6.Not everyone goes to university after high school graduation.Some work,others join the army and an increasing number worldwide are taking a"gap year"to travel or do community service,in their own countries or abroad.They are studying sharks off the Australian coast,building schools in Mexico and learning Spanish or Italian.The concept of a gap year may not be new,but the recent surge(涌现) of interest certainly is.Some students are putting off admissions(入学).Others,who don't get into the college of their choice,are taking a year to explore new fields before reapplying.
Students are choosing to take a short break; they are thinking.They are not sure what they are going to do.They are going and exploring some of their interests.They are getting experience they can take to the school they finally go to.
It is an idea actively encouraged by colleges.Princeton University has just launched a"bridge year"program that will send 10percent of its incoming class to do volunteer work abroad,starting in 2009.And the Harvard has spent the last 30years urging incoming students to take a gap year.
"Many speak of their year away as a‘life-altering'(改变生活的) experience or a‘turning point'"says Harvard admissions director Marlyn Lewis."Many come to college with new opinions about their academic plans,their extracurricular(课外的) interests and the career possibilities they observed in their year away."
