I’m Sharon. One of my favorite countries to go on vacation is China. After falling in love with the country on a business（生意）trip two years ago, I took my children to China last summer. We visited three cities, but Xi’an was the most interesting one. This old city is amazing and our children loved to ride bicycles on the famous City Wall. The wall is about 14 kilometers long and it has a very long history. Visitors can rent bicycles there and it is very cheap. And on each corner you can take a rest and enjoy a bottle of cold water. Trust（相信）me, your children will love the trip!

The summer vacation is a time to enjoy a change from the school year.It’s a good chance to work on different activities that you don’t have much time to do during the rest of the year.

We asked about 2,000 people what they would do during the summer vacation.Most of the survey-takers agreed that the summer vacation was a break from homework and they could relax.

Alexis said,“At school,I’m really tired,so during the summer vacation I can read books and do many outdoor activities.”

Amy is in high school.After school,she sometimes works in a cafe.She told us,“It’s a chance to relax after a hard school year—sleep more,and visit my friends more.”

We also asked them if they would be too busy or kind of bored.About half (52%) of the survey-takers said they would be busy during the summer vacation but still have time to relax.And that is exactly how it should be.

But not everyone said their summer vacation would be the right balance(平衡) between being busy and relaxing.Many thought that they would be too bored.

Our family went to the Yellow Stone National Park last summer vacation. Our son, Tom, wanted to see bears there. And what an experience it was!

When we got there, we put up our tent and went to explore（探险）. As we returned, we heard our daughter Susie cry out. And then we saw a bear go into our camp.

Tom wanted his father to chase（追赶）him away.

His father said, “No. It’s dangerous to chase a bear. And don’t let him chase you.”

Susie said, “What shall we do? Maybe we should climb a tree.”

Tom said, “No. We have to get him out of there. He might go to sleep in our tent.”

“Maybe we could make him leave if we put some honey outside for him to eat.” Susie suggested.

Then I said, “How are you going to get the honey? It’s in the tent.”

We watched the bear go into the tent and heard him upset（翻倒）everything inside.

“It’s foolish for us to try to chase him away.” said my husband, “Leave him alone and wait for him to come out.”

Students in Japan are trying a new kind of traveling. In the past they could only go to the museums. That was boring for the teenagers. They often went by bus. Many of them felt asleep in the museum. But now they can go out of doors. They can go to factories, villages and many other places they like.

Experiential education(体验式教育) is now very popular in North America. It is also becoming more and more popular in Japan. Just look at the JTB, Japan’s biggest travel agency. It has more than 300 different travel programs for students and schools. More than 25 schools have taken part in the programs.

Where are the students going? They travel to fishing villages in Kyushu, Japanese villages in Hawaii, and farming villages in China. Some even go to English classes in England. Wherever they go, they enjoy helping the disabled(残疾的). They help these people get around. By doing so, they learn how to take care of others. It’s an experience that students will never forget.

Traveling in Japan also does good for the farmers and fishermen. Fishing and farming villages have a hard time in modern Japan. Now there are many people visit their villages. Visitors, coming every year, bring them a lot of money and a better life.
