Part VII Writing（30 minutes，20 points）
［参考范文］
The chart shows the number of hours of leisure enjoyed by men and women in a typical week in 1998－99，according to gender and employment status．
Among those empoyed full-time，men on average had forty-seven hours of leisure， whereas women had approximately thirty-seven hours．There were no figures given for male part-time workers，but female part-timers had thirty-nine hours of leisure time，only slightly more than women in full-time employment，perhaps reflecting their work in the home．
In the unemployed and retired categories，leisure time showed an increase for both sexes，as might have been expected．Here too，men enjoyed more leisure time—over eighty hours，com pared with less than seventy hours for women，perhaps once again reflecting the fact women spend more time working in the home than men．
Lastly，housewives enjoyed approximately fifty-four hours of leisure，on average．There were no figures given for househusbands！Overall，the chart demonstrates that in the categories for which statistics on male leisure time were available，men enjoyed at least ten hours of extra leisure time．
