3．Hello, everyone. Let me tell you something about our summer holiday in America. Our summer holiday is from June to August. It lasts for about 10 weeks. During the holiday, we often attend the summer school or the summer camp, or travel with our family.

In the summer school, there are many courses: maths, English, science, cooking and so on. We also do a lot of reading. Our parents let us choose any courses we like.

The summer camp is great fun. We take part in many activities with our friends. We also visit many places such as museums and places of interest.
