Britain has recent by been described as a “leisure society.” This is because there are a great variety of leisure pursuits. Young people generally go out on Friday or Saturday nights to a disco, to a concert or to a pub. In recent years going out for a meal or getting a take-away meal have become popular too. During the past years there is a great increase in keeping fit and staying healthy. A lot of teens started running, jogging and going to different fitness clubs in their spare time. Aerobics classes and fitness clubs opened in every town, and the number of recreation centres greatly increased. Indoor pools, with their wave-making machines, water slides and tropical vegetation, have became very popular.
The same is true in Russia. A lot of teens go in for different kinds of sport. Sport helps them to feel as fit as a fiddle. In both countries there are special programmes for problem teenagers, such as a high-risk activities, for example they are taught to jump out of aeroplanes. But despite the increase in the number of teens participating in sport, the majority of young people still prefer to be spectators. They prefer to be couch potatoes. Watching sports on TV is a popular leisure activity, as is going to football matches on Saturday. Cinemas have been redesigned with four or more screens, each showing a different film at the same time, and a lot of teens like going to the cinemas too.
The young generation is fond of communication. There are many available methods of communication nowadays, and the most popular one is computers. A lot of teenagers spend plenty of time working on computers. The Internet seems really good fun. You may send e-mails to friends from different countries and get their answers instantly. You even may talk to them. It is easy and quick. A lot of teenagers have mobile telephones, so they can always be contacted, if they keep their telephone switched on, at any time of the day or night, or tend text messages.
Новый год - это время для твердил намерений. По крайней мере, в голове многие из нас составляют списки того, что нужно сделать и не следует. Мы принимаем решение вставать рано по утрам, кушать меньше, находить больше времени для игр с детьми, сделать тысячу и одну работу по дому, быть добрыми с людьми, которые нам не нравятся, водить машину осторожно и гулять каждый день с собакой. Для большинства из нас усилия по совершенствованию заканчивается неудачей, потому что наши планы являются слишком амбициозными и мы никогда не находим времени для их воплощения. Мы также совершаем большую ошибку, сообщаю каждому о наших решениях, в результате мы выглядел ещё глупее, когда возвращаемся к нашим старым привычкам. Будучи осведомленной об этих недостатках я решила оставить мои решения в тайне в этом году и ограничиться 2 скромными желаниями: делать упражнения каждое утро и читать больше по вечерам. У меня получалось делать упражнения два дня пока кто-то не обнаружил это. После того как я попрыгала на ковре и скручивала тело в нечеловеческое положение я села завтракать за стол в изнеможденном состоянии. Именно это меня и выдало. На следующее утро вся семья собралась посмотреть на это представление. После всех их шуток, которые я игнорировала мой энтузиазм иссяк. Постепенно те одиннадцать минут, в которые я делала упражнения изначально, скатились до нуля. К 10 января я вернулась к тому, с чего начала.
