Reflection 4

Sometimes, many students are decide to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to do the gap year.

Some people recommend students to travel to the world for a year before starting university. Others say that’s  waste of time and money. I will look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of spending a gap year traveling after school.

Many students think that gap years can them to gain experience for the life and work before starting university. Some student decide to travel abroad to study the languages, like what I did when I traveled to England to study English language before I went to college.

I think the Emiratis student can’t take a gap year, because nowadays it’s hard to find the job in our country. Also most of them can’t manage their own time.

I think that’s a good idea to take a gap year for study like what I did, but it’s a bad decision to stop a year to travel and to work because it will impact on academic performance in the future.

In conclusion, i think time is a valuable resource at any age. There are a number of good alternatives to taking a gap year immediately after school: studying abroad, interning or working in abroad once you have completed studies.
