are some countries (2) there are no laws
about holidays, such as the United States In the countries
which do have laws, full-time workers in France and
Finland have the most time (3) They get
thirty whole days!

time Some workers never take holidays! They think that
if they didn’t stay and work, something terrible
(4) happen This makes their lives very
stressful When these workers do go (5)
holiday, they often take work with them and check their
emails That means they never forget about work and relax

things relax the mind and increase happiness They even improve physical health and prevent
serious illnesses
So if you know somebody who needs a holiday, let them know why they really should take one
