Topic: It is becoming increasingly popular to have a year off between finishing school and
going to university. What are advantages and disadvantages of this ?

• 1st draft

It is true that there has been a rise in the number of people taking a year off between finishing
school and going to university. The main advantage of this trend is that it gives sufficient time
for a teenager to learn new skills, new jobs and the main drawback is that this can also be
wastage of time if it is not planned carefully
To stars with positives, a significant advantage is that students can explore the possibilities
and get prepared for the future assignments and it gives an individual enough amount of time
to concentrate on enhancing his skill. For example, if you want get into a medical or school
you definitely have to practice for an extra year which are difficult to clear without adequate
preparation
Moreover, a student can master skills like communication foreign languages
On the flip side, the main disadvantage of this phenomenon is that if planning is not done
properly then this can be just wastage of the time. Instead of taking a year gap after finishing
school, a person can take admission in college and get a job after completing his college
studies. For example , a recent study revealed that over 60% of the students who took a year
off before joining university had done nothing fruitful and thus it was a total waste of time or
some students may fall into the trap of bad influence and they might start using drugs ,
alcohols and other harmful substance. This will definitely sabotage their future and waste time
In conclusion, although having a year gap can broaden the horizons of the student by
providing them a better vision of the society and various cultures, it can also deviate them
from the right path and their jeopardize their future.
