25:忙碌的时刻1. Do children need long holidays from school?In my country, school life can be so stressful and full of pressure that having long vacations is essential. Holidays should give students the opportunity to do many things that they don"t have time to do during school terms, such as pursuing extra-curricular hobbies, spending time with friends and family members and generally having a bit more time to have fun and relax. Unfortunately, school holidays are usually full with homework, extra tuition classes and other academic events that teachers and parents organize to help their children and students to get a head of the competition.True holidays from school don"t really exist for most students in China!2. Do very young children in your country work too hard at school?In my opinion, very young children work much too hard in my country. Too much emphasis is placed upon children to perform well in school from a very early age, and compared to other countries around the world, primary school students are expected to complete much more homework and pass far more exams. This puts a huge amount of pressure on the children, who don"t want to let their parents or teachers down, and in addition, children are so overworked that they don"t have time for the enjoyable things that kids from other nations can do in their free time after school and on weekends.3. Do young children learn more from playing than from classroom lessons?It"s difficult to judge whether children learn more from playing than from classroom lessons, as children have unique learning styles and all learn in different ways. Some learn best by seeing things visually, others from hearing things verbally and others from trying practical things themselves. I definitely believe, however, that in my country, too much emphasis is placed on academic study, usually at the expense of play. Children can learn so much from playing, especially learning how to interact with their peers and how to build friendships so I think kids should be given more time and freedom to play more regularly.4. What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a lot to do at work?The obvious disadvantages of having a lot of work are that having a heavy workload can result in high stress levels which can have a negative effect on people"s relationships as well as their physical and mental health. That being said, there are also many positives. Being busy keeps your mind active and can give people a strong sense of self-worth. Being busy also probably means doing a wide variety of tasks, which enables people to become proficient in a number of different areas, and this can result in promotions at work and higher paid positions in the future.5. What does the impact of time pressure have on the quality of work people do?I think that this really depends on the personality of the employee. Some people thrive under pressure and actually perform better knowing that they have a specific deadline to meet. Others, on the other hand, find it difficult to deal with time constraints and tend to panic when they know something has to be done before a certain time. I think that part of being a good boss means knowing which employees respond positively to deadlines and which ones don"t, but I think in today"s world where everything is done much faster than in the past, being able to deal with time pressure is a crucial skill.编辑：Moon▼IDE英创教育
