Body 1
Irrefutably, it is justifiable for some to assert that such a long vacation may bring certain losses. The most conspicuous one is that this may make workers suffer from post-holiday syndrome. To illustrate, excessive vacations may disrupt their daily routines and working habits, rendering it hard for them to rebuild or readapt to the previous established habits. It is a commonplace that workers usually feel dizzy or less self-motivated after long holidays, with their efficiency and productivity declining. However, those problems can be avoided as long as staffs have learned to adjust to their work schedule in advance.
解析
<让步-不应该给长假>：节后综合症：打断正常的生活作息和工作习惯，难以再次全身心投入工作。
Ø conspicuous adj. 明显的
Ø post-holiday syndrome 节后综合征
Ø disrupt vt. 打扰，打断
Ø dizzy adj. 眩晕的
Ø self-motivated adj. 自我勉励的，主动的
Body 2
As a matter of fact, such practice can in effect improve employees’ performance in work. For one thing, the legitimate leave will unwind and revitalise themselves. Workers often feel stressed and pressurised during long time work, and they thus need the time-off to smell the roses and recharge the batteries: accompanying their families to enhance both job and life satisfaction for instance. In this case, they are more energised and motivated after returning. Additionally, the four-week holiday also allows workers to either draw inspiration and spice up their lives by travelling around or enlarge the scope of knowledge and tap their latent potential via attending extra courses, both of which will make them more productive later in work.
解析
<立论-应该有假期> 1. 缓解疲劳，放松身心 ➡️有利于工作;2. 利用长假期来旅行汲取灵感，或参与培训来自我提升➡️有利于工作
