Nhóm theo mức độ khác biệt: nhóm nam trội (Screen time, Physical activity) — nhóm nữ trội (Reading, Socialising) — nhóm giống nhau (Creative hobbies)
Vì 2 pie là 2 nhóm đồng thời (không phải theo thời gian), KHÔNG dùng cấu trúc "rose from X to Y" — phải dùng "accounted for X%, compared with Y% for..."
Mỗi câu phải nêu tên CẢ 2 nhóm (nam và nữ) khi so sánh cùng 1 hoạt động, không chỉ nêu 1 bên
Không dùng động từ suy đoán sở thích ("prefer", "like") — Task 1 chỉ mô tả tỷ lệ, không suy đoán thái độ

The two pie charts illustrate how men and women in Country I divided their leisure time among five categories in 2023.
Overall, the clearest differences between the sexes were in screen time and reading, with men devoting far more time to screens and women considerably more to reading, whereas the two groups spent a broadly similar proportion of their leisure time on creative hobbies.
Screen time accounted for the largest share of men's leisure time, at forty-two percent, considerably higher than the twenty-eight percent recorded for women. Physical activity showed a similar pattern, making up twenty-eight percent of men's leisure time compared with just sixteen percent for women.
By contrast, reading was far more prominent among women, accounting for twenty-eight percent of their leisure time against just ten percent for men, while socialising followed a similar pattern, making up twenty percent of women's leisure time compared with twelve percent for men. Creative hobbies were the only category in which the two groups were closely matched, at eight percent each.
