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 or use the Internet, not surprisingly, television is more popular than radio. 82 percent of people say that they watch television for more than ten hours a week – mainly for films and news programmes.

Only 23 percent of them 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 do physical activities. Playing football, swimming, and cycling are among the most popular activities. It means that more than two-thirds don’t play any sport!

* Audio Script:

Once upon a time, there was a king and a queen who lived in a castle with their beautiful daughter. One night an ugly ogre captured the princess and put her in his tall, dark tower. The king and the queen were very sad. They promised to give gold to the knight that rescued the princess. Many knights wanted to rescue her. But they all ran away when they reached the tower and saw the ogre roaring with anger. One day a dragon was flying over the tower when he heard the princess cry for help. The dragon flew down to the tower, took a big fiery breath and blew the ogre far away. The dragon rescued the princess from the tower and gently put her on his strong back. They flew back to the castle. The king and the queen were so happy. The dragon turned into a handsome prince and married the princess. They all lived happily ever after.
