About this question
This is a free practice question from the Leisure topic in the Modern UK Society chapter. Leisure questions look at how people in the UK spend their free time — television and radio, cinema, music, pubs and clubs, gardening, holidays and social life. Much of it is recognisable from daily life, so read each option carefully rather than guessing.
