Task 10
Watching television is the most popular leisure-time activity in Britain. Peak viewing time is between 7:30 and 10 O’clock in the evenings.
The two age groups which watch television most are children between 5 and 14 and people over 50. children aged 5 to 14 watch television on average for 23 hours a week. The over-fifties watch on average for 17 hours a week.
Television is divided between BBC1, BBC2 and the commercial station, ITV. There is no great difference between BBC1 and ITV, but programs on BBC2 tend to be of a more intellectual or cultural nature.
Programs before 9 pm are also suitable for children, so programs with scenes of violence or sex are usually shown after this time. Most viewers in Britain switch off the television after about 10:30 and go to bed. Those who want to stay up can often watch a film or a “a chat show”，an interview with a famous personality until 1 am.
However , the most popular programs of all are the news bulletins.
