　　Vacation time allows you to experience physical and emotional benefits. You may have many things on your to-do list and truly want to do your best job and feel accomplished in the end of the day. But you also want to stay healthy and energetic. That’s why you’re in need of a vacation. Once you’ve dedicated all your time and energy to work and daily tasgh, leaving them for a while doesn’t seem like the right thing to do. You may think that things will get out of control, or that you’ll be left behind and will have to hurry even more after that.
　　But these are minor issues considering the actual benefits of vacations. Here are some of them.
　　Taking a vacation helps you reduce stress.
　　There’s nothing like leaving the stressful environment of your daily life and entering a new world, full of excitement. The study carried out by American Sociological Association shows that a bigger number of vacations leads to a decline in the psychological unhappiness of people.
　　It helps you grow spiritually.
　　One of the most important aspects of having a vacation is that you get to rself better. You learn new things throughout the journey, but you also experience changes on the inside. And once you get back to reality, you can benefit from these by trying new techniques to be more productive in life and in business, for example.
　　You improve your mental health.
　　It’s great for your brain too. Seeing new places and putting yourself in an unfamiliar environment are great for expanding your horizons, but it also improves your thinking and creativity.
　　You connect with nature.
　　According to a study from the University of Exeter Medical School in Britain, being closer to green space improves your mental health right away, and that effect can be sustained(保留) for longer. All these are great. And people who frequently travel (even if it’s not abroad), live a much happier life and are more productive.

　　Tilt (使倾斜)the note a little and you will see the Eastern Spinebill, an Australian bird, beating its wings as if trying to fly away. Turn the bill from side to side, and you will notice the picture of a small building at the bottom of the note spins, and the image of M5W changes position. While these moveable features are impressive and entertaining，that was not the reason Australian government officials spent ten years developing them.
