Задание: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 today’s 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 problem.
In its favour, the gap year seems to be useful psychologically as it helps young people understand their needs and interests 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 one’s place in it. For all these reasons, the gap year can be regarded as a positive social institution.
However, as critics can point out, the gap year can in fact be harmful as it interrupts with the rhythm of learning and often makes it difficult to return to their studies. Apart from that, unfortunately not every young person can afford to travel around the world and many of them end up sitting 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.

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 essay and present the different aspects of such an idea.
“ All work and no play make Jack a dull boy”, as the old English saying goes. The gap year seems to be one of those traditions which remind us about the real needs of young people, and so prove that such old pieces of wisdom may be right.
Socially, the gap year offers a break from routine and a period of relaxation from the monotony of a scheduled life. Far from being a period of mere idleness, it helps young people to unwind and better prepare both mentally and emotionally for the challenges of the future life in society.
Perhaps paradoxically, the gap year may also have some educational aims. As it is usually spent on travelling and doing casual work, it helps widen one’s intellectual horizons, learn a lot about people and oneself, and – last but not least – perhaps even acquire a job for one’s life.
Finally, from the psychological angle, young people may use the gap year as a period of coming in terms with the end of their adolescence and beginning to look forward to their life as adults. And so, coming back to settle down within the bounds of their chosen career, they have the chance of becoming not only more interesting, but also more open to, and better aware of the world around them.
In today’s 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.
