Here are four tips to enjoy a Swedish summer.

Stay in a cottage

There are nearly 600,000 summer houses in Sweden. And more than 50% of the Swedes have access to them through family or friends. A few of the most popular summer house destinations for Swedes can be found in the provinces of Smaland, Skane and Oland. If you want to spend your summer like a Swede, make sure to spend a few nights in a cottage.

Follow the trail to Gotland

The island of Gotland is where half of Stockholmers go during the summer. In the medieval (中世纪)city of Visby, ancient streets and city walls meet modern restaurants, cafes and shops. A short ferry ride northeast of Gotland lies the smaller island of Faro, where director Ingmar Bergman used to live. Both Faro and Gotland are famous for their many flea markets.

Check out a music festival

Swedish summer is a festival season. Way Out West, or WOW, is the most popular music festival with about 30,000 visitors. It is usually held in Gothenburg park of Slottsskogen in August. It has been prized as the Most Innovative Festival by MTV and, since 2012, WOW has only served vegetarian food(素食). The decision, praised by Jamie Oliver, has reduced the festival’s carbon footprint by 20%. WOW is also Europe’s biggest combined music and film festival.

Pick blueberries in Dalarna

Dalarna is perhaps the most Swedish province, with its red wooden cottages, deep green forests and Dala horses. This region is perfect for making yourself involved in traditional Midsummer celebrations or listening to Swedish folk music. When you need a break from all of this loud Swedishness, head into the woods for some quiet blueberry picking.

1.What should you do if you want to spend your summer vacation like a Swede?

A. Spend a few nights in a cottage

B. Pick blueberries in Dalarna

C. Follow the trail to Gotland

D. Attend a music festival

2.Where did the director Ingmar Bergman use to live?

A. The island of Gotland

B. The Gothenburg park

C. The island of Faro

D. The city of Visby

3.What is special about the music festival WOW?

A. It only serves vegetarian food now

B. It is held in honor of Jamie Oliver

C. It is the biggest festival in the world

D. It attracts about 30,000 Swedes every year

4.Which of the following provinces is a typical Swedish area?

A. Stockholm B. Skane

C. Oland D. Dalarna
