ON HOLIDAYS

Many people think about holidays in January. They begin to make plans. They talk about places and ideas... January is a cold month in many countries, and February is even worse! Christmas is over. The New year has begun. So people begin to dream.

Some people like winter holidays. If they live near mountains they probably go skiing. Some people can ski every weekend, but others go for a week and have a real holiday.

Not everybody likes winter holidays. Though, many people dream of the sun and warm beaches. And other people like to do things when they are on holiday. They want to learn a foreign language or visit famous places, or go climbing. Some people like to spend their holidays with a lot of other people; others prefer to go on their own.

Even if we all have different ideas about an ideal holiday, we all have to face two problems: time and money. In some countries, people have a three weeks holiday each year, in other countries, it is four weeks and teachers often have twelve weeks! Some people like to have one long holiday each year; others prefer to have two short ones.

SOME OF ENGLISH CUSTOMS

Some of the English customs are strange. People in England do not shake hands as much as people do in Europe. Men raise their hats to women but not to each other. When you go to a friend's house for a dinner, it's not the custom to say, "Thank you" at the end of the dinner as in our country. There you wait until you are leaving to go home and then you say, "Thank you for inviting me". Very few people have servants in their homes. It is very difficult to get servants, and servants' wages are high, so the men help their wives in many ways.

Sunday is a very quiet day in London. All the shops are not open and so are the theatres and most of the cinemas. Londoners like to get out of town on Sundays. They often go down to the sea for the day. There are very few outdoor cafes in London. That's because the weather changes so often and so quickly. The sun may shine one minute and the a few minutes later it may rain.

Foreigners sometimes get a little tired of English cooking, and they go to Soho. Soho is a part of London where there are all sorts of restaurants: French, Italian, Greek, Spanish, Indian and many others.
