IV. Read the text carefully, then do the tasks.

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 at home, where the most popular leisure activity is watching television, with 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 it is often replaced by ‘do-it-yourself’ in winter 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.
