The summer holiday is coming, which can be a relaxing time for sleeping, eating good meals and seeing old friends. Try to take some time off from school and spend a few weeks of fun. Here are some ideas for planning your summer holiday.

First of all, joining a club is a good choice! You can join a music club, a sports club or an art club. It’s good for your future development and the teachers in the club can give you good advice.

Doing something good for society is also great. There are many volunteer programs for you to choose from, such as looking after the old or the young, cleaning the streets, planting trees or keeping the traffic in order. You know that teens can also make the world better.

Have you ever lived with another family? You can join in a program called “Meeting a New Family”. Two families exchange their children for some time so that they can learn how to get on well with others.

Summer camp is still popular today. An English summer camp may be a good choice. You can not only make friends but also practise your English.
