#high-school #students #gap #year #university
Some people believe that pupils had better take a
gap
year
 between school and university. From my perspective, I completely agree with
this
 view. It is true that a
gap
year
 is a great occasion for students to have more me-
time
. We have
time
 to reflect on ourselves about our abilities. Working for different careers is a good way to find out our strengths, weaknesses and hobbies so that we can understand which major or field is suitable for us and
then
 make one special plan for our future.
This
 is
also
 a
time
 we reward ourselves after twelve years learning. We enjoy our life by
traveling
the act of going from one place to another
travelling
 to another place or doing some exciting challenges that we have no chance to do before.
Besides
, we will make a better preparation after a
gap
year
. We spend
this
time
 earning money to pay fees when coming back to school. Because we have to leave far from our family,
besides
 tuitions we
also
 pay
costs
Suggestion
the costs
 of living
such
 as food, drink, transports and dwelling.
In addition
, we will acquire more knowledge and improve our skills. By going to new lands, we are exposed to many cultures and people so we can learn new things, experiences and skills from them. Experiences and skills are good points when applying for a job. In conclusion,
gap
Suggestion
the gap year
a gap year
year
 is an ideal opportunity for students to have more
time
 to do whatever we want and to prepare better for our future. I believe that there should be a
