托福口语真题范文回顾(10)

Some people believe that students who want to go to university after graduation from high school should have about one year's time to get a job to obtain work experience or have a travel to enlarge their vision. Do you agree or disagree? What's your opinion? （07. 8.11 考题）

　　Sample answer：

　　As far as I'm concerned, I think a gap year is a good idea for college students. Going away instead of directly going to university would provide them with a different and great experience. They would have the opportunity to see different things and know more about life. Taking a break from study is not only beneficial for their body, but also for their mind. It's like self-refreshment. After the break, they would be eager to return to college with a fresher outlook and clearer mind. Sometimes they may think more, connect their real world experience to their schoolwork and thus improve their efficiency.

　　Somehow, students who take one year off either to work or to see the world, always wind up going back to school with more incentives（动力） to get more out of their education.  So I think of taking one year off as a way of rejuvenating（使恢复，使更新） oneself.
