The diagram below shows the average hours of unpaid work per week done

by people in different categories. (Unpaid work refers to such activities as

childcare in the home, housework and gardening.)
Describe the information presented below, comparing results for men and
women in the categories shown. Suggest reasons for what you see.

model answer:
The diagram
reveals (menyatakan) that
the number of hours per
week spent (spend) in
unpaid (belum dibayar)
work is unequally (dengan
bervariasi) distributed
between men and women.
In households
(rumah tangga) where
there are no children, women are reported to work some 3 hours per week in such
tasks as housework and gardening. !en"s contribution to these unpaid #obs
averages (pukulan rata) a considerably (dengan sangat) lower $% hours
&hen children enter the household, however, the inequality (ketidaksamaan)
becomes even more pronounced (melafalkan). In families of $ ' ( children, men
maintain appro)imately (kira() the same number of hours of unpaid work as in
childless households, but the number of hours women work in the home rises to *(
per week, much of it, on doubt (ragu'ragu), due (hak) to childcare responsibilities.
Interestingly, when there are three or more children in the household, men
are found to work even fewer (lebih sedikit) hours around the house than before
the appearance (yang kelihatannya) of the third child. &hereas women"s unpaid
hours rise to appro)imately *+ per week, the corresponding figure for men, $+,
actually represents a decrease.
The data suggest that the increased presence of women in the paid work
force has yet to lead to an increased role for men in the home.

model answer:
/ifferences in sleep patterns appear to reflect differences in individuals"
occupations (peker#aan). 0 1anadian study has pointed out, for e)ample, that
students typically sleep for a consecutive %'hour period each night, from $$ p.m. to
, a.m. This may be because the central activity in their lives, study, takes place in
normal daylight hours. 2imilarly, business e)ecutives sleep consecutive hours, but
perhaps (berangkali) because their #obs are especially (terutama) busy and stressful
they sleep for + hours on average (pukul rata), getting up around * a.m..
3y contrast, truck drivers, probably because of their need to keep their
trucks on the road over long periods, tend to sleep in two 3'hour blocks4 one
between , and $ a.m. and another from . to , p.m. 0nother occupation associated
with broken sleep schedules is that of doctors. They tend (merawat, care) to retire
(memberhentikan) to bed around $ a.m. and start their day at , a.m.., but may be
woken up to deal with emergencies in the middle (pertengahan) of the night.
5inally, full'time mothers, especially those with young children, tend (care) to
sleep when their babies do. Typically (secara khas), they will sleep from $ p.m.
and be awoken at $ a.m. to comfort their babies for a couple of hours. They then go
back to bed to wake at + a.m., but nap for two hours or so in the early afternoon.
Thus the influence on one"s sleep pattern (pola) is worthy (beneficial) of
consideration when choosing an occupation.

The chart shows the number of hours of leisure (waktu terluang) en#oyed by
men and women in a typical week in $--%'-, according to gender and employment
(peker#aan, #abatan) status.
0mong those employed full'time, men on average (pukul rata) had fifty hours of
leisure, whereas (mengingat) women had appro)imately (kira'kira) thirty'seven
hours. There were no figures given for male part'time workers, but female part'
timers had forty hours of leisure time, only slightly (sedikit) more than women in
full'time employment, perhaps (barangkali) reflecting their work in the home.
In the unemployed (para penganggur) and retired (memberhentikan) categories,
leisure time showed an increase for both (kedua) se)es, as might have been
e)pected (mengharapkan). 6ere too, men en#oyed more leisure time over eighty
hours, compared with seventy hours for women, perhaps once again reflecting the
fact that women spend more time working in the home than men.
7astly (akhirnya), housewives en#oyed appro)imately fifty'four hours of
leisure, on average. There were no figures given for househusbands8 9verall, the
chart demonstrates that in the categories for which statistics on male leisure time
were available, men en#oyed at least ten hours of e)tra leisure time.

The graphs compare the number of deaths caused by si) diseases in
2omeland in $-- with the amount (between) of research funding allocated to each
of those diseases (illness, penyakit). It can be clearly seen that the amount of
research funding in many cases (matters) did not correlate with the seriousness of
the disease in terms (terminologi) of numbers of deaths.
In $-- there were around .( million deaths from 0I/2, .$ million deaths
from leprosy, .3 million deaths from tropical diseases, .* million deaths from
diarrhoea, .. million deaths from malaria and $.% million deaths from T3. These
figures can be contrasted with the amount of funding allocated for each disease. In
$-- 0I/2 received $% million dollars in research funding, leprosy % million
dollars in research funding, tropical diseases ,- million dollars in research funding,
diarrhoea + million dollars in research funding, malaria * million dollars and T3
( million dollars in research funding.
In conclusion it is clear that funding allocation for disease research in
2omeland is not wholly (totality. /engan keseluruhan) determined (establish,
menetapkan) by the number of deaths for which each disease is responsible in a
given year.

The pie charts compare the highest (paling tinggi) level of education
achieved (reach, mencapai) by women in 2omeland across two years, $-.* and
$--*. It can be clearly seen that women received (accept, appove, get, earn) a
much higher level of education in 2omeland in $--* than they did in $-.*.
In $-.* only 3: of women completed their secondary education and $:
went on to a first degree. ;o women had completed post'graduate studies. This
situation had changed radically by $--*. In $--*, -: of women in 2omeland had
completed secondary education and of those, half had graduated from an initial
degree and (: had gone on to postgraduate studies. 0t the other end of the scale
we can see that by $--* all girls were completing lower secondary, although $:
ended their schooling at this point. This is in stark contrast with $-.* when only
3: of girls completed primary school, 3*: had no schooling at all and 3*: only
completed the third grade.
In conclusion, we can see that in the * years from $-.* to $--* there have
been huge positive developments to the education levels of women in 2omeland.

The chart shows striking
(membentur) differences in
the level of computer and
Internet penetration in the
0rab world.
The <0= and >uwait are by far the most (sebagian terbesar) computeri?ed
countries, with 7ebanon a distant (far, #auh) third. The <0= has over $*
computers for every $ inhabitants, compared to >uwait"s $3 and 7ebanon"s
+. In contrast, countries such as =gypt, !orocco and 2yria have less than (
computers per $ inhabitants.
There are also great differences in Internet use and availability (terdapatnya).
The <0= has by far the highest proportion (section, compare) of users, with more
than one'third of its population using the Internet. >uwait and 7ebanon are second
and third again, with $ users per thousand in >uwait and % in 7ebanon. In some
countries the number using the Internet is negligible (tak berarti)4 2audi 0rabia has
less than ( users per thousand, and there are fewer (less) than * users per
thousand in 2yria.
9ne unusual (unbelievable, luar biasa) feature (keistimewaan) of the graph is
that Internet use does not seem to be directly (secara langsung) related
(berhubungan) to the number of computers. In several countries (the <0=,
7ebanon, @ordan and 9man), there are more Internet users per thousand people
than computers. 6owever, in other countries, such as >uwait, 2audi 0rabia and
2yria, the number of Internet users is lower than the number of computers.
In summary, there are ma#or (utama) differences between computer use and
Internet use in the 0rab world, but the <0= clearly leads the area in both number
of computers and number of internet users per capita.

The graph shows weekly e)penditure (peengeluaran) on fast food
in 3ritain by food and income group. There are two main trends. 5irst,
the e)penditure is directly (secara langsung) related (berhubungan) to
income. 2econdly, there are differences in the types of fast food eaten by
each group.
The amount of money spent on fast food is related to income.
Beople in the high'income group spent the most ' over %* pence per
person per week. Beople in the low'income group spent the least ' less
than half of what the high'income earners spent.
The type of fast food eaten also depends on the group. 6igh'
income earners spent 3 times more on hamburgers than people in the
low'income group. Bi??a was generally the least favorite food. 5ish and
chips was the most popular food with the low'income group but
consumption was fairly similar among all groups.

The pie charts show changes in 0merican spending patterns (pola) between
$-++ and $--+.
5ood and cars made up the two biggest items of e)penditure in both years.
Together they comprised over half of household spending. 5ood accounted for ..:
of spending in $-++, but this dropped by two thirds to $.: in $--+. 6owever, the
outlay on cars doubled, rising from (3: in $-++ to .*: in $--+.
9ther areas changed significantly (dengan mantap). 2pending on eating out
doubled, climbing from ,: to $.:. The proportion of salary (ga#i) spent on
computers increased dramatically, up from $: in $--+ to $: in $--+. 6owever,
as computer e)penditure (pengeluaran) rose, the percentage of outlay on books
plunged (loncatan) from +: to $:.
2ome areas remained (stay, tinggal) relatively unchanged. 0mericans spent
appro)imately (kira() the same amount of salary on petrol and furniture in both
years.
In conclusion, increased amounts spent on cars, computers, and eating out
were made up for by drops in e)penditure on food and books.
