Have you ever studied abroad? Maybe it is an amazing experience, especially when you come to
Australia as an foreign high school student. You can have a lot of fun there, especially on holidays.
There are many festivals in Australia. The most important one is Christmas. Each year, the summer
holidays at every high school last about two months from the beginning. of December to February, which
covers the Christmas time. Since it is a long holiday, most foreign students in Australia love to fly back to
their home countries spend the time with their families and friends, but a few students still stay in Australia
during the holiday to get part-time .jobs. It is quite easy to find a part-time job at Christmas. Students
often take part in another major social activity. They go to the beach to have fun in the sunshine. The
summer in Australia is from December to February, so going to the beach in December is very popular
among Australians.
Easter in March is another important holiday in the year. It actually combines "Good Friday" and
"Easter Monday". Almost every shop closes on Good Friday. And people usually go to see Easter Show.
The Chinese New Year is not a public holiday in Australia, so every Chinese student still has to go to
school to study and do his or her normal duties.
