THE 2ND T ER M E XAM OF E NGL I SH

Carol Kendall, from the Daily News, has written this report after having questioned 100 teenagers about their
.leisure activities to know what young people in Britain do in their leisure time
In Britain, young people have a lot of hobbies they practise in their free time. These activities are
.sporting and non-sporting activities
Among the non-sporting activities, all adolescents said that they loved watching T.V. When I asked
.them which programmes they preferred best, most of them replied they enjoyed listening to music
When asked if they used the internet, many of them answered that they spent a lot of time chatting
with friends, playing video games and watching videos. Some of them said they liked going to concert or the
theatre, and others told me they enjoyed eating in a fast-food restaurant. I, then, wanted to know if they liked
.reading and only a few of them replied they did
As to the sporting activities, boys are more sporty than girls. Of course, football is the most popular
sport among boys. Both boys and girls said they did a lot of cycling. Forty two boys and thirty six girls said
they liked going to the swimming pool. When I asked them what other sports they practised, they replied
tennis and basketball. Only 6o/o of the boys added that they practised boxing. None of the girls is interested in
.that sport which they find too violent
