SOME SCHOOL LEAVERS TEND TO GO TRAVELLING OR WORK A PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE GOING TO UNIVERSITY. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?
Before attending university, there is a trend of going to travel or working for an amount of
time
. This
writer believes that by having a gap year, students
could gain practical experience as well as
a relaxing moment for them to focus later but academic knowledge
can be wiped out during this
time
and it would be hard for them to get it back.
Having work to do or exploring a new place could bring them a great deal of information about their surroundings and it is a way to relieve themself. Since the characteristics of each place are different, students
could interact with a new culture and develop a new aspect in themself along with
that working not just becomes a new source of money but also
a practical experience as the students
would have to deal with authentic situations and humans. Eventually, they are highly advantageous than
other Change preposition
to
students
because of their found in the environment around them. For instance
, students
with economic jobs can easily work with statistics better than those who have not experienced those before.
Another consideration from the negative view is that students
would not remember what they learnt during their school years and it is difficult for them to study this
knowledge
. As students
do not use these studies while
in the gap year, they tend to forget and need to tutor them again which could be an essential disadvantage they have to face. Consequently
, their academic scores would not be high as they do not prepare enough for the test and would need extra classes in these fields. For example
, formulas in mathematics are considered long and hard to memorize, they can easily be forgotten with no practice involved.
In conclusion, both ways of using time
have their own pros and cons which could be the replacement of academic knowledge
with practical ones. Hence
, having a gap year could be superior as practical experiences and relaxation time
are valuable while
academic knowledge
can be learnt later.Submitted by [email protected]
