In western countries after secondary school, students very often do not continue immediately with their studies, but they take a one year break, called a gap year, when they travel or do voluntary work. Write an argumentative essay presenting arguments for and against the gap year.
:
In todays world of fierce competition, it is important for young people to get well-prepared for the challenges of the future. Thus the institution of gap year can be regarded as a step in the right direction though it is also not without its problems.
In its favour, the gap year seems to be useful psychologically as it helps young people understand their needs and interest better before they actually commit themselves to any particular career path. Besides, the gap year has educational advantages because it offers a lot of opportunities to learn about the world and ones own place in it. For all these reasons, the gap year can be regarded as a positive social institution.
However, as critics are quick to point out, the gap year can in fact be harmful as it interrupts with the rhythm of learning and often makes it difficult for students to return to their studies. Apart from that, unfortunately not every young person can afford totravel around the world and many of them end up sitting around at home, which can be very demotivating.
All in all, the gap year may arouse mixed feelings, but still thousands of people every year take a year off. One can only hope they will use it fruitfully, minimizing the dangers and taking full advantage of its benefits.
