Gap year Nowadays, more and more teenagers go to travel or go to work for a year after graduate from senior high school. If the family is rich, students will generally choose to travel while others choose to work. As an old saying, “Travel to many places is better than read numerous books.” Young people can broaden their horizons by travelling to other places. According to making plans of a journey, they can be more considerate. When they go to other countries, they can make friends with various people so that they can experience shocks of culture from different countries. If they choose to work, they can accumulate more social experience and get to know many people which can offer some advices of the major they choose. They can also earn some money to support themselves to study in university. Though taking a gap year is really beneficial, it also has some shortages. Firstly, a student who just graduate from high school travel to other places is too luxury for common family. Further more, it’s totally upside down that some students will choose to work rather than study in university after gap year. None the less, young people is too naive to travel alone. It can be pretty dangerous. In conclusion, the advantages of taking a gap year overweight it’s disadvantages. In my opinion, young people should take a gap year if their family can support because gap year will establish the concept of multiculturalism which will help them understand entire world rather than their own country. It will be so helpful to their rest life.
