Tony:Do you have any plans for the May Day holiday,Betty?
Betty:My parents and I are going to visit some friends in Shandong Province.And while we`er staying with them,we`er going to spend a few days in Qingdao.We`ll stay there until May 5th.
Daming:Do you celebrate May 1st in the UK,Tony?
tony:Well,we celebrate May Day,but the holiday is not always on May 1st.It`s the closest Monday to May 1st,and we only have one day off.
Betty:In the USA,Labour Day is a national holiday,but on a different date,too.It`s on the first Monday in September.And it`s the last day before the new school year begins.
Lingling:Do you do anything special?
Betty:We go camping or we have a picnic somewhere nice,or go to the beach.But it`s also the end of the vacationseason.When September comes,it starts to get cooler,so after Labour Day we start classes.
Daming:We also go back to school as soon as the May Day holiday is over.
Lingling:True,but our weather gets better,and thenwe only have a few weeks before the start of the summer holidays.
Betty:Right!So let`s enjoy ourselves until we go back to school.
