In some countries young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting University studies. Discuss the advantage and disadvantage for young people who decide to do this.
In some cultures, high school leavers are encouraged to embark on adventures before new-start.
This
tendency is not only in rich people going on holiday for pleasure but also
in poor people working for earning money during the gap year
. In this
essay, I will discuss whether this
trend has more benefits or more problems.
The main advantage is by travelling by themselves, youngsters can learn practical skills and broaden their minds. Because the life of students are
tied down by preparing for the final exam and limited their potential by parents' protection, they could not have time to learn practical skills, Change the verb form
is
such
as making their own decisions on planning their accommodation, food and attractions to visit based on their budget. Furthermore
, as expensive university fees, some students who work for a year
can accumulate some fenthermental funds to support themselves in studying university. As well as that, with a job, they can have hands-on experience with how business flows and learn how to manage their finance earlier than others.
Despite these advantages, having a gap year
can negatively impact young adults. Firstly
, they are more likely to be exposed to serious dangers, for example
, recent some European teenagers visited some Asian countries for backpacking and got missed for decades. Secondly
, there is a high possibility that students do not come back to their academic path as they planned, because of the new challenges.
In conclusion, although
having a gap year
seems educational and economical compared to starting study at a university straight away, however
it is important to be aware that there are severe risks such
as missing people, injuries and robbery in foreign countries and a high chance of lower attendance rate to go back to the academic trail.Submitted by amyheo92 on
