【个人倡议】：一个学生给学校写信给校报建议学校应add a three-day fall break just before midterm in each fall semester。这样做有两个好处：1、students can relax themselves during the break。2、they can get some time off to prepare for the their projects。
【学生态度】：男生同意此建议。理由1、this suggestion is especially good for the first year students who needs some time to get adjusted to their college life. Both the way to live and the study pace are different from that of a high school。Students, especially for 1st year student. 可利用这三天假期to relax。理由2、期中midterm很忙，一个星期考几门exams，有时候they will also have so many projects or research papers to complete。学生们可use the time to do assignment and research来finish their projects and papers。The male student gives an example of his history class。
