Write at least 150 words.This table clearly presents and compares favorable pastimes in eight different countries. The pastimes, across the top of the table, are analyzed in relation to each country.As can be seen, about 60% of Canadians, Australians and Americans like watching television. On the other hand, this figure is quite low for China where only 15% of people watch television. Predictably, Americans like music at 23%, whereas only 2 to 5% of people in the other countries feel the same way. 20% of people inEngland enjoy sleeping as a pastime whereas in Canada and the USA, for example, the figure is only 2%. Interestingly, the Chinese like hobbies the most at 50%, as opposed to only 20% in France. It isn’t surprisi ng that the highest percentage of beach-lovers is in Australia and the USA at 30%.It seems that pastimes of people of different nationalities may be influenced by a number of factors such as the socio-economic situation or the climate. These factors influence cultural differences between different nationalities and make cross-cultural experiences more interesting.类别对比型(category-comparison)的写法与表达方式这种类型的考题首先要分类(category)，然后对比(comparison)。
对比不同类别之间的相同点与不同点，或者最高值与最低值，并根据数据对比的结果总结所要描述的内容。
以表格题(table)为例：IELTS Scores for Students with Different Language Background这个考题可以分为雅思考试的听说读写，对比各个科目的最高点与最低点，可以发现：在四类考生中，Hindi考生在听、写、读三方面成绩最佳，而Spanish考生在读方面成绩最佳，但在听与写却是最低。
同时，Russian与Malayalam考生阅读成绩一样，而且都是最低，Malayalam考生说的成绩最差。
如果总体对比听说读写四类，会发现四种考生的说的成绩都是最高的。
进过分析，写作的思路就非常清楚了。
From an overall perspective, Hindi speakers achieved the highest grades with an average score of 6.73 across all four sections. Malayalam speakers’ scores took the second place, at 6.43, closely followed by Spanish and Russian speakers, at 6.41 and 6.38. (Note：任何题目中出现总量(total)或平均数(average),其写法都是进行排序。
