Where did you go this summer vacation? Perhaps you have visited some top universities in China or outside China. If so, you are not alone.

This summer, groups of tourists from all over China traveled to famous universities like Tsinghua University (大学), Peking University and Fudan University. Tsinghua University received 6,000 visitors a day, said China Youth Daily. Most of them were high school students with their parents.

With more and more visitors, it took many hours to come into the universities.

“Tsinghua University opens to the public at 8:30 am,” a guard (保安) told China Youth Daily. “However, many people start to wait in line at 3 to 4 am because people who come at 6 o’clock may be too late and can only come in in the afternoon.”

This is not only for Chinese universities. Oxford in Britain and Harvard in the United States are facing the same problem. In summer, bicycle paths of Oxford were full of tour buses, which were parked illegally (违规). The pavements (人行道) were also full of Chinese tourists.

“University tourism” is popular because of the long histories and unique cultures（独特的文化）of these famous universities. More importantly, many parents hope their children will go into a top university in the future, said People’s Daily.

“I brought my son here to see what top universities look like,” a mother of a 14-year-old boy told China Daily. She hoped her son could learn something from the trip and study harder after that.

Every weekend in Britain, DIY shops are always very busy. Many people like making their homes better than relaxing. DIY projects are very popular in Britain and there are lots of TV programmes which show people how they can improve their homes.

Some people like easy decorating (装饰). They often put up wall-paper and paint walls, but there are a lot of different DIY projects that people decide to take on, from changing the new floor to fixing a new shower.

Unluckily, people bite off more than they can chew (不自量力), and try to take on jobs which end in DIY disasters (灾难). The shops often tell their shoppers that anything electrical (电的) should be done by an electrician. However, many people don’t care about this warning（警告） and put themselves in danger.
