How The World Spends Its Free Time

People from Canada spend, on average, 43.5 hours per week online, 8 hours longer than the
next highest, the USA. One reason: Canada has long, cold winters so people spend lots of time
indoors.

Football is king. In second place, surprisingly, is cricket. Only a few nations play the game
seriously, but it’s very popular in India, which has 1.2 billion people.
 Outdoors
New Zealanders spend the most time outdoors. The countryside is perfect for hiking, mountain
climbing, and water sports. If you live in New Zealand, you’re never more than two hours’
drive from the sea. And then there is rugby, too…
 Bars
Spain has six bars per 1,000 inhabitants, easily the highest number. In Spain, a bar is for
families, not just drinkers. It’s a meeting place and often an eating place (try the tapas!).

explains the lesson to the students in the classroom, and the students study homework outside
class, where they have to work on their own, and can’t ask anyone for help. So, in a flipped
classroom, children can watch a video of their teacher giving a lecture on the subject at home.

do the more traditional exercises, but they can ask their teacher or their classmates for help if

Starting Young
A child learning music with the Suzuki method has to start as young as possible. Even two-year-
old children can learn to play difficult pieces of classical music, often on the violin. They do this
by watching and listening. They learn by copying, just like they learn their mother tongue. The
child has to join in, but doesn’t have to get in right. ‘They soon learn that they mustn’t stop every
time they make a mistake. They just carry on,’ said one Suzuki trainer. The children have to
practise for hours every day and they give performances once a week, so they learn quickly. ‘The
parents must be involved too,’ said the trainer, ‘or it just doesn’t work.’
7. How old is a child when he can learn a piece of classical music?
