Lesson32 Have a Nice Holiday!

Most British people take a two-week holiday in July or August, when theschools are closed, but shops, offices and factories do not usually closefor the holidays. If people can afford it, they go abroad, to sunny Italy,Spain or Greece.

In the States, the school summer holidays are longer than in Britain (nearlythree months in the States, six or seven weeks in Britain). Americanfamilies often go out of town to the country for the hot summer months. Manystay at work in the cities or visit their families at weekends.

When some people are on holiday, they like just sitting in the sun, butothers want a bit more. 'Special interest' holidays are very popular today.

Do you like riding? Why not see the Grand Canyon 1 in Arizona, USA, onhorseback?

What about a winter holiday? There are hundreds of ski resorts 3 in themountains of the USA, the Rockies, the Sierra Nevada and the Appalachians.

You can ski in Britain too.

Perhaps you prefer to be less energetic? Try a painting holiday, or amusical holiday, or even a computer holiday. You get some hours of teachingevery day, meet other people who share your special interest, and have timeto relax as well in a pleasant country hotel or college campus 4.

假日愉快!

大多数英国人在七月或八月休假两周。这期间学校不上课,但商店、政府机关和工厂并不休息。如果能承担得起开销,他们就到国外度假,到阳光明媚的意大利、西班牙或希腊。

美国中小学的暑假比英国的长(美国有将近三个月,英国只有六到七周)。美国人经常全家到城外的乡村打发炎热的夏季。许多人留在城市工作,或在周末探访朋友。

暑假有些人只热衷晒晒日光浴,另有些人不满足于此。“特别爱好”假日现在很风行。

喜欢骑马吗?何不骑马游览美国亚利桑那州的大峡谷?

寒假怎么过呢?美国落基山脉、内华达山脉和阿巴拉契亚山脉有几百个滑雪胜地,在英国你也可以滑雪。

或许你想要运动量小一点?尝试一下绘画假日,或者音乐假日,甚或计算机假日。每天你听课学习几小时,跟与你有同样特殊爱好的人碰面,且还有时间在令人愉快的乡村旅店或大学校园放松身心。
