雅思写作参考范文

An increasing number of students choose to spend one year travelling or working before going to university after they graduate from high schools. Although students can benefit a lot from the experiences in a gap year, its drawbacks cannot be ignored.

越来越多的学生选择在大学毕业后去上大学，然后再去上大学。尽管学生们可以从间隔年的经历中获益良多，但它的缺点不容忽视。

One prominent advantage of experiencing a gap year is that it helps student to accumulate working experience and have a clear perspective of career development. High schools emphasize academic development , which often makes students perplexed when they decide to choose a major in university. If an opportunity can be provided for them to participate in social activities, they will probably be more certain about their choice of major and work. In addition. Working or travelling contributes to broadening students’ horizons and enriching their life. They need to live independently and communicate with people from different cultural backgrounds, which is of great value to both their life and work in the future.

经历间隔年的一个显著优势是，它能帮助学生积累工作经验，对职业发展有一个清晰的视角。高中强调学术发展，这常常使学生在决定选择大学专业时感到困惑。如果能提供一个机会让他们参与社会活动，他们可能会更确定他们选择的专业和工作。此外。工作或旅行有助于拓宽学生的视野，丰富他们的生活。他们需要独立生活，与不同文化背景的人交流，这对他们的生活和工作都有很大的价值。

Despite these advantages, this view still cannot be supported by some parents and teachers. It is worried that students will devote too much to work and travel, and will probably give up the academic development. University is a place where students can acquire knowledge and skills. If they give up a bachelor degree, not only will the academic development be delayed, but also their career development will be negatively influenced. This is because with only a high-school degree, students are less likely to stand out in the employment market. Some graduates with low degrees have to understand some job demanding long time and offering low income.

尽管有这些优势，但一些家长和老师仍然不能支持这种观点。他们担心学生们会在工作和旅游方面投入太多，可能会放弃学术发展。大学是一个学生可以获得知识和技能的地方。如果他们放弃了学士学位，不仅会耽误学业，而且他们的职业发展也会受到负面影响。这是因为只有高中学历，学生在就业市场上不太可能脱颖而出。一些低学历的毕业生不得不理解一些工作要求很长时间，而且收入很低。

To sum up, taking a gap year before starting university life provides students good opportunities to know more about themselves and the real world. However, if they are indulged in travel or work and abandon their academic task, they might feel grateful soon.

总之，在开始大学生活前的空档年为学生提供了更多了解自己和真实世界的机会。然而，如果他们沉溺于旅行或工作，放弃学业，他们可能很快就会心存感激。
