Listen to the reading passage

In my opinion, students should consider social and psychological factors while they are making plans for the summer holidays. Firstly, summer holidays are for relaxation, refreshment and energy for the new academic year. If students do not enjoy and relax themselves, they may feel fed up and their performances may go down during the academic year. Secondly, young people, especially students, need to learn about real life and improve their life skills for themselves and the society. Although school presents them with these skills, they need to learn more and practise in everyday life, outside school. Finally, parents and relatives feel the emotional need for spending time together. Students cannot take enough time to share things with parents and relatives during the academic year and there becomes an emotional gap, and the summer holidays give the most chance. To sum up, summer holidays are very important to satisfy social and psychological needs outside school and students should cover them in their holiday plans.
