A ‘gap year’ is a period of time, usually an academic year, when a student takes a break from formal education. It is often spent travelling or working.
People used to think that taking a gap year was negative. In the past you took a gap year if you had to retake exams or had problems between finishing school and starting higher education and then starting a career. But now, universities positively encourage a gap year, and employers are happy to give jobs to students who take a gap year. A year out between school or college and higher education or employment, or between higher education and a job, can give young people useful learning experiences, help them pick up new skills and make them more independent. Employers and universities want to see evidence of enterprise, maturity and commitment both in and outside formal education.
Young people in formal education usually take a gap year when they are about eighteen years old, before going to university. They can also be taken at a different time, for example, by someone who wants to break up their degree course or to do something different before a postgraduate course.

Many gap year students choose to do voluntary work. This could include teaching in the mountains in Nepal, a conservation project in Madagascar, an expedition in Costa Rica or an internship in Japan. There are plenty of gap year volunteer work options to choose from. There is also voluntary work closer to home for British students - both geographically and culturally - including the UK, Europe and North America.

Popular gap year activities for young people looking for adventure include surfing in Hawaii, wake boarding in Italy, kite surfing in Egypt or bungee jumping in New Zealand.

Lots of gap year students just want to see more of the world. According to the British government’s Gap Year website, the top 5 gap year travel destinations for 2011 were Tibet, Indonesia, Taiwan, Eastern Europe and Canada.

Most students who are planning a gap year take on a part-time job to save up for the trip. Some young people look for work when they get to their destination if they need to earn money to pay for accommodation, food, etc. Popular jobs include bar work, fruit picking and being a tour guide. A gap year doesn’t have to be a full year travelling or having adventures. Some students travel for three or six months then work for the rest of the year.

Dear friend,

Nowadays, people polluate so much nature that it is already "suffocating", trying to still survive. Creating new things, mankind forgets about trees, seas, oceans, plants, animals and so on. Unfortunately, myself, I am only one person, so I cannot change the whole world. On the other hand, I can change my befaviour towards nature so that I won't worsen it anymore.
For example, many people throw the garbage everywhere instead of doing it into the right places - something I do regularly (I mean, I only throw the garbage into the right places). I am not into killing animals, so if I go to the forest, I only do it in order to breath in fresh air. Also, Saturdays have become the days when my neighbours and I are cleaning our yard to make it more beautiful.
I could do a bigger list of what I am trying to do in order to fight against polluation, but now, I would like to see yours!

Have a nice day!
Sincerely yours,
Ваше имя.

When I want to go to the cinema, I usually see in the programme what films are on. Then I phone my friends and we discuss what films to see.

We prefer feature films but also enjoy cartoons and popular science films. To see a good love story, musical or detective film is a very pleasant way of spending free time. If I want to go to an evening show, I usually book tickets in advance. But for matinee performances I always buy tickets just before the show.

There are many talented actors and actresses in our country. My favourite actor is O. Yankovskyi. My favourite actress is N. Gundareva. They played the leading parts in many films and I always enjoy their superb acting.

The last film I saw was the screen version of the novel «Gone with the Wind» by M. Mitchell. This film is in colour. It's an old film but still it enjoys great popularity. There are many famous American actors in it with Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable in the leads. I was deeply impressed by their acting and the film itself.
