READING

I love holidays. They are the best thing in the world. The only problem is they are always too short. Even summer holidays at school aren't

long enough. I recently had an eight-week holiday and it flew by. It seems as though time goes quickly when we are on holiday, and slowly when we are at school or work.

I always really look forward to holidays – even one-day holidays are great. I live in a country that has many national 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 anywhere. I love holidays even if I don't go away.
