There are some reasons why I hold my point of view.
Firstly, several short vacations allow students to recharge energy better than student take the long vacation. To illustrate this, think of a student who have has a two-months' to have vacation. He will travel on for one months; the rest of days he will come back to spend preparing for restarting to school. This is not a waste of a lot of time for preparing to adjust themselves like others who take long vacation. (I don’t understand this sentence) Moreover, the students who take a short-term vacation are more refreshed and eager to study, whereas the students who take a long vacation are more lethargic and have less energy to study.
Secondly, recollection of knowledge is easier for the students who have several short vacations. Because they take a short break about one or 2 weeks from school, so all the old things which they had learned in before term, are still remembered, while the long vacation makes students forget old lessons from one or two months ago. Owing to short vacation, students not only remember old lessons, but also help to rely on them to understand new lessons easier and remember more deeply.
Finally, several short vacations allow students to utilize time wisely and do more things. For example, they recognize which subject they are weak in, and in during the short vacation, they will attend to review the course. Likewise, in the next break time, they can/will use their free time to attend to painting class or music class painting or music classes. This will help them to enhance their knowledge significantly. Furthermore, they also do more things such as hanging out with their friends, visiting relatives, helping their fathers repaint or repair fence. (to do some repairs)
To sum up, although taking a long vacation may sound more fun, for the reason above, there is no doubt in my mind that having several short vacations is better for students than having long vacation throughout the year. Students are able to recharge energy and rest between two semesters, remember old lessons easily. In addition, they can utilize time wisely and do more things.
