Task3:  How Americans Use Their Time

Script 1

If you want to know what Americans do when they are not working, well, the average adult spends almost two hours a day on household activities like cooking, cleaning and paying bills. How do we know? The Department of Labor 2 has just released 3 a study of how Americans use their time.

The study confirmed 4 something that many people already knew. Women spend more time on child care and housework than men do, even when the women are employed. Men, however, spend more time at work. Men also spend more time on leisure 5 activities and sports. They average five hours and twenty minutes a day, half an hour more than women.

Leisure activities include things like watching television, visiting friends or exercising. Both men and women reported that they spent about half their leisure time watching television. Visiting friends and attending social events was the next most common leisure activity for both sexes.

Older Americans spent more of their leisure time watching TV and reading than younger people did. Younger people reported spending more time with friends, using the computer and playing sports. In all, 19 percent of men and 16 percent of women play sports on any given day..
