VII. 寫作練習
Personally, I find the idea of a gap year very attractive. First, I can explore the world, which will certainly be inspiring and exciting. In the process, I will learn new things and make new friends. My parents may think it costs too much money or that it is a waste of time, but I believe I will see myself and the world in a very different way after the gap year. Also, when I interact with people in other countries, I will be reminded once again of the importance of English and communication. I am sure that I will study with greater passion after the gap year.
