In recent years, taking a

gap

year

has aroused a controversial issue among people around the world. Some consider it a good idea for learners to travel or obtain work

experience

while others support their contrast thought. In my perspective, I recommend that students should take a

gap

year

before

college

. On the one hand, students should spend a

gap

year

touring or gaining job

experience

to widen their knowledge, which would help them with a

future

career.

In particular

, travelling would provide them with real

experience

about diverse cultures

such

as food, costumes or festivals around the world, which they

just learnt

Suggestion

had just learned

from the classrooms, textbooks or films in the past.

This

experience

would not only help students to avoid building bias toward a place or

people but

Accept comma addition

people, but

also

build new perspectives about them.

Besides

, gaining work

experience

before

college

would contribute to their resume and help them have more chances when they apply for a well-paid job after graduation.

On the other hand

, some argue that taking a

gap

year

just waste students’ time because of

falling

Suggestion

a falling

-behind feeling as they would start and graduate from

college

year

later than their peers.

However

, a lot of students, in reality, are prone to consider their

college

time as time-consuming

instead

This

thought is because students at high school tend to focus on tests, scores and a lot of subjects without having a clear own

future

orientation.

As a result

, their

college

choice would be much affected by their parents or friends, and after four years, many of them would learn nothing to help their passion or

future

career. Ergo, students would spend a

gap

year

thinking without distraction to sharpen their mind about their strength or desire and

then

to have a precise plan. In conclusion, students should choose to take a

gap

year

to travel or gain work

experience

before

college

to find themselves and enhance their knowledge for their

future

career.

Globalization is creating a world of one culture and destroying national identity. To what extent do you agree with this statement?
In recent times, the United States and the United Kingdom have been promoting the idea of uniting the world under one governance. While some citizens of developed countries support this movement, Africa as a continent stands firmly against it. This essay completely agrees with the stance of the Africans. I believe that uniting all continents will result in a loss of individual identity and the uniqueness of societies.
