Summer holidays are going to start soon in Japan.
In your country, what do kids do during their vacations ?
In Japan, kids have to do lots of homework.
The homework is not just studying, First of all you have to write a diary. Even though this is a really easy task, it is a really difficult homework.
It is easy enough to write a diarybut writing something everyday in the diary for 40 days is really tough.There are some kids who try to write 40 days worth ( of diary entries ) on the last day of the holidays.
Other tasks are, to draw pictures, paint landscapes, read books and give your impression of them in pictures.
Kids also sometimes make handicrafts, make a savings box, or make toys.
When you are making them you have to be imaginative. . Parents usually help. But for parents who hate handicraft, it is really terrible .
And parents who are good at handicraft making become their kids' heroes.
That isn't all either, there is still other homework to do. Japanese kids seem to be very busy don't they ?
In your country, what kind of homework do kids get during the vacations ? Is it the same as in Japan ?
