10、】 A Major Disadvantage of a Long Holiday According to a statistics, the average holidays Chinese enjoy are 115 days per year, ranking the 59th among the 65 countries surveyed. Given this figure, there is no doubt that Chinese people could be entitled to more holidays. But this does not mean that we
11、should take a long holiday. A major disadvantage of a long holiday is that we would suffer the “post-holiday“ syndrome. Post-holiday syndrome refers to the slackness and unwillingness to get back to work after a long holiday. Those who spend their week-long or even month-long holiday would have to t
12、ake days to adjust themselves in order to fit into the working schedule. That is why after the Spring Festival, many employees find it a hard time to get up early to go to work and focus on the tasks at office. If we take only three days off, we would not develop a haphazard schedule and would still
13、 be able to recharge ourselves in a retreat When the short holiday is over, we are energized and well prepared to work on schedule again.

They share a meal together but they never share anything during the day. Once the dinner is over, the kids would lock themselves up
16、 in their separate rooms. By doing so, they also close their heart to their parents. To solve this issue, I think it is a good idea to take family trips on a regular basis. First of all, family outing would create a lot of opportunities for communication. Whether it is a nice picnic in the local par
17、k or an exciting paintball match, family members are supposed to prepare tasty food or work on winning strategies. In the process, they would talk to each other. The increasing exchanges will enable family members to stay close to one another. Secondly, in the family trips, people can enjoy many fun
18、ny and joyful moments, which would turn into unforgettable memories. The elder sister may tease Mum because of her weirdly tasted sandwich and the younger brother may fist-bump with Dad because their clever tactics help win the paintball match.

No one would deny that we are living in an increasingly commercialized society, where commodities are sold at a certain price, low or high. Happiness, however, is not a commodity
21、. Happiness is at most associated with the materials you have. The association could be both negative and positive and it is we who should decide. I think money cannot buy happiness. Happiness is a state of mind which goes beyond the boundary of material possession. The reason why people assume that
22、 money could buy happiness is that they follow the thought of “the more, the merrier“. The more things you own, the merrier you will be. Yet this idea is not entirely true as more things may also lead to misery. For example, in the fable Unhappy King, the king, who had everything of his kingdom, was
23、 not happy at all. After an extensive search for happy people, he found that a penniless peasant was the happiest person. Even though we are not living in the fairy tale, it is still true that we can feel happy without having or buying many things. In conclusion, happiness is in the eye of beholder,

Those who survive in the nature are invariably the winners in the competition. Likewise, in the human world, competition is also importa
26、nt for both individuals and the society as a whole. First of all, competition is a powerful force to urge people to excel themselves. Without competition, there will be no challenge for us and we will not test our limit or even go beyond it. If, in a sport game, two or more persons are in a competit
27、ion, athletes have to bring their A game to outplay the opponent. If, unfortunately, one loses the game, he must set his heart and mind to get better to win the next competition. In this way, the athletes are driven to improve themselves. Secondly, competition is a catalyst to boost innovation. For
28、example, in the Silicon Valley, many new technological applications are released on a daily basis. No company could afford to slacken and relax in their innovative undertaking. Subject to the competitive industry environment, they have to come up with new, distinctive and unique idea to survive. Owi

Admittedly, traveling
31、abroad has a lot of benefits, among which are broadening our horizon and building up our character. First of all, traveling abroad enables us to broaden our view. We are no longer confined to the landscape and culture of one nation. Instead, we will be greeted by exotic folk culture and sceneries, w
32、hich will trigger us to learn more about the destination. Bit by bit, as we travel across many different nations, we will be more acutely aware of the varieties of cultures in the world. Secondly, traveling abroad is a character-building experience for us, especially for young people. A person who t
33、ravels a lot is usually independent, tolerant and resilient. Because of the different practices and beliefs between the foreign culture and the home culture, one needs to adapt quickly to the local culture. “Do in Rome as the Romans do“. Besides, the more you are exposed to the foreign lands, the mo
34、re you are aware of the cultural differences. Therefore, you will be more tolerant with different people and customs along the way.
