Going on holidays is best choice for the Europeans to relax themselves, especially in the UK.
However, much has changed during the past decades(幾十年).
One of the most traditional British holidays was the"seasideholiday". Families got on a train or
into a car and traveled to seaside towns nearby to sunbathe on the beach, buy ice-creams and
eatfish and ships and so on.
In the late 1970s, more and more British people started traveling to other countries in Europe
for their summer holidays(July-August) because the weather wasn't very good, even in summer.
The"package holiday"was particularly popular with most families.
In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became wealthier, so many of them traveled
to countries all over the worldfor their holidays.
These years, especially after the world financial crisis(金融危機), most British people can not
afford to spend their holidays abroad. They again begin to choose to stay in their own home and
go on a few day trips rather than spending money on hotels. Theycall this sort of vacation a"staycation".

Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was c 4 “Sunshine Superman”by one newspaper writing about his design.When people study the weather, it’s important to be able to record the sunshine accurately.We need to know how many h 5 of sunshine we have and how strong it is.Most sunshine recorders o 6 record direct(直接的)sunshine.Neil’s is more accurate and this is very important for research into ways of using solar power.Neil plans to keep inventing.
The ideas in the competition were so g 7 that we are surprised that the industry(工業(yè)界)doesn’t ask more school children for suggestions.
