Opinions
differ whether taking a long vacation a year is better for students than taking
short several vacations or not. If I were asked to choose one, I would say that
having brief vacations for several times is better than once a year long
vacation. The rationale behind this is that students can forget their knowledge
with long vacation and they can stay physically heathy with several short
vacations.
To
begin with, students are likely to forget what they studied before with long
vacation. In other words, they can have problems to study when they come back
from a long vacation. There is a survey result that endorses my thoughts. It
was carried out a few years ago, and absolute majority sided with the reasons
as I mentioned above. A high school student said in the survey that he had a
long vacation for 3 months few years ago. He added that when he came back to
school, he forgot all kinds of knowledge such as history event and he had a
hard time. A high school teacher mentioned in the survey that she would not recommend
a long vacation to parents. She added that she used to see a lot of students
suffered in adaption to school after having a long vacation. This implies that
a long vacation can be negatively affect the school work of students.
On
top of that, students can stay healthy with several short vacations. If there
were only one vacation per year, students would be vulnerable to a lot of
disease due to lack of rest. There are numerous examples to support my idea.
Among them, this representative case shows why I asserts brief vacations are
better. When I was in high school, I often got a cold and allergy diseases.
Because there were a lot of competitions among colleagues, I had to study very
hard having 4 hours sleep a day. However, I could get over this in a safe way
to have several vacations. I had 3day vacation once a month and I could feel
relaxed and relieve my stress. This shows that brief vacations are better to
keep students be healthy.
To
sum up, students can forget their knowledge with a long vacation and stay
heathy with brief vacations. In this regard, I strongly believe that taking
several short vacations is better for students than a long vacation.
