The Importance of Having a Holiday


Holidays are the time we take off work or school. It’s a period of time that can vary in length for different people. We need this time, however short it may be, for ourselves to rehabilitate and conquer the energy we lost.

By having a time-out from work or school, most people can relax properly. They feel happy and relieved to be off work for a little while, away from all the fuss and drama. Sometimes taking a break can help you in your work because your brain has taken a rest and is able to think clearly.

When on holiday, most people like to sleep in, catching up on sleep is not a bad idea, especially if your job requires taking up night shifts. Not getting enough sleep can greatly influence you in different aspects. This is why sleeping in your free time is very good for recharging the energy you lost while working or studying.

For some people it is very hard to meet or talk with their families because they are either too busy with work, too tired or don’t have enough time for these things. When holidays come, it is very easy for families to get together because most of the members of the family don’t have any plans. Meeting with the family you rarely get to see together because someone is always busy, is very good for strengthening the family spirit and making the bond that only families have, stronger.

As a result, holidays have different effects, on different people. Some people like to take a rest to think for themselves and unaddressed issues, some wish to catch up on sleep while others renew their family bonds. Whatever the reason, everyone wants a holiday once in a while.

The Means of Transport I Used in The Holiday

In my holiday I did not know what to do. My mum told me that there will be a new boutique opening in Sylvia Park. Because we had nothing to do we decided to go check it out.

First we decided to take the train but my mum quickly rejected it because my brother can get so excited when he is on a train that he can easily get lost when mum or me divert our eyes for even a second. Then we thought of riding on the bus but we did not really want to because the bus moves a lot and my sister can get sick, so in the end we took the car.  We went past Panmure roundabout and took the third exit. A round about is a traffic circle which allows cars to go to different exits to get to the desired destination. We then went left,  past the traffic lights and drove straight.

Then we went into the Sylvia Park parking place and found a parking spot. The parking places are there so people will be able to leave their car or motorbike under camera surveillance and not have to worry that someone might steal it. Also if every person parks their car in the streets around Sylvia Park there would be a lot of accidents happening.

In the shopping mall itself you have to walk because cars are not permitted to be driven inside the mall. We walked really fast and tried not to bump in a lot of people.If we did not have our Mazda Demio we would have probably missed the wonderful opening and would have walked to and from there and this would greatly tire us and drive us to our limit.

In my opinion transport is so very convenient for everyone because, I can’t imagine having to walk to the train station which is 3 kilometres away from my current position. I personally don’t like that. What about you?
