As an important part of an adult’s life, working has always arouse heated discussions. One topic is whether it is better to work for three days each week for longer hours or for five days. From my perspective, the latter is more enjoyable.

First and foremost, working five days per week will lead to less pressure. Though the working patterns are different, workers must finish the same amount of total work. If people only work three days each week, they have to do more things in one day. Therefore, it may impose strict demands on workers, like being highly efficient and being more self-disciplined. As a result, people may feel much more stressed. And the pressure may lead to both physical and mental problems.

Besides, workers can gain pleasure and lessons through working which they cannot obtain in their spare time. I did an internship in one summer holiday, I could talk with my co-workers, which added color to my daily routine and made me build friendship with them. Also, doing tasks that required me to meet people in different departments and communicate with them helped me improve my communication skills and learn how to get along with different people.

Some people believe that working three days will make people have more spare time, during which they can do what they like . In fact, these two situations’ total break time is almost the same. However,  working five days can leave workers with more free time every day to prepare for the next day. Therefore, this can provide people with more efficient rests. There is another problem that it may be hard for peopleto go back to their job if they rest for too long.

Considering the three aspects, I am strongly convinced that working five days each week is more reasonable.
