剑5Test2 考官范文

It is quite common these days for young people in many countries to have a break from studying after graduating from high school. This trend is not restricted to rich students who have the money to travel, but is also evident among poorer students who choose to work and become economically independent for a period of time.

The reasons for this trend may involve the recognition that a young adult who passes directly from school to university is rather restricted in terms of general knowledge and experience of the world. By contrast, those who have spent some time earning a living or traveling to other places have a broader view of life and better personal resources to draw on. They tend to be more independent, which is a very important factor in academic study and research, as well as giving them an advantage in terms of coping with the challenges of student life.

However, there are certainly dangers in taking time off at that important age. Young adults may end up never returning to their studies or finding it difficult to readapt to an academic environment. They may think that it is better to continue in a particular job, or to do something completely different from a university course. But overall, I think this is less likely today, when academic qualifications are essential for getting a reasonable career.

My view is that young people should be encouraged to broaden their horizons. That is the best way for them to get a clear perspective of what they are hoping to do with their lives and why. Students with such a perspective are usually the most effective and motivated ones and taking a year off may be the best way to gain this.

• 出去旅行可以开阔视野，储备更多个人资源，结交朋友，锻炼独立性，对于以后继续学习和发展都是有益的

• 工作一段时间不仅能够帮助年轻人积累社会经验，使他们对社会有更加深刻的了解，为以后的工作打下坚实基础

• 不论是工作还是旅行，都能够培养人们的社会意识，丰富人生阅历，拥有成熟的心态去面对人生中的各种挑战。

• 经过一段时间的离开，学生可能很难再重返校园，会发现很难再适应学校的学术氛围，因此便有悖于gap year的初衷

• 高中时期的学生是学习能力最强，也是最宝贵的阶段，如果耽搁一定时间的话，学业进度很容易被耽搁。尤其是在这个对学历有固定要求的社会，不利于学生未来的发展。
