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 decided to do this.

In several countries, students having just finished high school are encouraged to take a gap year to work or visit new places instead of immediately starting university studies. When adolescent decide to do this, they receive both advantages and disadvantages in some ways.

Young adults could gain several benefits when they do not go to university at once after completing high school studies. In the first place, young people can spend the gap year travelling to new places in order to refresh their mental health. Since after many years consecutively facing with academic stress when being a student, having several trips to release all of bad emotions are definitely necessary, especially before starting a new stage of life. Additionally, besides travelling, going to work is also a good idea for finishing high school students. By undergoing different companies’ internships, young people might have a chance to equip themselves not only with crucial life skills such as communication skill, problem-solving skill, but also working experience which may not taught at school. Therefore, a gap year is admittedly significant to find what university would suit them best and be all ready for upcoming university life.

Adversely, there are still some disadvantages if young adults do not enroll university right after high school but spend a year off. Firstly, they might slightly forget the knowledge taught in high school which is aimed for university entrance exam. Without revising what they have learnt in almost a year, they may get hard to pass the exam and may not be eligible to get into the university they want. Moreover, adolescent should only take a gap year when they feel secured about their finance because travelling to anywhere also need a huge amount of money. More specifically, there are some companies which only hire university studying candidates; therefore, it may not easy to find a job and also have financially security for travelling.

In conclusion, going straight to university or having a gap year is a difficult decision to make; therefore young people had better weigh up the benefits and drawbacks to have a good choice for their lives.
