听一分钟英文：Holidays-假日

I love holidays. They are the best thing in the world. The only problem¹ is they are always too short. Even² summer holidays at school aren’t long enough. I recently³ had⁴ an eight-week holiday and it flew⁵ by. It seems⁶ as⁷ though⁸ time goes quickly when we are on holiday, and slowly⁹ when we are at school or work. I always really look forward¹⁰ to holidays – even one-day holidays are great. I live in a country that has many national¹¹ holidays, so there’s always a break around the corner. I feel sorry for some workers who only get two or three weeks holiday a year. They can’t do anything or go anywhere¹². I love holidays even if I don’t go away. Staying at home is just as good as going¹³ on holiday somewhere¹⁴. Sometimes going on holiday is stressful¹⁵.
