Last month we asked our students their free time activities. Our questions were about exercise, use of the Internet and watching TV. Here the results.
We found that only fifteen percent of our students exercise . Forty-five percent exercise four to six times a week .Twenty percent exercise only one to three times a week .And twenty percent do not exercise .
We all know that many students often , but we were that ninety percent of them use the Internet every day. ten percent use it at least three or four times a week.
students use it for fun and not for homework..
The answers our questions about television were also interesting. Only two percent of the students watch TV one to three times a week .Thirteen percent watch TV four to six times a week. And eighty—five percent watch TV every day! many students like to watch sports, game shows are the most popular.
