don't. They don't usually go out with friends in the evening, and they don't go out to dinner or go
shopping. So what do they do? Well, about 90% of Americans stay at home in the evening to relax. In
fact, it's their favorite activity. They read, watch TV, and spend time with their families.

So what about young people? Well, they spend a lot of time at home too. American high school students
study about six hours a week and watch TV for about 15 hours a week.

Most Americans also have a hobby and do fun, interesting things like play sports or music. Americans

I live with my parents and my two brothers. They say I hardly ever spend time with them. My parents say
I spend too much time on my phone and in front of my computer, but I don't think that's true. I mean, I
often get up early and check my messages, but we always eat breakfast together. I guess I sometimes
text during breakfast, but I never call people then. After class, I listen to music on my phone, but I also do
my homework. In the evening, I often log on to my social network to chat with friends. They're always
online. Sometimes I watch a movie on my computer. I usually spend eight or nine hours online every day.
I don't think it's a problem. What do you think?

likes to shop online.

I never shop on the Internet because I like to pay cash. I don't have a credit card, and I don't want to get
one. Also, I don't like to spend a lot of time online. I guess I'm not a big fan of shopping.

Matt Carson

I work long hours – from 9:00 in the morning to 9:00 or 10:00 at night. A lot of stores close at 9:00. But
the Internet never closes. I mean, I often shop at 1:00 in the morning. And the prices online are usually
really cheap.

Kevin Parker

There isn't a shopping center near my house. I have to drive an hour to the mall. Online shopping is very
convenient. I buy movies, books, clothes, and food online. I never need to go out to a store.

lunch and look at the clothes together. When you shop online, you don't spend time with friends. You're
alone.
