The New Year is approaching and we will have a three days holiday. Since the last National holiday, it was three months that we haven’t have a holiday, so we are looking forward to it coming. In our office, the status of my colleagues are not in the mood of working. A couple of colleagues have gone on vacations included our boss, so the office are very quiet. In China, the staff in most of the companies are not busy before public holidays, whether it is the same statuses in abroad？
