Hello! I speak American English, so I personally wouldn't utilize the word "holiday" in the sentences above. Regarding sentences #1 and #3, they'll sound a bit more natural with the preposition "of" or "from" before the word "work". For example, "I took three days off of/from work" and "Since my exam is coming up, I'm going to take some days off of/from work".
