The Ways People Spent Their Holidays
As is illustrated in the chart, people’s choices of spending their holidays have changed over the past ten years. The proportion of travelling abroad has increased considerably from 15% to 25%, while the proportion of people going to the seaside has declined slightly from 40% to 35%. The most drastic change occurred in the proportion of people staying at home, demonstrating a plunge of 25%, which was followed by the boom of camping tripling from 10% to 30%.
In my opinion, there are a couple of reasons for this phenomenon. For one thing, with the improvement of the living standard, people now have more options to spend their holidays, and travelling abroad, if affordable, is a good way to broaden their horizons. For another, we can deduce from the chart that camping is gradually taking the place of the beaches to become people’s first choice. The reason may consist in the fact that privacy is now taken into consideration, and the crowded seaside is apparently not a good choice to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.
In a word, ways to spend holidays are closely related to social and psychological transformations which deserve our reflection.

Some people argue that it’s necessary to postpone the retirement age in that it is a good way to deal with the aging population. One of the direct results of the aging society is a drop in the labor force supply, which can be relieved by postponing the retirement age. However, other people hold a negative view about it. For one thing, this reform could raise, the pressure of social employment, especially for the present severe situation. For another, it may diminish the senior’s leisure time and the probability of the retired people enjoying their retirement pension.
For my part, we should take the level of the reform and the elders’ interest into consideration so that a clearer perspective of the debate ca
