長假還是短假？Long Vacations or Short Vacations？

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.
不同的人對假期的長度有不同的看法。在中國，短期假期 My Holiday'>假日一般持續三天，對那些想要做些什麼的人來說明顯時間不夠長，而長假一般爲一個星期，所以也被稱之爲“黃金週”。一些人喜歡短假，因爲他們不知道不用上班時應該做些什麼。另一些人則更喜歡長假，他們可以在長假中進行自己喜愛的各種活動。對我來說，我更喜歡長假，有如下的幾個原因：
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，長假可以讓人們有充足的時間去遠方旅遊。我們可以去雲南，北京，甚至泰國。但是短假就不行了，你光是花在路上的時間就要兩天了。而長假則不會有這樣的問題出現。其次，長假是我們與小學同學、高初中同學聚會的好時候。我們很久都沒有看見彼此了，是時候聚在一起找些樂子了。第三，我們可以在長假進行各種活動：燒烤、去KTV唱歌、睡一整天而不會被電話打擾。更好的是，我可以在長假中把自己喜歡的書在閱讀一次。特別是我還沒有讀完《冰與火之歌》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.
長假真的太棒了，我希望能永遠放假。對於我來說，這是能讓我忘記自己的煩惱盡情的去做自己喜歡做的事情。我想政府應該多多安排一些長假給我們纔好。
