Post by minhtrum »

Q: The table below gives information about the participation of 11-14 year-olds by gender in extreme sports in the UK in 2003.

The table demonstrates the proportion of male and female from 11 to 14 years old taking part in extreme sports in the UK in 2003. In general, more men participate in this kind of activity in comparison with women, except for rollerblading.

With 26.6% of the total participate in, rollerblading came in the first place of the 5 types of extreme sports. It experienced 10% more female than male, 31.7% compared to 21.7%.

In contrast, mountain biking, snowboarding, mountain climbing as well as skateboarding had more male participants. While 20, 8% in total skateboarded, 18.1% did mountain biking. However, both had a far greater proportion of men than women involved in. One tenth of 11 – 14 year olds climbed mountain, with 10.6% and 9.3% of male and female respectively. Snowboarding was the least popular activity overall, which only had 6.1% in average took part in. More than twice as many woman as men did this sport in 2003, 8.1% for men and 4% for women.

With 26.6% of the total participate in, rollerblading came in the first place of the 5 types of extreme sports. (<-- Reword to: Of the five types of extreme sports, rollerblading was the most popular with 26.6% of boys and girls participating. It experienced 10% more female than male, 31.7% compared to 21.7%. (<-- Reword to: It also had the highest number of female participants at 31.7%, 10% higher than male participation.)

In contrast, mountain biking, snowboarding, mountain climbing as well as skateboarding had more male participants. While 20, 8% in total skateboarded, 18.1% did mountain biking. (<-- Reword to: A total of 20.8% of people skateboarded while 18.1% took part in mountain biking.) However, both had a far greater proportion of boys than girls involved. One tenth of 11 – 14 year olds participated in mountain climbing, with 10.6% and 9.3% males and females respectively.

I like that you keep things simple. Don't forget to include a conclusion to summarize the table. For example, 'So, although more boys than girls tended to play extreme sports in the UK in 2003, the proportion of people participating in the most popular sport of rollerblading was overwhelmingly female.'
