Question

    Months ago, the Chinese government allowed primary and high school students to have a spring or autumn break.

Now most Chinese students only have holidays in summer and winter. During the holidays, some students stay at home doing their homework. Others travel with their family. How do kids in the US and UK spend their holidays? Let’s take a look.

Summer holiday: mid-June — early September Christmas holiday: mid-December — early January. Thanksgiving holiday: one week in late November Spring break: usually a 10-day holiday in mid-March

Summer camp is one of kids’ favourite places to go. There, they can make new friends. They can also take part in some interesting activities like archery (射箭) and sailing. This helps them learn teamwork.

Spring break can be a great time to travel. Middle school students usually travel with their parents. Beaches are one of their favoutites.

Summer holiday: late July — September Christmas holiday: mid-December — early January. Easter holiday: late March — mid-April Autumn break: one week in October

British children like one-day trips during the summer holiday. They can visit museums, sports stadiums and castles.

Christmas holiday is usually time for family get-togethers. Many people like travelling in Easter.
