countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day.

However, many companies don’t pay overtimes. Their workers don’t get more money for more work. Some people think
it’s their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don’t work more hours.
Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany,
they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their
vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy.” If that is true,
