19、One great need in the lives of most people is change and variety（多样化），so holidays play an important part in our lives．We work hard during the year，so we feel tired and stressed（有力的）at times．We need holidays to relax，even if they only last for a few days This is especially true for women who，if they could get away from their husbands，children and family for even one week in the year，would feel much happier．

Holidays have many good results．Firstly，they can improve the economy（经济）．If there were no holidays，people would have little time to spend the money they earn．Secondly，holidays allow people to relax after working hard throughout the year．During and after the holidays，people feel more relaxed and energetic；they then bring this energy to work when they continue working．Lastly，holidays help people learn how to enjoy life．Most people improve their relationships with their other family members during holidays．

However，holidays also have bad aspects（方面）For example，many people said that they couldn’t enjoy shopping or travelling because there were so many people shopping and travelling，too．Anyway，most people realize that they need holidays．I can’t imagine what people’s lives would be like if there were no holidays．
