I. A new report into teenagers’ leisure time has some surprising results. 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 favorite 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 programmers – but only 23 percent listen to radio.
	Music is always a favorite topic, but it seems that many people listen to music than can play a musical 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 as the most popular activities. But that means that more than two-thirds don’t play any sport!

	In the 1970s, skateboarding suddenly became very popular. At first, skateboarders moved slowly on flat, smooth areas. Then they began to ride quickly. This is called ‘freestyle’ skateboarding. Soon they were skateboarding skillfully up ramps and doing tricks in the air. This is called ‘ramp’ skateboarding. Then they started skateboarding and doing tricks on the street. This was ‘street-style’ skateboarding – a combination of freestyle and ramp. For this, the skateboarders needed protective clothing such as knee and elbow pads and helmets. This allowed them to skateboard safely.
