Summer Holidays

4.2

On the first day of school in September there is much talk about the school holidays. All pupils ask each other "Where did you go for your holidays?” or “Where did you spend your holidays?”

The answers are very different. You may hear, “We spent the summer in the country” or “I spent my holidays at the sea”. Other boys and girls describe how they went swimming in the river every day, and all your friends are ready to talk about their wonderful holidays time and again.

Life at a camp is another story which is always interesting to hear. When you come back from camp, you can tell not only about what you did there but about your new friends too. Almost every boy or girl has a new friend from another school, sometimes from another town.

Some pupils stay at home during the school holidays. But they always say that the holidays are going too quickly, they have little time for all the things they want to do.

At the end of August, after the holidays all boys and girls like going back to school. When they go there, their teachers ask them many questions and say, “You are very big now!”
