Question

These days, more and more students in the UK are taking a “gap year”between their graduation from school and their university studies. This means they can take a year off to do something else, before they start their studies.

For most students, spending time in foreign countries is the favorite activity --- and Australia is the favorite place to go.

Many parents, teachers and business people agree that travelling can teach important values.

“After a year of travelling, I felt I’d grown up. I had learnt the importance of relationships with people, on all kinds of levels.”

There are many companies around the world that welcome these students on their projects---helping people in poorer countries, or even in your home country. Although you don’t get paid for your work, this kind of work can teach important skills---decision making and finding answers to problems, for example---that will help many students in a job one day.

Finally, getting some knowledge and experience in an area you hope to study or work in one day will always be very useful.

If several university graduates are applying(申请) for the same job, gar year work experience allows you to say,

“ I’ve already had some experience of this kind of work.” And that can get your job.
