Nowadays, a growing number of schools give students several short term vacations throughout the year. This is because they believe short term breaks would be useful for students. However, I disagree to these schools' idea with succinct rest time. Long vacations grant us to a great amount of time to use efficiently and we can learn about one thing by focusing definitely.
First of all, long term vacation gives us a lot of time. We can use this freely. When we go to trips, we should creat a journey plan and prepare for real trips and make some money. If there are only short period vacations, we cannot this because short time such as 3 days or 5days is too ambivalent to do something. On the other hand, in long vacation time, we can work at part-time jobs, we can creat a plan with friends and also can schedule our time well. In my case, my college offers us two long vacations and one short vacation. I can do many things in two long term vacations such as part-time jobs, traveling and going back to my country. But in short vacation, there are only 4days, I can only short lived activities such as going to the theater or driving around the city. So, I definitely find long term vacation beneficial.
Secondly, we can focus on our activities in long vacation. This is because we cannot worry about other school works in this period. Almost all cases, schools give some extra reports or homeworks to us in vacations. In short vacation, we are not able to other things in order to finish these extra works. However, if schools give us some extra reports in long vacation, we can do this 4 or 5 days and we can use our time for other works such as learning English, or doing sports steadily. For example, I learned about Chinese language skills in my last winter vacation because I could go to the 4 weeks language course steadily. Short vacations cannot provide us with these programs because we have to do something related to school in short period.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that long time vacation is better than several short term vacations.This is because we can use our time effectively in long time vacation and we can do something diligently. Schools should give us these useful long vacation rather than short term vacations. |
