Holidays as day off (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

Some people believe that a holiday is just a day off. They are not used to enjoying celebrating holidays.

Personally I prefer having holidays as days off, rather than arranging big celebrations. To begin with, holidays are a great opportunity to relax after a long and exhausting work week. Also, the organization of the holiday takes a lot of time and effort, and I do not consider it necessary. Moreover, during the holiday, you can have a good rest and gain strength, which can not be done in preparation for the holiday. And finally, there are many ways to spend your time quietly and still have fun. For example, you can read a book, listen to music, watch a movie, make a painting, do embroidery or knitting.

However, opponents of this view consider that the holidays must be celebrated. They believe that the holidays must be celebrated with friends and noisy parties are much more interesting than being left alone with yourself and your own thoughts. Such people prefer to celebrate in a public place rather than stay at home.

I completely disagree with this point of view. Sometimes holiday

celebration is unsafe. Many people have a tradition of celebrating in restaurants and bars. Because of alcohol, people stop controlling their actions and sometimes it can end badly. Furthermore, this may end in an embroilment or even a fight.

Taking into consideration all mentioned above, I am convinced that there is no need for large-scale celebrations. Instead of it, you can take up any hobby or spend your time with your family.
