Sample Answer:
The provided bar graphs provide data on two television programme viewers by gender of different age groups in Australia.
As is observed from the first graph, more women watch reality TV programmes than men do. About 35% of males watch these types of TV programmes while women viewers for these sorts of TV programs are almost double. The percentages of viewers for reality TV shows among people over 45 years old are highest (about 70%). The lower the age among viewers, the fewer percentages they comprise to watch these types of programmes.
More men watch game shows than women but the difference is very low. While just over 60% of men watch sports shows, just below 60%women watch game shows. These sorts of TV programs are more popular among over 45 years old people. 50% of 16-24 years age group watch these programs while around 70% of over 45 years old people watch these programs. The other two age groups have around 40% viewers of game shows.
