Free Write 3-National Day

October 1^st is our National Day in China. When I was in China I was really really really looking forward to that day because we could have a 7-day-off vacation to celebrate the birthday of the nation. Actually people don’t have a real 7-day-off vacation, but a 3-day-off. In order to stimulate domestic demand, the government tries to make the vacation longer. Hence, it combines two weekends before and after with the 3 days to become a 7-day vacation. With a longer break, families are able to consider a travel far from home, and the travel expenses can bring a large amount of revenue to local people——that is the stimulation of domestic demand. However, we always have to work or go to school for 7 days continuously after the long break to make up the days on vacation. It could be stressful to keep intense in work or study for a long time; and it could be difficult for people to recover from the long break immediately into busy work or study.
