The chart below shows the percentage of time adults spending in  different leisure activities in a particular country in 1998 and 2010.

The charts compare the percentage of time adults spend in six areas  including shopping, cooking, eating, developing hobbies, reading and  socializing between 1998 and 2010.

Generally speaking, the overall trends were quite similar from 1998 and  2010, to be more accurate, more than 20% of their spare time had been used  for building social connections, followed by developing their hobbies,  reading and shopping as well. On the contrary, people spent limited time on  cooking and eating, the percentage of which was less than 10 in 1998 and even  5 in 2010.

However, slight differences can also be observed. To be specific, the  time spent on shopping, and developing hobbies had increased obviously, from  10% to 15% and from 15% to 20% respectively during that period of time.  Meanwhile, a subtle increase can be seen regarding socializing. In addition  to this, the percentage of time used for reading maintained steady. By  contrast, compared with 1998, people spent less time on cooking and eating  due to the change of lifestyle in that country.
