The exam comes in July. When the exam finishes, the summer vacation begins. Boys and girls have two months to rest. The summer vacation is the best part of the year for most children. The weather is usually good. They can swim, go to summer camp or visit other places with their parents.
We all know that the beaches are good places to relax. Some children are lucky to live near the sea. They can enjoy the sea at any time. But for the children who live far from the sea, they go to the beaches for one or two weeks with their parents.
Why do children like spending their summer vacation on the beach? It is because they like the sand, the sun, the cool wind and the salty water. There are a lot of new things to see, nice things to eat and exciting things to do.
Here, a reporter is interviewing the 12-year-old singer, Mara Justine, who's one of the youngest contestants of America's Got Talent.
Reporter: Why did you choose to compete on America's Got Talent instead of one of the other singing competitions?
Mara: Well, America's Got Talent actually called me because I had auditioned before, when I was 9 or 10. I guess they looked over those videos. They asked me to audition again.
Reporter: How does it feel to be one of the youngest people on the show?
Mara: There are a lot of other people with more experience, but I just try to do my best. I always go on to the stage thinking good thoughts, never bad thoughts.
Reporter: Who is your role model or idol(偶像)? What inspires you?
Mara: For singing, my idols are Aretha Franklin and Christina Aguilera, but a role model to me would be my mom. I love her with all my heart—she encourages me to believe in my dreams.
Reporter: What are your other hobbies?
Mara: I love playing video games, and I usually go to the park with my family. We usually play basketball. We also like to play tennis!
