Holiday in the city - be or not to be?

Some article I invent for my English lesson. Hope you like it.

Can you imagine your perfect holiday? Maybe you will spend this time in your city? A lot of young people spend their vacation in their hometown. This peroid couldn't be dreary! It's the best time to improve ourselves.
Mary Iks, who is spending her free time in the city said, "The best holiday I have ever had was in my town. There were pros and cons. However I really liked it!"
On holiday you posses a lot of time to spare nevertheless don't sleep to much! Meet with your friends, read books, sing, draw, dance, broaden your mind, travel… Yes, travel. Get to know your city. Museums, Art Galleries, theatres couldn’t be boring. Check it! Maybe you will find something inimitable.
Holidays enable us to polish up our skills. You have a lot of time and you don’t waste it doing unnecessary things. You can do what you want. You can spend your free time learning. Languages, chemistry, history… It’s the best time to catch up with the subjects you don’t like. Consequently, in the next school year, you will excel in things you hated.
I reckon that holidays in the city are one of the best way to spare our time. However everything is in your hand. It depends on you what you will do with your free time.
