Номер 2, страница 150, часть 1 - гдз по английскому языку 10 класс учебник Демченко, Юхнель

2. a. Read an opinion essay on the topic "Should young people take a gap year between finishing high school and starting university studies?" Is the writer for or against taking a gap year?

Some people recommend students to travel the world for a year before starting university. Others argue a "gap year" is a waste of time and money. In my opinion, there are more disadvantages than advantages of spending a gap year travelling after school.

To start with, probably the most serious problem about a gap year is its impact on future academic performance. Young people taking a gap year may fall behind their peers or lose the motivation to study altogether.

Moreover, school leavers are not mature enough to make the right decision. They are generally likely to end up with unskilled jobs abroad that barely cover their expenses. Sometimes the work experience gained may not be very relevant to a person's career later and might not offer a lot of opportunities to achieve success in their future life.

However, some people think that gaining some life and work experience develops you as a person. A gap year can help young people to become more independent and grown up, as it will require some organisation skills and the ability to manage their finances.

All points considered, I strongly believe that there are a number of good alternatives to taking a gap year immediately after school: studying abroad or working in a foreign country once you have completed studies. These alternatives later in a person's career might be a more focused approach that offers better work opportunities, and ultimately, may prove a better experience than a gap year.
