Sometimes people around you can change your life. Let me share my story with you. The person has changed my life is Julia Masi. She has taught me so many things that I will carry with me my life.

One thing I’ve learned from Julia is how to balance . Julia has shown me how to ahead so that I can finish all my schoolwork, enjoy sports and have time for my friends. I have also learned that you can find anything interesting you connect it with something you enjoy.

Last year I hated studying vocabulary, but I loved playing computer games. Julia combined(与……相结合)the two and showed me a website called “freerice. com”where you can play a word game. Each time you use a correct word, you can donate(捐赠)5 grains of rice to the poor. Thanks to the game, I about 1,000 words in just one month.

Julia had a good effect on me. Without Julia’s help. I probably wouldn’t have how easy it is to help the poor. There are so many ways that one person can . I’ve learned to be more grateful for what I own. I am very for the opportunities that I have been given. I will never give up helping those less fortunate(幸运的)in the rest of my life.

These days, more and more students in the UK are taking a “gap year”between their graduation from school and their university studies. This means they can 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 felt I’d grown up. I had learnt the importance of relationships with people, on all kinds of levels.”

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

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

If several university graduates are applying(申请) for the same job, gar year work experience allows you to say,

“ I’ve already had some experience of this kind of work.” And that can get your job.
