Carol Kendall, from the Daily News,
has written this report after having questioned 100 teenagers about their
leisure activities to know what young people in Britain
In Britain
Among the non-sporting activities, all adolescents said that they loved
watching T.V. When I asked them which programmes they preferred best, most of
them replied they enjoyed listening to music.
When asked if they used the internet, many of them answered that they
spent a lot of time chatting with friends, playing video games and watching
videos. Some of them said they liked going to concert or the theatre, and
others told me they enjoyed eating in a fast-food restaurant. I, then ,wanted
to know if they liked reading and only a few of them replied they did.
As to the sporting activities, boys are more sporty than girls. O f
course, football is the most popular sport among boys. Both boys and girls said
they did a lot of cycling. Forty two boys and thirty six girls said they liked
going to the swimming pool. When I asked them what other sports they practised,
they replied tennis and basket-ball. Only 6o/o of the boys added that they
practised boxing. None of the girls is interested in that sport which they find
too violent.
