British tourists will spend £30billion (£30,000,000,000,000)
overseas this year on holidays.
• A few years ago one man from London hoped to meet lots of new people
on his holiday in Austria. It was a holiday for single people only.
But when he arrived he was the only person there!
• In England the most popular places to visit are:
The London Eye
The Tower of London
The Eden Garden Project in Cornwall
Legoland, Windsor
• Most people in this country only started to have proper holidays
from the 1930s onwards, when people were given time off work with
pay.
• The school holidays you have now were first introduced in the second
half of the 19th century when attendance at school became compulsory.
They were based on the needs of farmers. For example, the 6 week
summer holiday was when children in the country helped to collect
the harvest.
• At home or overseas you need to take care when out in the hot sun.
-
Cover up with loose, cool clothes and a sun hat.
-
Play in the shade whenever it is hot.
-
The hottest time of the day is usually between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
-
Make sure you have strong sunscreen cream on.
-
Drink lots of water
HAVE
A GOOD HOLIDAY!
