As summer vacation ends, do you think back to the fun times...
or do you have homework yet to do?

In Japan, the school year starts in April. Summer vacation is generally from late July to the end of August. But it's only a partial vacation—most students have lots of homework due when school starts in September. The school term that starts in September is called 二学期(にがっき) ("second term"), and the kick-off ceremony is called 始業式(しぎょうしき) ("start-classes ceremony").
