雅思写作范文:gap year
It is quite common these days for young people in many countries tohave a break from studying after graduating from high school.The trend is not restricted to rich students who have the money to travel, but is also evident among poorer students who choose to work and become economically independent for a period of time.
The reasons for this trend may involve the recognition that a young adult who passes directly from school to university is rather restricted in terms of general knowledge and experience of the world.By contrast, those who have spent some time earning a living or traveling to other places, have a broader view of life and better personal resources to draw on.They tend to be more independent, which is a very important factor in academic study and research, as well as giving them an advantage in terms ofcoping with the challenges of student life.
However, there are certainly dangers in taking time off at that important age.TS Young adults may end up never returning to their studies or finding it difficult to readapt to an academic environment. They may think that it is better to continue in a particular job, or to do something completely different from a university course.But overall I think this is less likely today, when academic qualifications are essential for getting a reasonable career.
My view is that young people should be encouraged to broaden their horizons.That is the best way for them to get a clear perspective of what they are hoping to do with their lives and why. Students with such a perspective are usually the most effective and motivated ones and taking a year off may be the best way to gain this.
