Some young people look forward to a year of travelling, a 'gap year'; before they begin work or university and see it as a chance to broaden their horizons. For others this is an expensive waste of time. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
It is claimed that some students take a gap year to travel from graduation from school or university, before a new important chapter in their life. However, others believe it is just a waste of time, so more effective would be not to miss 12 months and start studying or working straight away. From my point of view, the first option is a great opportunity to get to know yourself and understand what you really want in this life.

In your letter •Say which points in the article you agree with •Explain ways in which your town centre is different from most other town centres •Offer to give a guided tour of your town to the writer of article.
I am writing in response to your recent article titled "The Homogenisation of Town Centres Across the Country." While I acknowledge the author’s observation that many town centres exhibit similar characteristics, I believe the conclusion oversimplifies the diversity that still exists in these urban spaces.
