  A gap year(休假学年), also known as year abroad or year off, is a year during which students take time off and do something other than schooling, such as travel or work.The gap year is most commonly taken before starting university.

  The practice of taking a gap year developed in the UK in the 1960s.During a gap year, a student might travel, take part in volunteer work overseas or undertake a working holiday abroad.

  In 1978, the Prince of Wales John Blashford-Snell began a gap year voyage around the world.In the United Stares, the gap year idea was promoted by Cornelius H.Bull in 1980.

  In recent years, the gap year has grown very popular among students in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada。A trend for gap years is to participate in international education programs that combine language study, homestays, community service, and independent study.

  In 2010, gap year travel has increased among school, college and university leavers, as this is seen as an attractive choice for future career development.

  Getting your teen to think beyond his own immediate needs can be more difficult than cracking a nut with a plastic fork.But don't worry.It's not impossible.There are many ways to encourage your teen to care about those outside his immediate circle of friends.As he begins to have responsibility towards others, he will realize he feels even better about himself.

  “Teens are thinking about career, college, and what their future might look like,”explains Michelle Maidenberg, a clinical director of Westchester Group Works, a center for group treatment in New York.“This is very challenging and just one of the reasons why they are so focused on their own world.”Once teens participate h community service, however, they begin to look beyond their personal needs.They also learn firsthand about the challenges others face, and they experience a sense of authority as they realize they can make a real difference in others' lives.

  Not sure how to convince a teen to get away from the cell phone and into a community project?Teens buy into community service when the project or program is in an area of their interest.

  “Finding something in an area of interest for them keeps them motivated and inspired,”Maidenberg says.For instance, if he is interested in culinary(烹饪)school, he could volunteer in a soup kitchen or bake for a project that supports families in need.Volunteer projects in your teen's area of interest will build her knowledge base as well as help others.

  Parents can do their part by participating in community service themselves.Teens can learn directly from their parents that personal enjoyment is not, all that matters.

  Let teens know the benefits they will obtain.“Give them every reason in the world to volunteer,”Maidenberg advises.She says that working on community service projects builds confidence.“By working with others, teens improve managerial, interpersonal and communication skills.Community service helps to approach maturity when they take a step back to see the needs of other people,”she adds.Another reward:service hours look great on a resume!
