Question

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 hamburger every three months, but 46% have fish and chips!

Sports

British people don't do a lot of sports. Only 17% of people go swimming every week, about 9% go cycling and 8% play golf — and only 6% of people play football (but 32% go to watch it).

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, women watch TV for about three hours every day.

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!
