Additionally, this period may also be referred to by the month or period in which a holiday is taken.
A break = a holiday/time off work
Leave = a holiday/time off work. 'Leave' is especially used by people working in the military services: 'To request leave of absence' = To ask for permission to take time off work.

B \"Oh, I'm taking a July vacation myself.\"

Answer

普通に「夏季[休暇](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/35037/)」という場合は、「summer vacation」（主に北米）や「summer holiday(s)」（主にイギリス連邦諸国）が使われます。

ちなみに、イギリス英語では「summer holidays」と複数形にするのが普通です。僕の住むニュージーランドの英語でも同じです。文章では以下のように使われます。

I had a summer vacation. （夏季休暇を取りました。）
I took an early summer holiday. （早めの夏季休暇を取りました。）

また、「annual leave」は年次休暇のことで、「[有給休暇](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/38960/)」という意味で使われることもあります。「有給」であることを強調したい場合は、「paid annual leave」と言えばはっきりするでしょう。

I am thinking of applying for an annual leave. （年次休暇を申請しようと考えています。）

 Children & teachers alike, really look forward to: Their Summer Holiday break\"

Answer

I know the Americans go on vacation but the British go on holidays.

It can be a short holiday - 2or 3 days - which we call a short break, short holiday or a long weekend, depending on when you go.
The larger holiday in the summer is known as the summer holidays and usually last 1 or 2 weeks.
