Task 2教育类话题，难度不高，剑桥真题第5册有原题，并且重复2015年2月28日原题。

题目翻译：很多学生在中学毕业到大学入学之间，休学一年去旅游或工作，分析利弊。（Gap year）

分析点评：今天的雅思写作task2，是个老题，和剑5test3的大作文相同，并且2015年2月28日考过原题，各位考生可以参考剑5的考官范文复习这个题目。

从话题上来说，今天的作文题属于教育类话题，问gap year的利弊，相对来说考生比较熟悉，话题论点也不难展开。从题型上来说，属于利弊类题目，题目没有涉及主观观点，问一个客观话题的利弊，文章需要给出一个明确的利弊比较的观点立场。文章结构，依旧可以采取四段式的写法：

第一段：话题背景+个人观点

第二段：（利好）可以论述2个及以上分论点：培养学生独立性；帮助学生开拓眼界，积累社会实践经验

第三段：（弊端）论述gap year的弊端，注意如果想呈现利大于弊的立场观点，弊端最好不能太严重

第四段：总结段，总结个人观点。

主体段1：首先，有利于学生大学专业的选择，absolutely helpful for the young people to choose their major in university and in future career; 很多学生中学毕业后直接入学大学再选专业上面会非常的困难，If they have to choose a major immediately once they enroll in university after living high school, it’s highly possible that students may find their majors extremely difficult or boring after a semester’s study. 其次，有利于培养学生独立性和积累社会经验，可以对比论证。There is a common recognition that a young adult who passes directly from school to university is rather restricted in terms of general knowledge and experience of the world. By contrast, those who have spent some time earning a living or traveling to other places have a broader view of life and better personal resources to draw on.

主体段2：gap year可能存在的弊端主要是：学生花了一年时间周游世界或者工作，之后很难重新融入学校氛围，或者干脆辍学工作不再回到校园。Young adults may end up never returning to their studies or finding it difficult to readapt to an academic environment. They may think that it is better to continue in a particular job, or to do something completely different from a university course. 需要注意利弊要在重要性上体现出差异，弊端严重影响立场观点，可以适当弱化（找补）：现如今学历很重要，经受一年社会磨炼才更容易意识到学习的重要性，But overall, I think this is less likely today, when academic qualifications are essential for getting a reasonable career.
