1. Life in Britain Today
Food
British people like good food, and more than half of them go to a restaurant
every month. Fast food is also very popular – 30% of all adults have a burger
every three months, but 46% have fish and chips!
Sport
British people don’t do a lot of sport. Only 17% of people go swimming every
week, 9% go cycling and 8% play golf – and only 6% of people play football (but
32% go to watch it).

3. Cinema and TV
Films are very popular in Britain, and about 60% of people between 15 and 24
go to the cinema every month. At home, men watch TV for about three hours
every day – half an hour more than women.
Holidays
British people love going on holiday, and have 56 million holidays every year.
Most of these holidays aren’t in the UK – 27% are in Spain, 10% are in the
USA, and 9% are in France. Maybe this is because the weather in Britain isn’t
very good!
