Those who consider constantly get the knowledge is the key to success could concede with the enhance the semester, however, I discord with the idea that taking 11 month classes a year. There are three main reasons : do extracurricular activities, prepare next semester, earn money.
To begin with, we could do many other extracurricular activities with relatively long periods. Such as going a trip, studying what I can not do during the semester, playing sports or musical instruments. For me, I had been to europe during the freshman year summer vacation. I could see many things with long time. If I had to go europe with short time, I could not enjoyed and learned fully.
Secondly, I think students should take an abundant rest to prepare the following class. They had hard time to learning for lecture, moreover, get stressed, rarely take a break in semester. Vacations between the classes are only time to relax. Pupils need time to recharge their energy and preview the next lecture.
Moreover, vacation is students' opportunities to earn money comparing to the semester. In vacation, one can have more time to do a part time or full time job. For example, one of my familiar friend, Ji young used to work at the convenient shop during vacation. She get much money that time so she could pay her own tuition. From my perspective, there would be many students who get much money during vacation to pay for tuition.
To sum up, It could be helpful for disciples to study 11 month throughout a year. By learning much more knowledges. However, without enough vacations, one cannot do extracurricular activities, rest and prepare the ensuing semester, and gain money. For these reasons, I oppose the idea that enlarging the semester. |
