1 . Summer is a time to enjoy a change from the school year. It’s a chance to work on different interests or activities that you don’t have much time for during the rest of the year.

We asked our readers what they would do during the summer. Most of them said they would have much homework to do but still have time to relax.

The fifth grader Alex said, “At school I’m really tired, so on summer vacation I can not only relax and read books but also go outside and swim. I’ve learned many skills during the summer vacations.”

Ben, a high school student, told us, “I want to sleep more and see my friends more.” Ben is now volunteering in a food bank in the day from Monday to Friday and then hang out with friends and family at nights or at weekends. He feels his life in summer colorful and meaningful.

But not every survey-taker said their summers would be right balance (平衡) of busying and relaxing. Some think they’re too bored. How bored or busy people feel during the summer depends on how old they are. Rosa told us one of the things she wants is “being able to drive myself wherever I want”. Older teens want to have paid jobs to take up some of their time.

3 . For many kids, summer vacation is the time to play. They can finally leave books and lessons behind after a term of busy school life.

    1     She hated to waste time on meaningless things. Since Penelope not only liked reading, but also wished to share her love for reading with other kids, she came up with a plan to run her own library in the neighborhood.

Penelope’s parents completely agreed with her.     2     Penelope brought all her books to her new library. After everything was ready, Penelope started opening the garage door for a few hours from Monday to Friday.
