The length of summer vacation may vary based on where ycu live. At most schools in southern China, the vacation lasts for two months— from the beginning of July to the end of August. But how about kids in other countries or regions? Do they all get out of school at the same time or for as long? Let's find out.
England
In England, summer vacation starts in mid-July and ends in early September. That means most kids only get six weeks off.
During their summer vacation, kids often leave the city and go into the country. Towns and villages hosting festivals that celebrate music or theater are some of the most popular destinations.
Japan
Unlike here in China, the school year in Japan doesn't start in September, but in April. So when Japanese kids go on their summer vacation from mid-July to the end of August, it doesn't mark the end of the school year. Instead, it's just a nice long break during the summer heat.
Because summer vacation takes place between terms, kids are often given lots of homework during their time off.
Argentina(阿根廷)
In Argentina, summer vacation starts in mid-December and lasts till the end of February.
Wait a minute! Wouldn't that make it a winter vacation?
Well, Argentina lies in the Southern Hemisphere(南半球). When it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
Adults also usually get a long break in January or February. So the entire family may pack up and head to one of the country's many beautiful beaches. During summer vacation, the beaches are very crowded!
