C - READING

Read the text then decide whether the following sentences are true (T) or false (F).

 The British spend their free time in different ways. People generally use it to relax,
but many people also do voluntary work, especially for charities.

A lot of free time is spent in the home, where the most popular leisure activity is
watching television, the average viewing time being 25 hours per week. Reading is
also a favorite way of spending leisure time. The British spend a lot of time reading
newspapers and magazines. In the summer gardening is popular, and in winter it is
often replaced by ‘do-it-yourself’, when people spend time improving or repairing
their homes.

Some leisure activities are mostly or entirely social. Inviting friends for a drink or a
meal at home is the most usual one. Sometimes people join friends for a drink in a
pub, or have dinner in a restaurant.

The extra time available at weekends means that some leisure activities, many of them
to do with sport, normally take place only then. Traditional spectator sports include
football, cricket, horse racing, motor racing and motorcycle racing. Popular forms of
exercise are swimming, tennis, ice skating or roller-skating, cycling, climbing, and
hill or country walking.

Families often have a ‘day out’ at the weekend, especially in summer, with a visit to a
local event such as a festival, fair or show. Young people especially go to clubs and
discos, while people of all ages go to the theatre, the cinema, art exhibitions and
concerts.
