People nowadays have a wide choice of leisure time activities. Some people enjoy quiet leisure time activities after a long hard day at work or school. Watching TV is certainly the most popular leisure time activity in Britain. The average person watches a few hours of it every day. The most popular programmes are soap operas, which follow the(often extraordinary) activities of fictitious people, and news programmes. Most British people watch the TV news at some point in the evening, perhaps whilst eating dinner or just before going to bed.
British people often find entertainment in collecting things. There are people in Britain who collect any kind of object you care to name. By far the most common thing to collect is stamps. Most people are happy to collect whatever stamps come their way, but others collect thematically, i.e. they collect certain kinds of stamps, e.g. stamps with pictures of animals on them or stamps that come from a certain country. I know people who collect matchboxes, dolls, and even the free gifts from fast food restaurants. Some people take collecting not so much as a hobby, but as an investment, which is reasonable since many collections are worth a lot of money.
Although many people prefer to watch sport on TV, playing sport has always been popular in Britain. You must have heard of some of the big British football clubs. Of course, few people get to play sport at a high level, but British people are often happy to play a sport "just for fun". Popular sports that British people enjoy playing include football, rugby, cricket, golf, tennis, badminton, and squash. Many people play sport to keep fit, but most British people do it "for the love of the game".
Another form. of entertainment in Britain is simply going out and socializing with friends. Contrary to popular belief, British people are very friendly and are usually quite happy to start up a conversation with a stranger. Socialising often involves going to a pub with friends, but there are many other alternatives. Cafes are becoming increasingly popular and British people also like to join clubs so that they can meet people who have similar interests. If you have an interest, you'll be sure to find a British person who shares it!
