October is getting closer and it also means that the year of 2014 is coming to an end. “Hooray! It’s a holiday!” While you are thinking of putting textbooks aside and playing video games, let’s take a look at what children in other continents usually do during their holidays.
Children in America don’t have much homework to do. They keep themselves busy by playing camp games. A parent says, “My daughter Shirley usually attends different camps. We don’t ask her to spend plenty of time on maths problems or spelling tests.”
Children in Australia take partin activities on over twenty different th emes (主題). They learn painting, dancing, singing, history, culture and so on. Parents can accompany their kids to enjoy the learning process and to build a closer relationship with them.
