　My friend John is a university student. Last year he went to Japan and stayed for two months. I was surprised that John was able to have such a long holiday in Japan because he was not rich enough.

　“How did you get so much money, John?”I asked. “I thought you could stay in Japan for at most（最多）two weeks.”“It was easy,”John answered. “I got a job in Japan.”“A job? What did you do?”“I gave English lessons to a shop-owner. We became good friends.”“But you're not a teacher!”“Mr Tanaka, the shop-owner, knew I was not a teacher, but he said he had a lot of American customers, so he wanted to learn English. I spent three hours a day talking to him. In return, he gave me a room, three meals a day and quite a lot of pocket money.”“Did he learn much English?”

The final exam comes with June. When the exam ends(结束), 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.
Of course, the beaches are good places for relaxing. Some children are lucky to live near the beach. They can play in the water. But for the children far from the sea, they go to the beaches for one or two weeks with their parents.
