Some people believe school children should be given multiple short vacations, while others believe they should get one long vacation. Give the advantages of both and express your own point of view.
Some people argue that schools should give multiple short-duration vacations for school children, while others believe they should be given one extended vacation instead. Although regular mini vacations can help children loosen up and relief stress, I believe that giving a long vacation is beneficial because it allows pupils to properly explore foreign countries.
