26 Read the interview. Are the statements on page 78 true (T), false (F) or not stated (NS)?

Interviewer Could you tell us whether it is fashionable for teenagers in Britain to be active nowadays?

Guest I would say on the whole it is quite fashionable. Many athletes are famous celebrities, new technology (e.g. the Fitbit activity tracker) is constantly being introduced to encourage active lifestyles and a lot of fashions are based on sportswear.

Interviewer From what age can young people actively participate in social life?

Guest In general, children can participate in activities from 4 or 5 when primary school begins, but this is obviously in line with the parents' wishes. From the age of 11 when secondary school begins, children are more likely to become more independent and pursue their own desires.

Interviewer Do teenagers choose to belong to any society, club or voluntary group?

Guest Many teenagers choose to participate in sports and join societies, since when applying for university extra-curricular activities are taken into account as well as academic success. The Duke of Edinburgh Award is very popular and rewards participation in sports, societies and volunteering, culminating in various outdoor pursuits (usually orienteering and camping).

Interviewer In what way, would you say, does involvement in extra-curricular activities help young people to develop their personal capabilities?

Guest Many activities are a social experience, especially sports among teenage boys, which build teamwork and communication, as well as competitive spirit.

Interviewer What activities did you take up as a schoolboy? Are you involved in them now? Why?

Guest I took part in karate from a young age, which I found helped me to build personal discipline and fitness. I also played cricket and tennis a fair amount both at a local club and school, which were for enjoyment, social experience and fitness. I play both less regularly now but still enjoy them as a chance to relax during the university term.
