When June comes to its end, children know they'll have the final exams(期末考试) and the school year will end soon. They are going to have a holiday, from July to August. They'll return home by train or by car.
The summer holiday is the best time of year for most students. The weather is good, so they can spend most of their time playing outside. If one lives in the countryside(农村), he or she can go on a trip into the woods or in the fields. If one lives in a big city, he or she often goes to a park to play.
The best place for a summer holiday is the seaside. Some children are lucky enough to live near the sea. But for the others who do not, if they have the chance to stay at the seaside for a week or two, they will talk about it all the following school year.
Now, what makes children like the seaside so much? I think it is the sand, the sea, and the sun, not anything else. Of course, there are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat and interesting things to do. But the feeling of the sand under their feet, the salt water on their skin, and the warm sun on their backs make them happier.
