【—人教版初中二年级上册英语第三单元文化背景教材】在假期的时候，同学们会利用那几个星期去做一些有意义的事。下面就是老师大家带来的对第三单元 What are you doing for vacation? 文化背景的相关介绍。

　　Unit 3 What are you doing for vacation? 文化背景知识介绍

　　Most schools in America have a ten-month school year with a two-month vacation during the summer. In the winter, such schools will have a two-week long winter break and a week-long spring break. In schools with a year-round schedule, students are typically in school for eight weeks and on vacation for one week with a five-week midwinter break.

　　The activities of young people during vacations depend on their ages, interests, and environments. Most young people will spend time doing things that they enjoy such as watching TV or playing computer games alone and with friends. In the States where it snows, during the winter break, young people may participate in activities such as skating, hockey, skiing and so on.

　　During the longer summer break, some high school students will have part-time jobs. Other young people may take summer school classes or participate in educational activities outside of school, such as a zoo or an aquarium program. Many young people will take part in organized recreational activities, such as swimming lessons or summer sports camps, at community centers, and take vacations with their families. Outdoor activities such as swimming, camping, barbecuing, and fishing are popular during this time.

　　对于同学们来说，放假了，同学们想要做什么呢？不如同学们也做一些对自己有意义的事吧！
