·Holidays:
Summer holidays are the most important period of the year. During summer, people go to the beach, the swimming pool or simply relax on the sofa with a soft drink. In Catalunya, on June 19th, we finish school and, finally, we can enjoy the sun. But when people fail some subjects, they need to re-sit the subjet with an exam. Normally, this exam is the next week after finishing the lessons.
·The beach:
Normally, in Catalunya, the swimming pool is full and ,consequently, we decide to go to the beach because… IT’S FREE!! In our beaches there’re a lot of different people:
·Surfers:
They come to the beach to practise surfing and windsurfing, but in Barcelona, there aren’t good waves and ,consequently, there aren’t a lot of surfers.
·Nudists:
Nudists have got their own beach, because some people don’t like to see the naked bodies of the people.
·Grandparents:
They are the oldest people in the beach. They like to getting a suntan (women), and men like to staying in the beach under the beach umbrella and playing cards, domino or chess with their friends.
·Young people:
The like chatting with other people and playing badminton or football, they’re a little bit loud, but are good people.
·Barcelona:
Barcelona is full of tourists in summer, the beach and the swimmingpool specially. In summer, it is a very beautiful city because there are a lot of people, it’s sunny, but sometimes it is very stressful. Normally, young people go away from the city, but some people decide to stay in the city on holidays.
·Summer camps:
In Catalunya, some young people go to summer camps. In this sites, people do different activities, like games, excursions,etc…
There are different types of camps: English camps, Sports camps… These activities last for two months aproximately, and boys and girls about 12-17 years old participate in it.

This excursion is about two weeks and normally is in a lake or in a site with water. In this sort of club, people meet other people and it’s fun, you can go to sites and make friends .
