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 in the home, where the most popular leisure activity is watching
television, the average viewing time being 25 hours per week. Reading is also a favourite way of
spending leisure time. The British spend a lot of time reading newspapers and magazines. In the
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 includefootball, 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 alocal
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.

1. Many British people use their free time to help people in need.
