CAMBRIDGE IELTS 5 TEST 2
In some countries young people are encouraged 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 this.
It is quite common these days for young people in many countries to have a break from studying
after graduating from high school. The 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 travelling 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 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 horizon. 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 beat way to gain this.
