Read
the following article on taking a holiday
and mark () sentences 1 to 7 T (True) or F (False).
We
all look forward to our holiday. It's a
chance to forget about the stress of the
office or the factory and relax for a week
or two. We can then return, feeling healthy
and ready to face the challenge of work
once again. Recent research, however, suggests
that for some people going on holiday might
cause more stress than staying at work.
It's
a particular problem for those people who
find it impossible to relax. For a few weeks
they are living in a different country or
town, with different accommodation and different
people around them. They miss their home,
their friends, their food. And they worry
about things: how much work will I have
when I get back to the office? What's happening
to the house? Are the family enjoying themselves?
There
are also problems caused by spending twenty-four
hours a day with the family. During the
rest of the year, individual members of
the family can get away from each other;
they go to school or work; they see their
friends. But on holiday, they can't do that;
there is no escape. It's not surprising,
then, that there is tension, disagreement,
arguing.
Also,
the theory that most of us return from a
holiday fresh and ready to start work seems
to be largely untrue. Many people feel depressed
about walking back into the office; it often
takes them up to a week to get back to normal.
Some can't stand the thought of work at
all, and call the office to say they are
sick.
But
if all this is true, why do we all think
that holidays are such wonderful things?
The answer is that we lie to ourselves and
our friends. We have spent so much time
and money planning the holiday that we are
scared to admit it was disappointing. 'We
had a great time,' we say, even if the weather
was lousy and the hotel was a dump.
