In some countries, young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to do this.

There is a suggestion that youngsters who are preparing for their

university

should take a gap

year

to do some work or go someplace. In my opinion, the disadvantages of

this

phenomenon far outweigh the advantages in equal measure. The first drawback of

this

trend is that

students

who spend one

year

on other activities are wasting their valuable duration.

This

means that the

time

when they’re preparing for their

university

is the best

time

and the most suitable

time

for them to concentrate on their study, if they leaf their studies, even just a

year

, it would be hard to come back to their study. A

further

argument is that they would not graduate on

time

if they took a gap

year

,

and

leading to following their peers, who are the same age. Despite the negatives mentioned above, it seems to me that spending a

year

doing something else is a negative development.

Firstly

, these

students

could undergo some part-

time

jobs or visit some scenery places to enhance their social knowledge and open their minds.

For example

, if they applied for

university

instantly, they would not have an opportunity to connect with the outside environment, leading to a lack of social knowledge.

Furthermore

, some

students

who are from lower-income families have to effort to earn money in order to cover the tuition fee. In many

university

institutions, the high teaching quality and modern facilities always required high tuition,

hence

, to gain an education with better quality, they have to work before becoming the first

year

student. In conclusion,

students

should make a decision to decide whether to take a gap

year

or continue to apply for college activities that rely on their situation.
