I prefer several short vacations to long one.

[Lubov]

Some people believe that students should be given one long vacation each year. Whereas, others think that students should have several short vacations throughout the year. As for me I like the last one because of the following reasons.

First, when students have holidays during all year round they have a chance to visit various places in different seasons. For example, I enjoy skiing and I usually spend a week somewhere in the mountains with my friends. I admire the beauty of the nature in winter. The ground and the trees are covered with snow, the nature like in a fairy tale. In summer I like spend my vocation somewhere in the see, lying in the sun and getting suntan. Autumn is my favorite season. The forests are so wonderful in autumn and I like picking mushrooms. So some short vacations give students an opportunity to admire all seasons and spend their holidays wherever they want.

Second, if students have one long vacation they will forger their studies. Moreover, everyone will agree with me that students do not have time to repeat different subjects during their holidays. That is why short vacations help them to relax and do not forget about their studies.

Third, it is not an easy thing to study for a long time without rest. Of course student will like their long vacation but they will have to study hard all the year, while several short holidays prevent them from overwork.

In conclusion, I totally agree that several short vacations are a great benefit for students. They have a good chance to visit various places and observe our nature in all its beauty in different seasons. Furthermore, they will not forget their studies and will always be on top, and the students will be provided with the necessary rest.

Sure, your work always is, but now I must begin to become more critical of your work.
This is done in an attempt to help you to strive toward even greater achievements in your compositions.

Without doubt you will pass the exam easily. My efforts are to help you attain a far better mark than you would do if you were allowed to rest on your laurels.

Higher marks help you to get into the university of your choice. I also suggest that you constantly speak aloud anything that you are reading. This serves two functions at the same time.

Kitos.
