There might be some people who believe that after graduating from high school, student should take a year off to travel or work before going to college. Likewise, I agree with the above idea for two subsequence reasons. Firstly, it can relieve a lot of stress. Secondly, it is very helpful for relationship. To begin with, taking a year off before going to college could reduce stress. Students are stressed out because of college entrance exam in cutthroat competition. They could forget about this stress and feel refreshed so, it would motivate students to study harder. What this means is that they will concentrate well at study after a year. There is a recent survey done by Korea University professor Kim. He investigated people who consist of taking a year off to travel or work before going to college. 80% of respondents said that they could have adapted well in college life after graduating from high school. This was due to the fact that it could give students great motivation to study. On top of that, most students can make a good relationship with their friends. It could help them to socialize. There are huge difference between life in high school and that in college. Former is passive but latter is active so, students can upgrade their social skills by being involved with same activities with other people and it would be a great time for them. I will bring up my personal story as an example. When I had a part time job at a coffee shop after graduating from high school, I created fun memories and interacted with so many people. As a result, I could increase my conversation skills. And I became to make many friends easily after then. If I had not gotten a part time job at that time, I would be very introvert now. As I mentioned above, it can not only reduce stress, but also make a good relationship with other people. In this regard, I strongly believe that it is important for students to take a year off to travel or work before going to college after graduating from high school.
