A1. If you had the chance to take a gap year, would you do it Read the magazine article below and answer the following questions.
By tradition, many students leaving school at 18 would go straight to university and study for three or four years before joining the world of work and beginning the slow climb up the career ladder. 按照傳統，許多 18 歲畢業的學生通常會直接進入大學，學習三到四年后再踏入職場，開始緩慢地攀登職業階梯。
gap year空缺年(常指中學畢業后上大學前所休的一年假期,用于實習或旅游)
climb提高地位；達到更高標準；晉升
However, nowadays, more and more young people travel to every point of the compass and work on projects for up to a year before returning to the UK to enter university.
A year between leaving school and starting university is known as a gap year. It is more than just a long holiday. 然而如今，越來越多的年輕人會前往世界各地，參與項目工作長達一年，之后再返回英國進入大學。 從高中畢業到進入大學之間的這一年被稱為 “間隔年”。它不僅僅是一個漫長的假期
point 某地方；地點
work on sth/sb努力改善(或完成);努力說服(使某人答應或做某事)
Universities encourage students to take a year off, and more and more companies say they prefer to hire graduates who have taken a gap year rather than those who go straight from school to university.The reason for this preference is simple. A gap year gives young people an
opportunity to learn skills and gain life experience that schools cannot provide.It helps young people grow.大學鼓勵學生休學一年，越來越多的企業也表示，相比從高中直接升入大學的畢業生，他們更傾向于雇傭有過間隔年經歷的學生。這種偏好的原因很簡單：間隔年為年輕人提供了學習學校無法傳授的技能、積累生活經驗的機會，幫助他們實現成長。
take a year off/a gap year 休學一年
gain增加；增添；增進；增長
Last year, Carol Smith went from the UK to Brazil, where she worked on a project to help save the Amazon rainforest. She said, “Living away from home in such a remote place taught me to be more independent. Of course, I missed home, but I’d certainly recommend it. I feel like I’ve really made a difference and helped protect the rainforest.”去年，卡羅爾 史密斯從英國前往巴西，參與了一個拯救亞馬遜雨林的項目。她提到：“在如此偏遠的地方離家生活，讓我學會了更獨立。雖然我確實想家，但我強烈推薦這樣的經歷。我覺得自己真正做出了改變，為保護雨林出了一份力?！?br/>Amazon / m z n/亞馬遜
Martin Johnson helped build a school in a poor part of India. He said he wanted to learn how to deal with difficult situations. He said he had learnt a lot by working with the local people. “I also helped people harvest their crops,
which was something I had never done before. It was very special, being part of another culture,” he said proudly.馬丁 約翰遜則在印度貧困地區參與了一所學校的建設。他表示，自己想學習如何應對困境。通過與當地人合作，他收獲頗豐：“我還幫人們收割莊稼，這是我以前從未做過的事。成為另一種文化的一部分，這種感覺非常特別?！?他自豪地說。
part [ C](世界、國家或城鎮等的)區域,地區;[ U]成員;成分
For many students, a gap year teaches them how to work with a group of strangers and how to look after themselves. These are exactly the sort of skills employers are looking for. Mr Biggins, the manager of a major finance company, welcomes the extra experience that a gap year can bring to new workers. “We usually find that students who have taken a gap year are better able to work without needing direction, and they tend to work better with colleagues from different backgrounds.” 對許多學生而言，間隔年教會他們如何與一群陌生人合作，以及如何照顧自己 —— 而這些正是雇主所看重的技能。某大型金融公司經理比金斯先生十分認可間隔年為新員工帶來的額外經驗：“我們通常發現，有過間隔年經歷的學生更能獨立工作，不需要過多指導，也更善于與不同背景的同事合作。”
It is now accepted that a gap year is more than just a year away from studying.It is a time for personal development, learning new skills and seeing life in a
different way. As well as having a good time and making new friends, taking a gap year may give students an edge in the job market.如今，人們普遍認為間隔年不僅僅是脫離學業的一年。它是個人成長的階段，是學習新技能、以不同視角看待生活的契機。除了享受時光、結交新朋友，經歷間隔年或許還能讓學生在就業市場中占據優勢。
edge (on/over sb/sth) /ed / （微弱的）優勢
1. What does the underlined phrase “give students an edge” in the last paragraph mean
“Give students an edge” here means that the skills gained from a gap year might give students an advantage over other applicants for a job.
2. According to the article, what skills and qualities might students gain during a gap year
Students might learn skills and gain life experience, becoming more independent and more ready to face challenges. They might get to know how to deal with difficult situations, how to work with a group of strangers or colleagues from different backgrounds, and how to look after themselves without the help of family or friends.
A2. In pairs, discuss the potential advantages and disadvantages of taking a gap year. Use the example below to help you and pay attention to the expressions in bold/ yellow. Page 72
A: I read this article about students taking a gap year after graduating from high school. Is it really such a good idea Isn’t it better to go to university straightaway
straight·away / stre t we /= straight away,immediately; without delay立即；馬上
B: It really depends on their reasons for taking a gap year. It might not be right for everyone. One strong argument for taking a gap year is that it gives us a chance to learn skills that we normally don’t learn in school.
A: Yes, I agree with panies sometimes do prefer graduates with real-world experience.
argument (for/against sth)/ (that...)論據；理由；論點
nor·mal·ly / n m li/ 通常；正常情況下;正常地；平常地
real-world存在于現實世界的；真實的
One argument against taking a gap year would be
that some companies aren’t necessarily looking for people who’ve taken a gap year. Instead, they are looking for applicants who can demonstrate independent thinking and a positive attitude. You can get these from school education as well.
B: I agree up to a point; however, just think about how exciting a gap year would be—new places, new people and perhaps a whole new culture!
dem·on·strate / dem nstre t/ 表達;表露;表現;顯露,＝display
up to a (certain) point在某種程度上
Wouldn’t this be worthwhile When you adapt to a new environment, you get to step outside your comfort zone and develop your problem-solving skills.
A: Yeah, that does sound really exciting. But usually one needs to plan carefully to make the most of a gap year. Besides, taking a gap year can be very expensive,and you would also end up a year behind your peers.
get開始(感覺到、認識到、成為);達到…地步(或程度)
comfort zone 舒適區，放松區
make the most of sth/sb/yourself充分利用；盡情享受
B: Well, you certainly have a point there. It could be costly and time-consuming.

Tapescript
Teacher: If you want to gain practical work experience, you need to get out of the classroom and consider getting an internship. Internships are jobs that companies design especially for university students to give them practical
experience in the career they are interested in pursuing after graduation.During an internship, you can learn new skills and get a better understanding of the job.
In addition, it is a great chance to make a good impression on managers of the company, who may be able to offer you a job after you graduate, or will at least provide you with some useful information.
Internships are available in almost every field, including computer programming, engineering and education. Most internships take place during the school summer holidays. Usually you don’t get paid much, but the experience that you gain can be very valuable.
en·gin·eer·ing / end n r / 工程(學)
For example, if you are studying architecture, you could work as an intern in a construction company and get experience in drawing up plans for new buildings.
If you are interested, the university’s Careers Guide Centre has information about companies that are currently offering internships.

Greg: It’s great! It’s my third week now working at a TV station, and I’m learning so much.
Shelly: Wow, that sounds interesting! What do you do there

Shelly: That sounds really cool.
Greg: How’s yours going
Shelly: Well, it’s interesting too. It’s quite hard work, but I’m learning a lot.
Greg: Where are you working
Shelly: In a local government office. Because my major is related to the government, I got an internship as an assistant to a local official. Many citizens call with questions and complaints about traffic, crime and so on, and I try to help them and answer their questions.
I also do research on problems such as pollution and I write reports about what I have learnt from the research. Then I give them to the official to help him make decisions about how to deal with these problems.
Greg: That sounds very interesting. Do you want to be a government official in the future then
Shelly: Well, I’ve learnt that officials have a lot of responsibilities, and that sometimes it’s difficult to make the best decisions for the people. But I’ll definitely give it
a try. How about you Do you see a future in TV
future前途；前程
Greg: Yes, I definitely want to work for a TV station when I graduate. It’s very exciting!

(Possible answer)
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to apply for the internship at your animal hospital. My name is Penny Jones, and I am currently studying at Central High School. Since I do well in Science
subjects, particularly Biology, I aim to major in a related subject at university, and I hope to have a career where I can work with animals. The internship at your animal
hospital would be an excellent opportunity to apply what I have learnt and gain some valuable work experience.
major in sth主修
When I saw your job advertisement in today’s newspaper, I knew I had to apply.
What makes me a perfect fit for the position is that I love animals and keep several pets myself: I have a dog and two cats with special needs, so I know the difficulties of looking after sick animals. My friends often ask me to take care of their pets when they go travelling, which means I can deal with different kinds of animals. I am definitely not afraid of getting my hands dirty, or the challenges.
fit匹配；相配, a perfect fit完美契合
I am also comfortable dealing with people and I have work experience in the service industry. Since last summer, I have been working part-time at Carolyn’s coffee shop.
I may only see people for a few minutes of their day, but I believe I can do my best to make that time as pleasant as possible. Dealing with people’s individual needs and ensuring they feel welcome and relaxed is part of my daily work at the coffee shop.
comfortable輕松的; 自在的;使人舒服的；舒適的
deal with sb對付；應付；對待;解決；處理；
The owner is very pleased with my work and my customers find me polite and friendly. This experience will definitely be useful when dealing with pet owners.
My school term ends next week, which will make me available from Monday the 25th onwards. I hope you will consider my application.
Yours faithfully,（正式信末署名前的套語）
Penny Jones

Think twice before choosing a career. Read aloud the excerpt below about the advice Robert Louis Stevenson gave to a young man who wanted to become an artist.
think twice about (doing) sth三思而行；慎重考慮后再決定
A Letter to a Young Gentleman
Who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art
致一位意欲投身藝術事業的青年紳士的信
Should you or should you not become an artist It is one which you must decide entirely for yourself; all that I can do is to bring under your notice some of the materials of that decision; and I will begin, as I shall probably conclude also, by assuring you that all depends on the vocation.你究竟該不該成為一名藝術家？這完全需要你自己決定；我所能做的，只是讓你注意到一些影響該決定的因素。我將從 “一切取決于天職” 這一點開始闡述 —— 或許也會以此作為結論。
pro·pose/pr p z/ 打算;希冀;計劃
bring sth. under your notice引起你對...的注意
as·sure / (r)/ 使確信；向…保證
vo·ca·tion/v ke n/工作,職業,生活方式;(認為某種工作或生活方式特別適合自己的)信心,使命感
To know what you like is the beginning of wisdom and of old age. Youth is wholly experimental. The essence and charm of those anxious and delightful years is ignorance of self as well as ignorance of life. 了解自己所愛，是智慧的開端，也是成熟的標志。青春完全是一場實驗。那些焦慮又愉悅的歲月，其本質與魅力在于對自我的懵懂，也在于對生活的未知。
whol·ly / h lli/ completely,totally完全地;全面地;整體地
ex·peri·men·tal / k sper mentl/ 以實驗(或試驗)為基礎的;實驗性的;試驗性的
es·sence / esns/ 本質；實質；精髓
de·light·ful /d la tfl/ 使人快樂的；令人愉快的；宜人的
These two unknowns the young man brings together again and again, now in the airiest touch,now with a bitter hug; now with exquisite pleasure, now with cutting pain; but never with indifference,to which he is a total stranger.年輕人一次又一次地將這兩個未知之物交織在一起：時而如輕拂羽翼般觸碰，時而如痛苦擁抱般緊纏；時而體驗極致的歡愉，時而承受刺骨的傷痛；但從未漠然處之 —— 他與冷漠全然無緣。
un·known / n n n/ 不明的情況;未知的因素;未知數;未知量
airy / e ri/ 無憂無慮的；無所謂的；漫不經心的
ex·quis·ite / k skw z t/ 劇烈的;強烈的 cutting凜冽的;刺骨的
in·dif·fer·ence (to sb/sth) / n d fr ns/ 漠不關心;冷淡;不感興趣;無動于衷
be no/a stranger to sth.熟悉（或不熟悉）某事；習慣（或不習慣）某事
If he is a sensitive young man that easily gets carried away by emotion, the interest of this series of experiments grows upon him out of all proportion to the pleasure he
receives.It is not beauty that he loves, nor pleasure that he seeks, though he may think so; his sufficient reward is to confirm his own existence and taste the variety of human fate. 如果他是個敏感、容易被情感左右的年輕人，這一系列 “實驗” 的吸引力會遠超他從中獲得的快樂。他所愛的未必是美，所追求的也未必是享樂，盡管他可能自以為如此；對他而言，足夠的回報是確認自身的存在，并品味人生百態的滋味。
get/be carried away變得很激動；失去自制力
out of all proportion to sth.不相稱；不諧調
If you recognize in yourself some such decisive taste, there is no room for hesitation: follow your calling. And observe that the disposition does not usually burn so brightly at first, or rather not so constantly. 如果你在自己身上察覺到類似的、具有決定性的志趣，那么無需猶豫：追隨你的志趣吧。要知道，這種性情通常并非從一開始就光芒萬丈，或者說，它并非始終如一。
de·cisive /d sa s v/ 決定性的；關鍵的
taste (for/in sth)愛好；志趣 room for sth可能性；機會
hesitation/ h z te n/遲疑; 不愿意；猶豫
call·ing / k l / 使命感;(尤指想幫助他人的)強烈愿望,責任感;職業;事業
dis·pos·ition / d sp z n/ 性格；性情;傾向；意向
burn發光；發亮 rather更確切地講，更準確地說
Habit and practice sharpen gifts; the necessity of toil grows less disgusting, grows even welcome,in the course of years; a small taste waxes into an exclusive passion.習慣與實踐會磨礪天賦；年復一年，勞作的必然性不再令人厭惡，甚至會變得受歡迎；微弱的興趣會逐漸演變成專一的熱愛。
sharpen (sth) (up)（使）提高，改善;（使）變得鋒利
toil/t l/v./n. 辛苦工作;（長時間）苦干，辛勤勞作
dis·gust·ing /d s ɡ st / 極糟的;令人不快的;令人厭惡的;令人氣憤的
wel·come / welk m/ 令人愉快的；受歡迎的
wax /w ks/（數量、規模等）增加，變大
ex·clu·sive / k sklu s v/專用的,專有的,獨有的,獨占的;排斥的;排他的
Enough,just now, if you can look back over a period of time and see that your chosen art has a little more than held its own among the interests of youth. Time will do the rest, if devotion helps it; and soon your every thought will be absorbed in that beloved occupation. / kju pe n/工作；職業
(Adapted from Across the Plains with Other Memories and Essays, by Robert Louis Stevenson) 如今，只要你回顧一段時間，發現自己選擇的藝術在青春的諸多興趣中已占據一席之地，便已足夠。如果輔以熱忱，時間自會完成余下的一切；不久后，你所有的思緒都將被這摯愛的事業所傾注。
