教育/工作类

【题目解析】

题目大意：有些中学离校生不直接上大学，而是去旅行或工作一段时间。这对学习来说比较有利还是有弊？

题型特点：优缺比较类题型，需要在文章中对话题的优点和缺点都进行相应的细节展开，缺一不可。

本文结构：开头段引入话题、第一个主体段介绍大学前休假的缺点、第二个主体段介绍优点、结尾重申观点。

【难点】题目讨论的核心是休假/间隔期对大学新生在学习方面的影响，需要注意呈现的优缺点都需要与大学中的学习体现相关性。

【写作思路】

开头段：年轻人为了工作或旅行而推迟上大学的时间，而不是在离开学校后立即开始他们的大一课程，这种情况越来越普遍。尽管有一些潜在的缺点，但我认为休假期的好处往往是为他们的大学学习做好准备。

主体段1：大学前的休假期有两个主要的危险和弊端。最吸引人的是在校园环境之外缺乏对学术话题的接触。除非有持续的训练来复习以前学过的抽象的专业理论，否则在经过几个月轻松的旅行或实际工作后，在大学里沉浸在复杂的、理论性很强的阅读任务、讲座和项目中，可能是一种难以适应的经历。另一个缺点是，长期拖延大学入学可能对学生的积极性产生影响。如果他们已经对自己的工作或旅程感到满意，他们可能会推迟甚至完全终止他们的学术追求。

主体段2：另一方面，大学前休息时间有几个有利的点。最主要的一点是独立性增强。从全职或兼职工作中获得稳定收入的人可以支付大学学费，而不需要父母的支持。另外，他们可能更习惯于管理自己的日程安排和解决实际问题，从而提高效率，这对大学中的生存至关重要。另一个优势是，在某些情况下，特定行业的经验可能会在处理案例分析时提供一个独特的视角。因为有实践经验的人熟悉自己领域的技术性和复杂性，他们的解决方案往往更有针对性和实用性。

结尾段：虽然大学前的旅行和工作对一些高中毕业生来说可能是个问题，但我认为它的优势往往超过了任何缺点。他们只需确保安排一些时间来激活他们之前的知识，以便为大学做更好的准备。

【参考范文】

It is becoming increasingly common for young people to postpone college for work or travel purposes rather than starting their freshmen year immediately after they leave school. Despite some of its potential drawbacks, I think the benefits of the gap year are often greater for preparing them for college learning.

There are two main dangers and disadvantages to a sabbatical period before college. The one that attracts the most publicity is the lack of exposure to academic subjects outside of the campus environment. Unless there is consistent training to review abstract, specialized theories previously learnt, it can be an overwhelming experience, after months of relaxing travels or practical work, to be immersed in complex, theory-heavy reading tasks, lectures and projects in university. A further disadvantage is that a lengthy delay of college entrance may have consequences on students' motivation. If they have grown comfortable with their work or journey, they may defer or even terminate their academic pursuit altogether.

On the other hand, a pre-college break has several points in its favour. The main one is increased independence. People who have earned a solid amount of income from full-time or part-time work can cover university tuition fees without requiring support from their parents. Also, they are probably more used to managing their own schedule and solving practical problems, resulting in increased productivity that is essential for college survival. The other advantage is that industry-specific experience may, in some cases, provide a unique perspective when approaching case analysis. Because people with hands-on experience are familiar with the technicalities and complexity in their own field, their solutions are often more focused and pragmatic.

While pre-college travel and work can be problematic for some high school leavers, I think its advantages often outweigh any drawbacks. They just have to ensure some time is arranged for activating their prior knowledge so that they are better prepared for university.
