About five years ago, Chinese government made the decision of canceling the Golden Week, which is a long holiday for the working people. Such decision has caused the public’s heat discussion. Long holidays give people the time to relax, while long holidays have draws, too.

大约五年前，中国的政府做了一个决定—取消黄金假期，黄金假期是劳动者的长假期。这样的决定已经引起了大众的热议。长假期让人们有时间休息，然而长假期也有不好。
On the one hand, long holidays provides the time for working people to go home and stay with family. Most people go to work far away from their homes, the far distance causes them lack of enough time to visit parents on weekends. So if they want to spend time with family, long holidays will be needed. Chinese tradition pays special attention to the family union, the long days of vacation give people the chance to stay with family.
一方面，长假期为工作的人提供了时间回家，和家人呆在一起。大部分人在远离家的地方工作，长远的距离让人们周末没有足够的时间拜访父母。因此如果他们想要和家人呆在一起，就得有长假期。中国的传统特别注重家庭团聚，长时间的假期让人们有机会和家人呆在一起。
On the other hand, long holidays provides the time for people relax and go for travel, the flooded with tourists in the scenic sites and spots damage the preservation of historic things. We see from the news that when holiday comes, the famous tourist site are full of people, the purpose of enjoying the scenery is being missed, we only see numerous heads.
另一方面，长假期给予了人们时间放松和旅行，成群的人在景区的拥挤破坏了历史文物。我们从新闻上看到当假期到来的时候，出名的景区人满为患，欣赏风景的目的没了，我们只看到无数的人头。
Though long holiday have pros and cons, I believe that long vacation is better than short vacation, people need to relax from long time’s work.
虽然长假期有好和不好的方面，我相信长假期比短假期好，人们需要在长期的工作中放松。
