答案E Now,I’d like you to talk about something for about 3 minutes. I’m just going to listen. I’d like you to discuss about long-week holidays. A I like week-long holidays, and I’m always expecting them. It’s so tiresome to study every day, and the weekend is so short for me to relax. In the weekend, there are also a lot of things I have to do such as my paper and social work. But in week-long holidays, I have so much time. I can do everything I’m interested in. B Yes, I agree with you. You can relax in the week-long holidays; you can also have more time to study. I usually make use of a week-long holiday to review my lessons or practice my English. A I prefer week-long holidays, but I don’t like to study in these days. Do you think it’s tiring to continue to study in the holidays? B Everybody would rather not study in weekend holidays, I think. It’s a god-given opportunity to rest. However, for the student whose family is not very rich, I think week-long holidays are negative. A Why? B Obviously, they have no money to spend on a happy holiday. They can’t go out to travel or eat with their classmates and roommates, so they will feel lonely and inferior to other students. In fact, I’m just one of them. I don’t like week-long holidays. A I don’t like week-long holidays either. To some extent, a week-long holiday is an energy-consuming holiday. In week-long holiday, I always have to go shopping or travel with my good friends. Otherwise I would feel lonely if I stay on campus. I’m exhausted after that. B But you can learn a lot through traveling. In a sense, travel is part of education. Besides, during week-long holidays, you can visit museums, galleries and historical places, through which your horizons will be broadened. A I couldn’t agree more. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy", week-long holidays can make us study or work more efficiently. B But don’t forget you’ll have the tendency to forget what has been learned after a week-long holiday, especially English. It’s no good for your study. So we should have a shorter holiday. A The knowledge learnt in the lessons is just part of the knowledge you should learn. There is so much you can’t learn in class. I think the advantages of week-long holidays outweigh the disadvantages. In this sense, week-long holidays are obviously better than shorter holidays. A Why did you say that travel is part of education? B To some extent, travel becomes a human need, because we can gain many benefits from it. It can broaden our vision: we can make many friends while traveling and can also accumulate much knowledge about history, geography, local custom and conventions. Once you have had the pleasure of meeting people of other countries, your thoughts and decisions in the future will be affected by your impression of the people and nations you have visited. No matter how well educated you may be, you will learn a lot during your travels. B What do you think of students who sleep away the whole day in their dormitories during holidays? A I don’t think it’s a good idea. I won’t spend my holiday in this way, because it’s a waste of time. In a holiday we can travel) we can readj we can visit some museums and so on. There are many ways to spend our holidays. Holiday means we can dispose the time by ourselves instead of wasting the time. Time is valuable especially to us university and college students. We can take part in many activities and learn much from these activities. Sleeping all day can’t bring you anything, and you’ll be sleepier if you sleep too long. What’s more, it’s harmful to your health. A Do you think that frequent holidays will make people lazy? Why/ why not? B Yes, I think frequent holidays will make people lazy. On a holiday, people can take part in some leisure activities to relax from tiresome study and work. As a student, I can learn much in the holidays. As a worker, I can regain my energy in holidays. Holidays make students and workers more energetic, so that they can study or work more efficiently. But if there are too many holidays, people would be accustomed to live without the pressure of work or study, and they may not concentrate themselves on study or work. They may keep thinking about how to spend the next holiday. So, I think the number of the holidays should be reasonable, and we should keep a balance between holidays and work. B What do you think of our government’s decision to lengthen certain holidays? A I think the most important reason is that the government wants to gain "Holiday Economy". The lengthy holidays can bring about an unexpected great travel craze and brisk economic activities. It can add fuel to the Chinese economy. Firstly, tourism-based "Holiday Economy" will raise consumption and spending, and therefore, help to spur domestic demand. In addition, it benefits tourism, transportation, catering, hotels and service industries and enables them to thrive during holidays, which in turn adds fuel to the overall economic growth. What’s more, through lengthening certain holidays, people have more time to do what they like to do. They can spend the holiday traveling, going shopping, visiting friends, families or if they like, they can take some courses they are interested in. Anyway, more spare time gives people a better opportunity to enjoy life. A Do you think week-long holidays will increase pressure on transportation? Why/ why not? B Yes, of course. In China, the most popular way is to travel in the week-long holiday. People go to big cities or some beautiful places by plane, train, bus and so on. So, the train is so crowded that it’s very difficult to buy a train ticket, and the bus is also very crowded. There are so many buses and cars in the street. The traffic is really so heavy. In the streets, in the parks, you can see many tourists there. So, in the week-long holidays like May Day, I’d rather stay in my dormitory.
