[11:57.45]Gap Year
[11:59.43]A gap year is a period of time, usually an academic year,
[12:04.00]when a student takes a break from formal education.
[12:08.78]It is often spent travelling or working.
[12:12.38]Taking a gap year between school and university is quite common in Britain.
[12:18.63]People used to think taking a gap year was negative.
[12:22.80]But now, universities positively encourage a gap year,
[12:27.57]and employers are happy to recruit students who take a gap year.
[12:32.39]A year out can give young people useful learning experiences,
[12:37.42]help them pick up new skills
[12:39.45]and make them more independent.
[12:42.75]Young people in formal education usually take a gap year
[12:47.17]when they are about eighteen, before going to university.
[12:51.72]Many gap year students choose to do voluntary work.
[12:56.40]There are also many popular gap year activities for those looking for adventure
[13:01.43]such as surfing, diving or water-skiing.
[13:05.66]Indeed, lots of gap year students just want to see more of the world.
