【正确答案】The Major Disadvantages of“Golden Week”Holiday
Travelling during the supposed "golden week" holiday has already become an indispensable part of our recreational activities. However, nowadays a hot debate about the feasibility of "golden week" holiday system is sparked off as well. Despite its apparent benefits of spurring the domestic demands and adding fuel to the thriving service industries, some innate failings of the lengthy holidays convinced me that we should think twice about continuing to implement the system.
To begin with, the travel craze brought about by the "golden-week" holiday puts a heavy burden on the traffic system, causing serious traffic jams and adding greatly to air pollution. A large number of people flood scenic spots, jam railway stations and airports, resulting in pervasive over-crowdedness, vehicle exhaust and safety problems even. Those who are in favor of the "golden week" holiday can not deny all these failings.
In addition, these golden weeks have disrupted people's regular schedule of 5-day weekly. The holiday is increasingly impeding commerce and international trade when it gives a boost to tourism, as many key government agencies, especially those related to customs, tax/tariff collection, and legal affairs, are shut down for seven days.
In conclusion, I believe its disadvantages far outweigh its advantages. These days off should be spread out to other traditional holidays including Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Qingming Festival.
