the advantages and disadvantages about the gap year

Nowadays,in some countries,more and more students are encouraged to spend a year,often called the gap year,working or traveling after they graduate from high school instead of starting their university study directly.What can young people gain from the gap year and what negative impacts may* the gap year exert?In this essay,I will* discuss them both.

Students who experience the gap year will surely have a broader horizon,which may inspire their enthusiasm towards life.With this strong active emotion,the young will find* it * easier to pursue their dreams even though the way to success is* severely tough.Moreover,a year * of working or traveling can provide perfect chances for the young individuals to get more contact* with the society where communicative and interpersonal skills are cultivated,* which may be of great use in their later study and work life.Furthermore,one year living alone will guarantee those young people a more independent personality.When encountering * difficulties,they may probably explore the methods to tackle the problems by themselves rather than turn to others for help without trying first.

But the fact that the gap year does have scores of advantages are not the same with the assuming "there are all advantages".Danger,however,exists through the whole process.The young who are only pleasure-seeking*  may not want to go back to study academic knowledge in university but to continue this kind of lifestyle.Try to imagine all the participants quitting their study.Who will learn the science and the technology to be the driving force of the development of the whole community?On the other hand,these young individuals who just graduate from high school lack experiences in differentiating good from* evil ,which may put them in a * position to be cheated or even hurt.That is why some parents and teachers are strongly against the gap year.

As the points addressed above,the gap year can bring the young a bright outlook or,on the contrary,a thorough nightmare.So it is wise for individuals to clear the merits and demerits before the step in their gap years.

My first day at work (In humble addition to Tom's excellent corrections)

Last week I started to work as a commercial staff in my new firm. My first impressions are very different (I had various first impressions - bezeichnet das vielleicht besser, genau was Sie ausdrücken möchten). At one side, the staff is very friendly and helpful, on the other side the managing directors are very difficult to handle. I hope to learn a lot about this branche, the company works.

Thank your for your help
