Writing Feedback / IELTS TASK 2: go straight to university or take a year off traveling [7]
It is prime time of their life when young students finish their school education and are ready to embark on to higher level and look forward to go to university.In that respect however, there are different viewpoints.One opinion is that these adolescents should be given some breathing space by taking a year gap from academic studies.The other group do not support this idea. in this essay i am going to discuss both sides of the argument.
First of all the negative aspects of this 'gap time' idea are not ignorable. As it is exclaimed that this free time could apparently make these young birds lazy and indolent.It is evident that they are not involved in any academic activity. So they most probably loose their focus from studies. For instance when they learn some practical skills or start earning a reasonable amount of money, it is practically difficult for them to take a new start in their educational and academic career. Same applies to other activities like travelling. They might possibly get distracted and perhaps get occupied with some sort of personal or social issues.Taking these facts into consideration it is not in favour of students to take break from studies.
Whereas ,there is other group who strongly favour's this idea. According to them , these young adults are genuinely tired and exhausted after spending whole 13+ years of their precious life,working hard ,going through all the exams . They now deserve a break, they should be therefore given a breathing space in that particular time period.They should be allowed to learn to face the harsh realities of life .They can learn new skills ,interact with communities ,do a job ,earn money and get to learn money management.This could make them feel accomplished,and give them confidence.
Moreover ,it could be essentially beneficial for these young people to travel around the world, to get knowledge, to see the colours of universe.They can plan a journey to a destination of their choice.For instance many students from my country prefer to travel to Europe, to interact with people from a different culture. similarly from UK and Europe, young students travel to India and China to explore, their history and culture.
To conclude, it is evident that these arguments are undoubtedly valid. However i do not hesitate to admit that. i am more in favour of 'gap year' for all the reasons given in last two paragraphs.In addition to that it also depends on the individuals how they take advantage of this time.
