答案 The Advantages of Having a Gap Year Many high-school leavers are now willing to take a gap year before they enter a university to pursue their study. This option is quite popular among students in the West. I think we should encourage students to do the same in China. First of all, a gap year will help students gain valuable knowledge that is not taught in textbooks. By traveling to exotic countries, students learn about the diversity of cultures and customs. By working in local businesses, they learn how to deal with different people and work under pressure. These experiences are seldom taught in high school but are naturally accumulated in the gap year. Secondly, a gap year gives students an alternative perspective to decide if they should continue learning in college. Many high school students are actually "forced" or "coaxed" to pursue college learning. By taking a gap year, students would be able to experience what it is like to be working or surviving on their own. They would know whether they are ready to work, ready to support themselves. Chances are that many of them realize the lack of professional knowledge and decide to enter a university to acquire more knowledge, willingly. In conclusion, a gap year is beneficial to gain a wealth of experience and a unique insight of whether to continue with college education.
