Q.
Do you prefer to work or studyinon summer vacation(did the question really use in???) :(
A.
I don’t like to
work or study in summer vacation. (ah, I think you
misunderstood the question!Which is not
your fault, you answered it grammatically correct, but not what toefl is
looking for.With this question it is
asking which do you prefer?To
work?Or to study?You need to pick one over the other).The construction of this sentence should be: I
prefer to work RATHER THAN to study during my summer vacation. Other than that
your construction and line of reasoning are solid.
First of all,
since I used to get stressed out from a
heavy load of school work, I need time to rest.Usually in
on vacation, I take a nap or climb the mountain behind my house.By doing so, I can recharge my energy and
relieve stress.
In addition,
usually my mind gets loosed(not sure what you
are trying to say here? Maybe “my concentration loses focus”)in on vacation,
since I don’t have to go to school.So,
I can’t concentrate on studying anyway.
