Passage A

Holidays in the United State usually occur at least once a month. Most months have a national holiday that been arranged to be celebrated on a Monday. The holidays have all been decided to be celebrated on Mondays so that the workers may have a 3-day weekend ---that is, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in order to rest or travel or do things with their families. Major holidays in the United States such as New Year’s Day or Christmas Day or the day, when we remember the first settlers of the United States, called Thanksgiving Day are celebrated all over the country. During these holidays most business close and the works stay home and celebrate with their families.

Vacation can be from 2 weeks a year to 4 weeks a year. This usually depends on how long you’ve working for a company, what type of position you have, whether you have a very high position or a very important position and it’s difficult to find someone to replace you. In this case, you might take a few days at a time rather than taking one month all at once. Usually the more time you spend working for a company, the more time you may go for a vacation.
