work or travel before university After high school, students should work at least a year or travel before starting their university. I really agree with this statement. Even though students still should learn booklearning for three or four years in the university, they also should gather some social experience before their college life. After high school, most of the students become adults, and they should leave the schoolyard to go out to watch the world. There are some advantages for students to go out to work for a year. First, students in the high school just study everyday, and the time they make contact with their books are longer than that with persons. Working can let them know how to communitate with others in the society. Only this, can they get along well with their schoolmates that come from many different cities. Second, when the students in the high school, they may live in home, and all the cost in the daily life comes form their parents. They don’t know how hard it is to earn money and may waste badly. When they work in the society and earn money by themselves, they may learn to save money. In a word, working can let the students gather more social experience. On the other hand, travel can make the students know more about the nature. Students may not have been to many places after high school, and they just know many beautiful places by reading books or watching TV. But travel can make them see the beautiful scenery by their own eyes and communicate with the local. Of course, students may meet mang strangers and they should learn to talk with them to know more. This can improve their ability to communicate. After all, I think working and travelling can let the students know more about the society and the nature, and it will have many advantages to their college life. So I agree that students should go to work or travel for at least one year after high school.
