and 10% on other activities. Other popular leisure activities are listening to the radio, listening to pre-
recorded music, reading, DIY, garedning, eating out and going to the cinema.

The most common leisure activity in the UK is watching television. The average viewing time is 25
hours per person per week. Almost all households have at least one television set. The second most
popular activity in Britain is visiting or entertaining friends or relations. Another popular leisure activity is
gardening. The British are known as a nation of gardeners. Most people have a garden on their property.

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

Ex 4. Read the passage and choose the best answer.

The most interesting hobby that I have is playing the guitar. I have played guitar for three and a half years
now and I am getting better at it every time I decide to play. Playing guitar keeps me doing something
interesting at home instead of staring at the ceiling all the time. Actually, it is a very relaxing activity. It gives
person some time to think and dream.

Guitar or guitars also give my room some personality. When it hangs on my wall it seems like a piece of art.
I have two guitars - one is black acoustic one and the second is a yellow Spanish guitar. The last one was my
first guitar and both of them are Yamaha products. I bought the classical one because it was required to
learn guitar in my school. Since I am interested in blues, jazz and rock music I felt that I needed a change in
my guitar play and that is why I bought the black acoustic one.

I can play many different songs and after 3 years of experience I have learned how to learn the songs to
play them. My favorite songs that I have learned are Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven and Leonard
Cohen’s Hallelujah. I can also play a bit Sting, Nirvana, Metallica and the Animals.

In the future I want to improve my guitar playing skills and maybe use them in some small band or I would
just like to play with my friends. I would certainly recommend learning guitar. If interest in it comes, it
cannot be put away.
