Undoubtedly, education plays a significant role in people’s daily lives in many of the places where they work and play. Some people think that it is necessary for high school students to participate in the university’s class during vacation, while others think that visiting historical and monumental places are more beneficial. Both opinions may have their own reasons to support their idea. If I had to choose one, I would say that experiencing various places is better for teenagers because of the reasons as follows. To begin with, when teenage students visit other places, it enables them to relax and recharge their battery. After having long semester, visiting new places such as museums gives them a chance to experience something different from what they would do in their usual routine. A new experience is likely to prevent people from feeling bored in life. For example, when my sister was in high school, she often felt depressed thinking that her life became an exhausting routine. To survive in a competitive world, she spent the whole day studying all academic subject, hoping that she could outdo others. Although she made a constant effort, it was not easy because everyone was working as hard as she was. Fortunately, she was able to deal with such stress and pressure in a safe way by visiting science museum during her summer vacation. By doing this, she could let off some steam and gained the energy to study. Also, when students spend enough time with their friends while visiting other places, they can mingle well with others. Being with others exposes them to different life style, customs, and opinion. Such exposure is likely to help them to acknowledge that different values exist, to understand this diversity, and to ultimately be comfortable with it. For example, many research team, including Tokyo Research Center, analyzed data from two groups of young adults. One group consisted of those who spent their vacation studying and maintaining their hectic schedules, and the other group was made up of those who spent their vacations visiting historical museums. The researcher found that the former was likely to have a lower level of open-mindedness than the later. This implies that traveling other places with others is the key to having good relationships. Without hanging around, one would fail to live in harmony. All thing considered, I strongly believe that the advantages of visiting museums during the vacation far outweigh those of studying university subjects. All in all, relationship cannot be overestimated in the pursuit of one’s happiness. |
