Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the following questions from 16 to 20.
“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, goes an English saying. Recreation and entertainment are
important to people anywhere in the world. However, forms of popular entertainment are different in different
countries.
Britain, the most common leisure activities are home based. Watching television is by far the most popular
pastime, and nearly all households have a television set. Over 51 per cent of households have two or more television
sets and average viewing time for the population aged four and over is 25 hours a week. Other pursuits include
listening to music, reading, do-it-yourself home improvements, and gardening.
British people are also very interested in watching and taking part in sports. Walking and swimming are the
two most popular sporting activities, being almost equally undertaken by men and women. Snooker, pool and darts
are the next most popular sports among men. The most popular spectator sports are football and rugby in w inter,
and cricket and athletics in summer.
In the last few years in Britain, a new trend has been developing, i.e., taking weekend or holiday courses.
There is an enormous range of courses on offer. The course can be as simple as bricklaying or as sophisticated as
making your own stock market decisions. For people who are interested in arts, there are courses in painting or
drawing. People who like music can take a course in karaoke singing. Courses like shoemaking or glass engraving
provide people with practical skills they can do with their hands. Those who want to improve their minds can take a
course of “Living with more meaning”. Entry qualifications to weekend courses are generous, that is, generally no
qualifications are necessary, apart from an ability to pay the fees, which may be quite high.
