A

These days, more and more students in thc UK are taking a "gap year" between their graduation from school and their university studies. This means that they take a year off, to do something else, before they start their studies.

For most students, spending time in foreign countries is the favorite activity-- and Australia is the favorite place to go.

Many parents, teachers and business people agree that travelling can teach important values.

" After a year of travelling,I learnt the importance of relationships with people on al1 sorts of 1evels."

There are many companies around the world that welcome these students on their projects --helping people in poor countries , or even in your home country. Although you don't get paid for your work, this kind of work can teach important ski1ls -decision making and finding answers to problems. for cxample-that will help a student in a job one day.

Finally, the knowledge and experience you get will one day be very useful in an area you hope to study or work in.

If several university graduates are applying for the same job, gap year work experience allows you to say:" I've already had some experience of this kind of work. "And that can get you the job!
