8860 / IELTS ESSAYS AND LETTERS
Some people say that people should have different amount of holiday
according to their jobs. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this
opinion?
The development of industrialization and the amazing improvement of
working efficiency render people more chances to enjoy holidays in the
current society. Suppose you are making a trip to a place totally strange to
you. The first thing you do is to find yourself accommodation and lodging.
But you will feel disappointed the moment you arrive with the situation that
all hotels, restaurants, stores and even banks are closed because of an
important holiday, such as Christmas Day or Thanksgiving Day. At this
moment, you are in the same boat as Robinson Crusoe who was abandoned
on a lonely island without any help or hope.
To erase the embarrassment, some corporations and governments work out
some flexible and feasible holiday policies, providing people with
convenience. Shifting is often adopted by factories and manufacturers
because it guarantees timely fulfillment of production targets and orders on
the one hand and gives employees sufficient time for relaxation on the other.
If needed, employees have to work overtime, with a bonus as a
compensation for the holiday they missed.
For banks and other public services, things are quite different. Holidays are
prime time for supermarkets, department stores, restaurants, and retailers.
Some people like holding parties or having feasts with their friends at the
weekends, and other people prefer to go shopping in department stores,
which will take great profits to merchandisers. With large amounts of cash
flow, banks must keep open from Monday to Sunday.
Teachers enjoy very long holidays during an academic year because they
can prepare their lectures and lessons for the new semester and relax
themselves during the holiday. Long holidays are not only beneficial to
teachers' health but also to students.
Considering the different characteristics of people's employments, I think
that different people should have different amounts of holidays. At the first
sight, this idea sounds unfair. But on second thoughts, it is reasonable and
understandable.
