大学前间隔年的利弊Pros and Cons of a Gap Year Before University

For students who have just finished secondary school, working or travelling for a year will allow them to learn what life is like outside of the education system.

回应拓宽经验这一优点，但没有说明具体获得哪些能力以及这些能力如何帮助之后的学习或选择。

As job markets are very competitive, an extra year of experience can make a massive difference when applying for jobs, and those who took a gap year are at a disadvantage.

有竞争力的解释，但未区分间隔年中获得的工作经验与毕业后经验，因果关系较笼统。

For instance, jobs in the service industry are easy to get without a third-level education, and many gap students fill these roles only to be stuck in them for the rest of their lives.

提供具体行业例子，却从暂时就业直接推到终身受困，概括程度超过现有论证。

Despite these advantages, students lose a year that could have been used to advance their future careers, and they often get used to working or travelling and don’t want to return to a life of study.

这一转折自然承接上一段，并为本段的两个不利影响建立清楚的推进顺序。

Moreover, some decide to bypass university altogether and go straight into a job that is beneath their capabilities or may not offer the same prospects their future career might have.

增补关系清楚，由延迟职业起步转向放弃大学的更深影响；some在上下文中指向前述学生。

In conclusion, taking a break from studies can be advantageous if it allows people to accumulate savings or learn more about the world.

结尾重新合拢优点，结构清楚，但仍较明显地重复主体段的列举顺序。

Moreover, some decide to bypass university altogether and go straight into a job that is beneath their capabilities or may not offer the same prospects their future career might have.

bypass、beneath their capabilities与prospects能够具体表达升学和就业层面的取舍。

The average student at a UK university requires over £10,000 per annum to survive, and many drop out because they cannot afford to stay.

per annum、drop out和afford使用灵活；survive较“维持大学期间的生活开支”语义更强。

However, they should also be careful that it does not delay the start of their careers and lead to disillusionment with education.

disillusionment通常包含理想破灭之意，与正文主要讨论习惯工作、失去学习动力并不完全吻合。

Despite these advantages, students lose a year that could have been used to advance their future careers, and they often get used to working or travelling and don’t want to return to a life of study.

定语从句中的情态完成式被动与后续并列谓语衔接正确，get used to后的动名词形式准确。

For students who have just finished secondary school, working or travelling for a year will allow them to learn what life is like outside of the education system.

现在完成时定语从句、动名词主语、不定式与间接疑问从句组合准确，句子层次清楚。

In conclusion, taking a break from studies can be advantageous if it allows people to accumulate savings or learn more about the world.

动名词主语和条件从句运用自然，不定式并列中的省略恰当。
