D. READING
I)-A new report into teenagers’ leisure time has some 
surprising results. Read it and fill in each blank with the 
correct figure from the report.
In this digital age, many people think that young adults spend all their time on
the computer. And a new government survey of how young adults spend their leisure
time says that 87 percent of people in the UK between the ages of 13 to 19 use the
Internet every day. But it’s still important for young people to go out with friends. And
the most popular evening out is going to the cinema: 42 percent say it’s their favourite
way to spend an evening.
For people who don’t go out, not surprisingly, television is more popular than
radio. 82 percent say that they watch television for more than ten hours a week –
mainly for films and news programmes – but only 23 percent listen to the radio.
Music is always a favourite topic, but it seems that many people listen to music
than can play a music instrument. The survey reveals that 38 percent watch live music,
but 30 percent of people between 13 and 19 can play a musical instrument.
Only 32 percent of young adults play sports; with football, swimming, and cycling
the most popular activities. But that means that more than two-thirds don’t play any
sport!
