Free-time survey.

This survey was held in several towns of the UK among young people from 16 to 36. They were divided into three age groups. About 1780 people took part in it and they were only allowed to choose one answer to the question "What do you prefer doing in your free time". The results are given in percentage in the chart below.

The numbers turned out to be somewhat surprising. We found that the older people get, the more they are fond of sporting activities. Thus, there are twice as many fitness fans in the third age group compared to the first one. The amount of people who like eating out was the same for all three groups. As people get older, they spend more time in front of their TVs — the number of those addicts increases by five percent from group to group. Going out in the second group seems to be only six per cent more popular than watching TV.

The complete information on this survey will be published in the next issue.

Teacher's notes.

All the students have passed the test. The Italian student seems to be the weakest, although her grammar results were the highest in the group. However, her reading was not that good — she got ten points less than Kimiko. This Japanese student was the best one, if we compare the totals. Carmen from Spain got 16 points for both grammar and reading, ant it was exactly the same as the French student's results for grammar and writing. Moreover, Kimiko and Julie scored the same points for reading. On the whole, I'm quite satisfied with their tests.
