The final exams come in June. When the exams end (结束), the summer vacation begins. Boys and girls have about two months to relax. The summer vacation is the best time of a year for most children. The weather is usually fine. They can swim, go to a summer camp or visit other places with their parents.

Of course, the beaches are good places for relaxing. Some children are lucky to live near the beaches. They can often play in the water. But for the children far from the sea, they go to the beaches for one or two weeks with their parents.

Why do children like spending their summer vacations on the beaches? It is because they like the sand (沙), the sun, the cool wind and the sea water. There are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat, and exciting things to do.
