The First Day in the Winter Holiday

It was the first day of the winter holiday, but Xiao Ming wasn’t happy. In the morning, his mother woke him up early and wanted to take him to a make-up school. At almost the same time, his father came in, telling him to sign up for an English training course. Xiao Ming was a football fan and was crazy about cartoon films, yet neither of his parents would like him to develop his own interest. What they only care about seems to be his study.

It’s not only Xiao Ming who has to face such a holiday. Nowadays, children in China are burdened with so much homework and so many training courses that they can hardly enjoy their holidays. It’s time that parents “returned” holidays to their children.
