  Most American families like to have a holiday in summer. Summer is a good season for holiday. It is often very hot during the months of July and August. Students do not go to school during these two months. Some people like to stay at home during their holiday. They work in the garden, visit their friends, read books, or watch television. Many families take their lunch to the park or somewhere far from the city. They like to eat where there are many trees or a nice lake. If they live near the ocean(海), they often go to the beach(海滩). There they can fish, swim or enjoy the sun.

  Many Americans like to meet people from other countries like Meaxico or Canada. Some people have enough time and money to travel to other countries like France, Japan or Argentina. They usually fly to these countries on planes.
