or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 16 to 20.
The generation gap that was so in evidence during the 60s has resurfaced, but a 2009 study showed that
it was not the disruptive force. The Pew Research Center study found that 79% of Americans see major
differences between younger and older adults in the way they look at the world. In 1969, a Gallup Poll found
that a smaller percentage, 74%, perceived major differences.
FRIENDS GLOBAL 11 FIRST TERM
Today, however, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not see them as
divisive. That is partly because of the areas of difference. The top areas of disagreement between young and
old people, according to the Pew Research Study, are the use of technology and taste in music. Grandparents
are likely to have observed these differences in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young adults.
If large differences between the generations exist, why don't they spawn conflict? The answer is twofold.
First, the two largest areas of difference - technology and music - are less emotionally charged than political
issues. The older generation is likely to be proud of the younger generation's prowess in technology rather than
to view it as a problem. As for the musical differences, each generation wants its own style of music, and the
older generation generally can relate to that desire. Second, in the other areas of difference, the younger
generation tends to regard the older generation as superior to their own generation - clearly a difference from
the 1960s with its rallying cry of "Don't trust anyone over thirty!". According to the Pew study, all generations
regard older Americans as superior in moral values, work ethics and respect for others.

“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, goes an English saying. Recreation and entertainment are
important to people anywhere in the world. However, forms of popular entertainment are different in different
countries.
Britain, the most common leisure activities are home based. Watching television is by far the most
popular pastime, and nearly all households have a television set. Over 51 per cent of households have two or
more television sets and average viewing time for the population aged four and over is 25 hours a week. Other
pursuits include listening to music, reading, do-it-yourself home improvements, and gardening.
FRIENDS GLOBAL 11 FIRST TERM
British people are also very interested in watching and taking part in sports. Walking and swimming are
the two most popular sporting activities, being almost equally undertaken by men and women. Snooker, pool
and darts are the next most popular sports among men. The most popular spectator sports are football and
rugby in w inter, and cricket and athletics in summer.
In the last few years in Britain, a new trend has been developing, i.e., taking weekend or holiday courses.
There is an enormous range of courses on offer. The course can be as simple as bricklaying or as sophisticated
as making your own stock market decisions. For people who are interested in arts, there are courses in painting
or drawing. People who like music can take a course in karaoke singing. Courses like shoemaking or glass
engraving provide people with practical skills they can do with their hands. Those who want to improve their
minds can take a course of “Living with more meaning”. Entry qualifications to weekend courses are generous,
that is, generally no qualifications are necessary, apart from an ability to pay the fees, which may be quite high.
