China to Implement 2.5-Day Weekends This Summer
The State Administration of Tourism is mulling over a new plan to create two-and-a-half day weekends across the country sometime by the summer. The idea is to give employees more family time and also stimulate tourism. A number of provinces and municipalities across China, including Hebei, Jiangxi and Chongqing, have issued new policies, calling on companies to create 2.5-day weekends.
Since being announced in November, the idea has begun gaining traction. "It’s a good thing for us, because we can obviously take more time to relax." "I think it’s a good idea. There are so many people commuting on Fridays. The traffic is usually very crowded."
Liu Simin, Deputy Secretary General of the Beijing Tourism Society, says having 2.5-day weekends can help satisfy people’s desire for more short trips. However, he notes the new policy is limited in scope. "Three key points contained in this plan suggest it’s only a benefit for a certain group of people. Firstly, it’s not a rule, but rather a suggestion. Secondly, the plan is conditional. Lastly, it’s only applied to the summer months, rather than to all year. Because of these stipulations, the coverage of the 2.5-day weekends is going to be very limited."
Under the provisions, a 40-hour working week is still required, meaning employees who get 2.5-day weekends are going to have to make up the hours somewhere else during their week.

答案
No Need to Implement 2.5-Day Weekends 2.5-day weekends in summer has aroused a debate among the public as it concerns people’s family time and vacation plans. Many people believe that longer weekend will bring us more time to relax and boost tourism industry. However, this plan is only applied in summer and is not compulsory for all companies, so it has limited stimulation for tourism. From my perspective, 2.5-day weekends should not be adopted in China. Firstly, even though the plan is partially designed to encourage "leisure time," people are not necessarily given more time to spend with their families, because they need to make up the hours somewhere else during their week. So the plan does not make any sense if workers need to wake up earlier and stay up late during the other four days. Secondly, it is not worthwhile wasting a half day on Friday. If employees are allowed to take off at noon on Friday, it means most workers will be in a state of weekend in the morning on Friday, which may cause low efficiency in work. Meanwhile, companies will lose half-day productivity which is a great loss for small and medium enterprises. So we can predict that most private enterprises will not implement this non-compulsory policy. All in all, 2.5-day weekends are neither necessary nor viable in China. So our weekend should be two days again this summer, same as they were ever.
解析
本题给出的材料是针对是否应当推行两天半周末进行讨论,呈现了两种不同的观点。根据题目要求,先总结双方的观点,再给出自己的看法。文章可按下列结构来安排:
第一段:先整合概括正反双方的观点,然后表明自己的论点——在中国,不应采取两天半周末。
第二段:陈述自己的理由。首先,两天半周末并不能真正带来更多休息时间;第二,两天半周末实际上会造成半天工作时间的浪费。
第三段:总结全文——在中国,两天半周末不可行。
