The further development of economy in China has brought the more entertainment and leisure to people’s life. A case in point is the long holiday such as the National Day, in which people can spend one week or so enjoying themselves in different ways, especially going shopping and traveling. It has been agreed that the long holiday may bring much more benefit to both the customer and the businessmen.
On the other hand, however, the long holiday also brings much expectable problems to the society. First, too many visitors in the long holidays have caused the strain in traffic. Second, the visitors like to go to the well-known interesting places, which may lead to the serious damage to the nature and the scene.
In my view, people need such long holidays, and what really matters is how to guide people in theirentertainment. For example, it is advisable that people try to avoid going shopping or traveling in the rush days. Anyway, the long holiday is a good idea of satisfying both the people and the merchants.

Generally speaking, long holidays are good for us college students. On the one hand, we have a lot of time to study by ourselves and thus improve weaknesse and further develop strengths. On the other hand, we can take part-time jobs, which can make us realize responsibility and make ourselves better prepared for social life.
But every coin has two sides. Some students fail to make good use of their time and they are addicted to various computer games. I am afraid that they are likely to ruin themselves in this way.
As far as I am concerned, I will try to make the best use of my precious time. I will spend most of my holidays studying English for that I am very poor at it. In addition. I will take a part-time job as private teacher. By this means. I can earn some money and put my knowledge into practice as well.

Winter holiday is coming, many students are looking forward to a wonderful long vacation so that they are busy making a vacation plan. According to a survey, students who go traveling and do social practices during vacations increase greatly while those who stay at home decrease a lot.
There are many reasons account for that. Firstly, with the fast development of economy, many people have become rich, which makes it possible for more students to go traveling. Also, modem transportation has made it easier for students to go out to travel. Secondly, the authorities of Chinese university have been encouraging their students to do social practices in the hope that college students would broaden their view to know more about the society and become more adaptable to the future work after they graduate.
In my opinion, it’s good to let more students go out traveling or doing social practices during the vacations for they have become much mature to realize how to spend our vacations meaningfully and practically.

Post-holiday Syndrome Among Students
With the gloomy prospect of returning toschool,many students could suffer from post-holiday syndrome,which refers to a general feelingof depression before returning to campus life,which is caused by irregular lifestyles duringthe holiday.Symptoms include fatigue, lack of appetite and concentration,irritability and afeeling of helplessness.
Various reasons can account for it.But most important of all,a large number of studentstend to overindulge themselves in eating, merrymaking and playing around during the holidays,which makes it difficult to adjust to their routine study schedule and life pace on the campus.
My suggestions to deal with this syndrome are as follows.First，exercising and sticking toa normal schedule over the holidays will make a difference and nip post-holiday syndrome inthe bud. Besides,it pays to return a few days earlier before the semester starts.The earlyreturn seems to have kept the holiday blues at bay.

长假期
一般来说,长假期是对我们有益的大学生。一方面,我们有很多的时间来学习,从而提高自己的弱点和进一步发展优势。另一方面,我们可以从事兼职工作,这可以让我们意识到自己的责任,使社会生活更好的准备。
但每个硬币都有两面。一些学生不能充分利用他们的时间,他们沉迷于各种电脑游戏。我担心他们可能会以这种方式毁了自己。
就我而言,我将试图充分利用我宝贵的时间。我将花费我大部分的假期学习英语,我很可怜的它。此外,我需要一份兼职工作,当私人教师。通过这种方式,我可以赚到一些钱,把我的知识转化为实践。

假设你是Tony，是英语一班二年级学生，因有事不能上外教Ms. Riddle 的课，给她写一张请假条，说明你不能来上课的原因。
【范文】
October 8, 2007
Dear Ms. Riddle,
I would like to know if I could ask for a casual leave of absence from your Oral English class this Thursday morning.
Yesterday afternoon I got a phone call from my cousin, who is now operating a small company in suburbs of this city. He needs an interpreter for two days but cannot find the most trustworthy person, so he wants me to make an attempt. It seems to me that this is a golden opportunity to put what I have learned in your class into practice, but I need your permission of absence. If you think I may go and help him overcome the difficulty, I am confident that I’ll do a good job and both of us will be thankful.
Earnestly yours,
Tony
论节假日消费高涨
Holiday Economy
As we see, the extended holidays have caused unexpected great travel craze and brisk economic activities.But there are many debates on the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of holiday economy.Many people,especially some economists,are in favor of the holiday economy.They believe that tourism-based holiday economy has raised consumption and helped to spur the domestic demands.In addition,transportation,catering,hotels and service industries become flourishing during long holidays.
However,many others argue that the holiday economy do more harm than good.First,the travel craze puts a heavy burden on the traffic system.Second,thousands of tourists full scenic spots causing over crowdedness and safety problems.
As to me,I believe the advantages of holiday economy outweigh its disadvantages.After all,holiday economy greatly benefits the development of our overall economy.Besides,consumers can enjoy more colourful commodities and more preferential policies provided by the merchants.But the government should take effective measures to reduce the side effects of holiday economy.
Summer Job
The summer job is a tradition among students of American universities. Long before the end of the school year,students begin their search for jobs during vacation ( June, July, and August).
Students send letters to businesses, talk to employers about job opportunities durlng the summer, and ask friends and relarives to be on the lookout for jobs for them. By June the students have usually
solved the problem and begin to make preparations for leaving their books to enter the business world.
Reasons for wanting a summer job are different from student to student. Some work to help pay their school expenses; others work to gain experience in their chosen professions; still others work just for the fun of it.
Typist, construction worker, salesman, lifeguard, and waiter these are some of the more common jobs that students try to find during the summer months. But many young people find work that is a little more unusual.
暑期打工
暑假期间打工是美国大学生的一种传统。在学年结束很早以前。学生们就开始寻找假期中(六月、七月、和八月)的工作了。学生们寄信给一些公司，向老板询问暑期工作的机会。或是让亲戚、朋友帮忙打探有没有合适他们的工作。到了六月，这个问题通常已经落实，学生们也要准备着离开书本．进入工作的世界了。
学生想要暑期打工的原因各不相同。有些人为了筹集学费而工作．一些人打工是为自己选择的职业积累经验，还有些人打工仅仅是因为觉得好玩而已。
打字员、建筑工人、推销员、救生员、服务生 这些都是学生在暑假几个月中通常选择的工作。 当然，也有很多年轻人能够找到特别一些的工作。
