Read about these students’ experiences on a gap year before they started university. Emily is studying English. She went to India. I worked for a local newspaper as a trainee journalist. Journalism is very competitive and it’s difficult to find a job. I spoke to a careers advisor and she told me that I should try to get some work experience. I always wanted to visit India and getting work experience over there is a bit easier than in the UK. It was a fantastic opportunity for me; not only did I learn a lot about journalism, but I also met some amazing people and saw some beautiful places. My favourite place in India has got to be the Taj Mahal – it is the most spectacular building I’ve ever seen. Jake is studying Engineering. He went to South America. I started in Venezuela, where I stayed with friends of mine in Caracas. It was so helpful having somebody who knew the city. I was able to do things that usually only the local people can do, so I felt at home. This was possibly the best part of the whole trip. It gave me the opportunity to practise my Spanish too! After Venezuela I went to Brazil on my own. The place was beautiful, but it was difficult to settle in because I didn’t know anyone. I also didn’t speak any Portuguese, which made me feel even lonelier. Eventually I got a volunteer job in a school where I taught English and maths and also sports. It was great fun. Then I moved on to Argentina, where I worked on a farm for two months. The work was hard and tiring, but it was enjoyable too. After Argentina I went to Uruguay, and I worked with children again, teaching them sports. I wasn’t paid for any of the work I did so I had to be very organized with my money. I finished my journey in Chile. This gap year provided me with the opportunity to gain work experience while seeing the world. Listening _____ / 10 Grammar _____ / 30 Writing _____ / 10
