early 1990s. do you know what early swimsuits(游泳衣) looked like and what they were made of? the earliest swimsuits covered most of the body and were called “bathing clothes”. they were often made of wool, which made them scratchy (扎人的) and very heavy when they got wet. newer materials made it possible to make lighter swimsuits.over time, swimsuits covered less and less of the body.in 1946, the bikini became popular among women.summer holidays dont just mean going to the water.they can also mean going for a bike ride，or a picnic. it all depends how you want to spend your summer days.if you live or spend your holiday near the water，then fishing, diving, and boating are all good possibilities. in summertime, lots of people enjoy playing，picnicking, and just going out with friends on a long summer day until the sun goes down.a famous song called summertime from the opera porgy and bess describes lifes more relaxed pace in this season，“summertime.and the living is easy.fish are jumping.”ask your parents and older relatives about their summertime memories.【解題導(dǎo)語】 家庭度假計(jì)劃與學(xué)校假期總是有著密不可分的關(guān)系。對許多孩子來說，暑假就意味著去郊游，去游泳。本文除了介紹一些暑期戶外活動(dòng)外，還介紹了泳衣的變化。41what does the
