6 B

Below is an opinion paragraph on ‘making plans for summer holidays’. Read the sentences
carefully and pay attention to colors. Then, match the colors with their functions in the text.

In my opinion, students should consider social and psychological factors while they are
making plans for the summer holidays. Firstly, summer holidays are for relaxation,
refreshment and energy for the new academic year. If students do not enjoy and relax
themselves, they may feel fed up and their performances may go down during the
academic year. Secondly, young people, especially students, need to learn about real life
and improve their life skills for themselves and the society. Although school presents
them with these skills, they need to learn more and practise in everyday life, outside
school. Finally, parents and relations feel the emotional need for spending time together.
Students cannot take enough time to share things with parents and relations during the
academic year and there becomes an emotional gap, and the summer holidays give the
most chance. To sum up, summer holidays are very important to satisfy social and
psychological needs outside school and students should cover them in their holiday plans.
