Read it and fill in each blank with the correct figure from the report. In this digital age, many people think that young adults spend all their time on the computer. And a new government survey of how young adults spend their leisure time says that 87 percent of people in the UK between the ages of 13 to 19 use the Internet every day. But it’s still important for young people to go out with friends. And the most popular evening out is going to the cinema: 42 percent say it’s their favourite way to spend an evening. For people who don’t go out, not surprisingly, television is more popular than radio. 82 percent say that they watch television for more than ten hours a week – mainly for films and news programmes – but only 23 percent listen to the radio. Music is always a favourite topic, but it seems that many people listen to music than can play a music instrument. The survey reveals that 38 percent watch live music, but 30 percent of people between 13 and 19 can play a musical instrument. Only 32 percent of young adults play sports; with football, swimming, and cycling the most popular activities. But that means that more than two-thirds don’t play any sport! 8 Bài tập tiếng anh 8 thí điểm – Lưu Hoằng Trí Leisure Time Survey of Teenagers In The UK  (1)_________ percent of teenagers use the Internet every day.  The most popular leisure activity is going to the cinema: (2)_________ percent say it is their favourite evening activity.  (3)__________ percent of people say that they watch TV for more than (4) _________ hours a week, but only (5)_________ percent listen to the radio.  (6)__________ percent of young people watch live music, but only (7)_______ percent can play a musical instrument.  Only (8)__________ percent of young adults play sports.
