问题     Should students take a gap year to travel or work after finishing high school or go to university directly? This has been an intensely discussed question for years. The following are the supporters’ and opponents’ opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue.

    Yes:
    Spending one year travelling or working can broaden students’ horizons and enrich their knowledge to understand the world better. It is a great opportunity for them to gain exposure to a new environment and meet different types of individuals with diverse backgrounds. Sometimes they can even learn about the culture and custom of other countries.
    Taking a gap year can help students accumulate social experience. They can not only enhance their personal abilities, but also learn more about the society.
    The travel or work experience enables students to have a clear perspective of their own career development. It is not an easy task for high-school graduates to make a right choice about their major at university since high schools always emphasize academic development.
    No:
    Parents are worried about students’ safety when they spend one year travelling or working. It is inevitable for those young students to get into trouble of one kind or another when taking a gap year. Besides, they are too young to cope with emergencies well or protect themselves from getting hurt, which might have a negative impact on their future development.
    It is not easy to implement this plan since not every student can find a good job or afford the travel after graduating from high school because of the global economic downturn.
    Some may give up their academic development after taking a gap year, which is not a wise decision for most students. It is unlikely for a graduate with only a high-school degree to find an ideal job with high income.

答案 Should Students Take a Gap Year after Graduating from High School? Traditionally, students choose to go to university directly after graduating from high school. However, taking a gap year to travel or work has gained a growing popularity among high school graduates in recent years. Admittedly, students can benefit a lot from taking a gap year. Firstly, taking a gap year enables students to learn things which wouldn’t be taught in school. Besides, it enriches students’ social experience. Finally, young graduates can gain a clearer idea about their future development, so that they can be best prepared for it. However, opponents think it’s not necessary for students to take a gap year before going to university. To begin with, young students have little experience in dealing with emergencies, which may put them at risk and sometimes even endanger their future development. In addition, taking a gap year is such a costly thing that many students can’t afford it. What’s worse, some students may lose the opportunity to enter into a high quality university, which may affect their whole life. In my view, young people should be encouraged to take a gap year before starting their university life so as to have a better understanding of themselves and the world.
