HOLIDAY ESSAY 4 (500 WORDS)
Introduction
Holidays hold immense importance in a person’s life. Be it a student, a working professional 
or a businessman – everyone wants a break from their work. Holidays provide this much 
awaited break. They are also important for many other reasons.
Importance of Holidays for Students
Holidays are a time when we can finally take a break from our otherwise hectic routine and 
follow our hobbies and interests. I always make it a point to join a hobby course during 
holidays. I love art and craft and thus join different art and craft classes to hone my skills in 
the same. Last year, I joined glass painting classes, prior to that I joined pottery classes and 
this year I am planning to learn the art of candle making. My friends also join different 
classes as per their interest. Some of them join dance classes, others join vocal/ instrumental 
music while yet others join sports such as skating, swimming and basket ball.
Holidays are also a time when we can socialise with friends and relatives and spend time 
with our family. I love family outings. We plan at least one family trip during summer 
vacations. I am also allowed to go over to my friends place to spend the day every once in a 
while. I also love the time when my cousins come over to stay at my place. Those days are 
particularly the best part of the summer vacations.
Most importantly, holidays are a time when we can relax and understand how to improve our 
skills to perform better in our exams as well as other activities. I make sure that I set aside at 
least 2-3 hours a day to study during the vacations. This helps me keep pace with my studies 
as I join back. Importance of Holidays for Working People
Working professionals and businessmen also yearn for holidays. But they do not get long 
vacations like the school and college going kids. However, whatever little break they get 
they must make the most of it by indulging in the activity of their choice.
Working professionals mostly have long working hours these days. Many people even 
require working after they get back home from their work place. This hectic professional life 
often takes a toll on their personal life. They are hardly able to spend any time with their 
family members and this result in conflicts and strained relationships. Holidays give them an 
opportunity to spend time with their family to strengthen the bond. It is a good idea to plan a 
family vacation. Socialising is also very important and this can also be done during holidays 
as the hectic work routine does not allow any room for it during the regular days. It is a good 
time to meet one’s friends and relatives. Holidays are also a time to relax and focus on one’s 
physical as well as mental health.
Conclusion
Holidays are important as they help in maintaining a balance between our personal and 
professional life. We must spend them wisely to make the most of them.
