Different people have different opinions about the length of vacations. In China, the short vacation usually last for three days which is not long enough for people to do the things they really want. And the long vacation is usually a week, which is called “the golden week”. Some people prefer short vacations, for they don’t know what to do when they don’t need to work. Others love long vacations better, for they can spend their precious time on different kinds of activities. As for me, I prefer long vacations for the following reasons.
不同的人对假期的长度有不同的看法。在中国，短期假日一般持续三天，对那些想要做些什么的人来说明显时间不够长，而长假一般为一个星期，所以也被称之为“黄金周”。一些人喜欢短假，因为他们不知道不用上班时应该做些什么。另一些人则更喜欢长假，他们可以在长假中进行自己喜爱的各种活动。对我来说，我更喜欢长假，有如下的几个原因：
First, long vacations provide people enough time to travel remote. We can go to Yunnan, Beijing, even Thailand on the long vacations. But short vacation can not do this, for the time is not enough. The days you spend on the roads will cost at least two days. The long vacations will solve this problem. Second, the long vacation is a perfect time for us to meet old friends from primary and high school. We haven’t seen each other for a while, it’s time that we can get together and have some fun. Third, we can do various activities on the long vacations. Such as barbecue, go to KTV, sleeping all day long without being disturb by phone calls. What’s more, I can reread lots of my favorite books on long vacations. Especially I still haven’t finish reading the series of A Song of Ice and Fire.
首先，长假可以让人们有充足的时间去远方旅游。我们可以去云南，北京，甚至泰国。但是短假就不行了，你光是花在路上的时间就要两天了。而长假则不会有这样的问题出现。其次，长假是我们与小学同学、高初中同学聚会的好时候。我们很久都没有看见彼此了，是时候聚在一起找些乐子了。第三，我们可以在长假进行各种活动：烧烤、去KTV唱歌、睡一整天而不会被电话打扰。更好的是，我可以在长假中把自己喜欢的书在阅读一次。特别是我还没有读完《冰与火之歌》系列。
Long vacations are so good, I hope it will last. For me, it’s the most relaxing time for me to do the things I want and forget all about my problems. I think the government should arrange more long vacations for people.
长假真的太棒了，我希望能永远放假。对于我来说，这是能让我忘记自己的烦恼尽情的去做自己喜欢做的事情。我想政府应该多多安排一些长假给我们才好。
