问题     The length of the holiday that an employee receives per year varies from job to job.
    Do you think people should have the same amount of holidays regardless of their occupations? Give reasons for your answer.
选项
答案     Nowadays, people are enjoying more and longer holidays and some people advocate that people should have the same length of holiday regardless of their occupations. They hold that it is unfair for people not to rest for the same length of time even though they have worked as hard. They even regard this as a human rights issue, just like women’s right to vote. But taking into account the characteristics of different professions, we may examine this issue from another angle.
    As we know, jobs vary from one another in their labour intensity, so that people in different occupations may have a different kind and amount of leisure time to refresh themselves. For example, blue-collar workers may work longer hours and physically tired, while white-collar workers such as doctors and teachers are more mentally stressed. Therefore they can not work continuously as long as those physical labour workers. Generally speaking, it needs more time to pull through the mental weariness than physical tiredness.
    Secondly, different tasks and duties are required for different professions, which results in the varieties of holiday periods for people in different walks of life. Some employees cannot have their legal holidays and even have to work overtime, such as policemen, construction workers and people in the service line. This kind of professions just can’t be interrupted for a moment; otherwise the society will be in a mess. Even for some people in the same occupations, they can not have the same holidays entitled to them due to many factors out of human control, such as special assignments, health conditions, etc., then not to say people in different fields.
    Thirdly, with the development of science and technology, the ways people work are gradually changing. Computer experts make their programmes, doctors give patients diagnosis and tutors give students instructions at home through optical-fabric cable connections, which saves them much time. Consequently, it may be quite natural for these people to have more leisure than their colleagues who still have to take buses to go to work. In another word, the way people work is not fixed so that they need different holiday phases.
    All the above suggest that we can not come to the simple conclusion that the different length of holiday time indicates unfairness. We may discover that is it neither possible nor reasonable to apply this belief to practice.
