Britain: strive to accumulate social experience
The winter holidays in Britain are generally 65,438+0 weeks of Christmas and 65,438+0 weeks of February. These two festivals are traditional national festivals of the British people with a short interval. Therefore, most of the activities of British students are to celebrate the New Year with everyone, attend family gatherings or go out to play.
The winter vacation of British students is more than just a happy celebration. Many students usually use their holidays to work or practice. Vacation work is mainly simple housework and service industry, including helping parents wash their cars, helping neighbors mow the lawn, delivering newspapers in the community and so on. Although I don't earn much money, I have the opportunity to face the society and deal with problems independently. Students can be seen everywhere in gas stations, fast food restaurants and supermarkets. After a holiday, they can not only earn hundreds of pounds, but also become confident and sophisticated in specific jobs.
United States: Community Volunteer Service
The winter vacation of American students is usually the winter vacation of ordinary Americans. Christmas is a holiday for many Americans to go home and get together. They will take their children back to their hometown and reunite with their parents for the holidays.
The winter vacation is not long, usually two weeks. Coupled with the rush of travel, students really don't have much time at home.
In addition to the above-mentioned activities, American children will also participate in various voluntary service activities, such as cooking for homeless people in relief centers and teaching in underdeveloped countries.
As more and more public schools in the United States stipulate that students must complete community service for a specified time before graduating from high school, otherwise they cannot graduate. Therefore, winter vacation has become a good opportunity for students to volunteer.
France: Holidays are inviolable. Relax first.
In France, parents and educators all believe that teachers must teach students in class and can't finish teaching tasks by leaving homework for students. Therefore, for French students, parents and teachers, holidays are holidays and are sacred and inviolable.
French schools and parents attach great importance to students' holiday life and play, and tourism is an important project of students' holiday life.
Recently, an industrial tourism activity has arisen in France, that is, factories and enterprises all over the country will receive students to visit every holiday after some technical preparations. For example, French wine is very famous and enjoys a high reputation in the world. Therefore, many schools use holidays to organize students to travel to the wine-producing areas in western or southern France for industrial tourism, specifically and vividly understand the history and traditions of the French nation, and brew wine by themselves. Students have learned a lot in practice, increased their knowledge and been inspired.

Short-term employment is a major feature of junior and senior students, who are faced with necessary expenses such as job hunting and graduation travel.
South Korea: the "new look" of the new semester
In Korea, suffering and study are the main contents of students' holiday activities. The most distinctive of these is the military training in South Korea. Compared with the domestic military training that pays too much attention to queue training and housekeeping, the military training of Korean students is more "real knife and real gun". Some technical training, such as "rope falling" in winter and "shirtless in the snow", seems too harsh, but it allows children to keep fit and exercise their will through these activities.
Most Korean college students have plans to work during the winter vacation. There are also a few people who want to improve their foreign language level through winter vacation. Those with less money choose the Philippines, and those with more money often choose Australia. In addition, some lesbians choose to do micro-plastic surgery in winter vacation and have a "new look" in the new semester.

Germany can be called the "champion" of holiday in western countries. Students have more holidays, and German students enjoy about 150 days (including winter vacation) every year. Students' holidays are also dominated by "tourism", and the main activity is to go to the farm to get close to nature.
One-day tour is a kind of tourism activity for German students. Most of these activities are based on the theme of getting close to nature, and the location is generally chosen in nature parks, pastures, farms or scenic spots. Many teachers are sent by the school to organize such activities. In addition to class teachers and professional teachers in related disciplines, there are also specialized doctors to ensure the safety of teachers and students.
