The final exam comes with July. When exam ends, the summer vacation begins. Boys and girls have about two months to relax. The summer vacation is the best time of the year for most children. The weather is usually fine. They can swim, go to summer camp or visit other places with their parents.
The best place for a summer vacation is the seaside (海边). Some children are lucky enough to live near the sea, but for the others, a week or two at one of the big seaside towns is something they will talk about for the whole of the following year.
In England, most of the people can take their children to the seaside. If a factory worker or a bus driver, a street cleaner or a waiter wants to take his wife and children to Southend or Margate, Blackpool or Clacton, he is usually quite able to do so.
Why do children like spending their summer vacation on beaches? It is because they like the sand, the sun, the cool wind and the sea water. There are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat and exciting things to do.
