This question was phrased by the source as follows: "On these cards you can see a number of different internet activities, things one can do in the internet. Please organize the cards on this sheet depending on how often you engage in these activities on the internet: playing online and browser games."

Bitte verteilen Sie die Karten entsprechend auf das Blatt, je nachdem, wie häufig Sie das im Internet machen: Teilnahme an Online-Spielen, Browserspiele spielen.")
