IELTS essay - 25/01 Hi everybody. I am studying to take the IELTS test. I am practicing the writing task, so I wrote the following essay. I appreciate any correction or comment to write it better. Some people think that students who don’t take a break in studies between the high school and the university are at disadvantage compared to students who travel and work after high school before further continuing their education. Do you agree or disagree? Finishing your high school is not only a very important milestone in your live, but also the moment to take an important decision for your future life: take a break and work and travel or start your university studies immediately. Some people argue that is advisable to take a break in studies between the high school and the university in order to get work experience and life experience. Those who disagree point out that you cannot waste your time in the nowadays globalized world. The earlier you start your university studies, the earlier you will finish them. Today’s world is going at a rapid pace in every human aspect. Companies are demanding young professionals with innovative ideas but whit professional experience. Finishing your career at a young age, can give you the opportunity to get professional experience earlier and fulfill the global job market. In addition, starting the university studies right after you finish your high school, will avoid the risk to decide to not get a professional diploma. Statistics have shown that 15% of the people who take a break after high school finally do not enroll into any university program. However, taking a break between the high school and the university gives you the opportunity to work, travel and learn other languages and other cultures. It is a fact that people who speak more than a language get a better performance in their university studies. Most of the academic resources are written in English. Moreover, an academic exchange or an international internship can be reached only by bilingual people. In addition, a travel experience can improve your personal traits and personality. Sharing experiences whit people from other country, with a different people, enrich your vision of the world. In conclusion, I think that it is advisable to work, travel and learn another language before starting university studies. This gives you an advantage in terms of knowledge and maturity over those who start the university right after finishing the high school.
