M: Ms. Green, the high tourist season in England is coming again. Could you tell us more about the tourism in England?

W: Sure. In England, not only the rich but also the poor take holidays every year. During July and August most towns are empty. Factory holidays come mostly in the Period between mid-July and mid-August. State schools usually only have six weeks off, from about mid-July to the end of August.

The coast is the most popular place for the English people to spend their holidays. Food in British restaurants is reasonably cheap, but rooms are not. Few English people rent houses for their holidays, but one of the traditional ways of spending a summer holiday is in a boarding house. Some boarding house keepers provide all meals for their guests, but others provide breakfast only.

The British people may refuse to change the times at which they take their holidays, but they have shown themselves to be very ready to try new places. When they get home again, they always talk about how they spent their holidays.
