correction

Hallo,
ich würde mich freuen wenn mir jemand bei meinem essay helfen könnte - es zu kontrollieren.

More and more students are taking a gap year before they start studying at the college.
After students finish their high school they have different kinds of possibilities to take a year off. Individuals who take a gap year have an opportunity to get a job, do volunteer work or travel to a foreign country. In the following essay, I will present advantages and disadvantages of taking a gap year.

On the one hand, taking a gap year is a good option to spend your time usefully when you do not know what to do or study, yet. High-School graduates who do not get accepted immediately by their favourite university often take a gap year, for example. Moreover, you will get an better idea of what you would work or study in future. For instance, students who go abroad for one year decide to study the language of their visited country. Therefore, taking a year off also supports your applications in studies or work. For example, if you do an internship, you will gain experience that are necessary for your intended work. Furthermore, students have enough time to think about their coming year and perhaps change their intended goals into more ambitious goals. As a result they get more motivated to succeed their new purposes. During this time students improve their personal skills and learn more about themselves. Students who intended to work as a nurse could change their mind to work as a doctor, for example. For those who go abroad for one year have the chance to practice the language of the foreign country and to get to know with the culture and people of the country. For instance, students take their gap year in an English-speaking country in order to improve their English skills that they have acquired at school. During your gap year you will earn some money that you can save for the future. For example, if it is possible, students also do a side job.

On the other hand, students who start studying after their gap year often lose the sense of studying. Moreover, they find it difficult to study after a break of one year because students have to brush up their acquired school knowledge. For example, medical study is a kind of study that is just possible by passing a test related to the schools knowledge. Furthermore, students who take a year off are cheap labour and therefore often get abused by their employer. Students who do civilian work work the whole day but still are less paid. The changeover from school to work is hard for those who have never worked before. As a result they often have emotional stress that are caused by work pressure. Many of them are not able to accomplish the expectations of their employer, for example. After taking a year off it means that you spend one year wastefully. For instance, people realise after their gap year that it does not support their further goals as they thought before.

In conclusion taking a gap year is an option to spend your time and to have an idea of the work or study in future. It also gives you the opportunity to improve individual skills or gain expierence that can be beneficial for your applications. Moreover students get paid during their gap year unless they do volunteer work. Nevertheless, students are able to lose their sense of studying and have to brush up their knowledge of school. These people work as a cheap labour and often have problems which are result of sudden changeover from school to work. There are more advantages and disadvantages of taking a gap year. That is why I am for a break of one year after high-school because within one year students gain the experience of life they need in their coming year as a student or apprentice. I personally took a gap year after my A level result and it helped me a lot to plan my studies although my civilian work does not relate to my studies in Business Administration. But I gained and improved my personal skills which lead me to a motivated and ambitious student that I am right now.
