Nearly eighty percent of British children have a TV in their bedroom. Most children can read a magazine, use the Internet and watch TV at the same time - it's called "multi - tasking".
Most British homes now have computers and twenty - three percent of children have a computer in their bedrooms. The most popular activity is "social networking". Teenagers also use the Internet for their homework.
Of course, kids in British aren't always in front of a screen and they don't always go straight home - many of them do after - school activities like sports or art and music classes. It's great that teens do active things, too and don't spend all their time in front of the TV or computer!
