question2

answer

In 1961 people in the UK mostly watched television or listened to the radio in their leisure time. On average they spent almost half of their free time on these activities. After that came other unspecified pastimes, which took up about an hour and a quarter a day.

People didn’t seem to socialise a great deal, as this accounted for only 35 minutes in a typical day. People ate out, went to the cinema or entertained themselves in other ways outside the home for an average of 28 minutes a day. Finally, people played sports or walked for an average of only 9 minutes a day.
