A seven day long holiday has flown away.Mourning my happy hours during the
vacation,I`ve been looking forward to winter holidays.People around me seemed
to have enjoyed the vacation,too.Then,is it fair that people have the same
amount of holidays regardless of their occupations?
Nevertheless,divergent
views emerge on the matter in question.Some people are of the opinion that
laborers should have the same length of holiday.They hold the view that people

otherwise.At first sight,it may seem to be an attractive idea,but it doesn`t
bear much analysis.
To begin with,people do different kinds of jobs
featuring different labor intensity and so the time needed to refresh their
physical condition varies.For example,blue collar workers may work longer
