　　When July comes, children know they'll have __31__ examinations and the school year will end soon. Boys and girls will have a nearly two months' holiday, and they'll leave school__32__train or by car to return home to see their fathers and mothers.

　　The summer holidays are the __33___ time of the year for most children. The weather is usually good, so one can __34___ most of his time playing outside. If one lives in the country, he can __35__ into the woods and in the fields. If one lives in a big town, he can usually go to a park to play.

　　The best place for a summer holiday is the __36__. Some children are __37__ enough to live near the sea. But for the others who do not, if they have the chance to stay at one of the big seaside towns for a week or two, they will talk about it all the following school year.

　　Now, __38__ makes children like the seaside so much? I think it is the sand, the sea and __39__, not anything else. Of course, there are __40__ new things to see, nice things to eat, and interesting things to do. But the feeling of sand under their feet, of salt water on their skin, and the feeling of the warm sun on their backs make them happier.
