 4 hours each, after 
which females reportedly spend slightly longer online than males for the remaining 
two categories, falling to only 3 hours for men and 4 hours for women for those aged 
51 or older. 
Overall, it can be seen that the highest period of internet usage for both male and 
female was the age range of 16 to 20.
