KIDS WATCH MORE TV

A study into children's television (0) VIEWING (VIEW) habits reveals that children
whose parents have a high level of (1) EDUCATION (EDUCATE) tend to watch less
television than children from less educated family (2) BACKGROUNDS (BACK). The
report also suggests that a high rate of TV watching among children in poorer (3)

pastimes, which leads to far/MUCH (7) FEWER (FEW) hours WHICH ARE SPENT

adventure films are children's (9) FAVOURITE (FAVOUR) programmes, while twenty
