Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct

answer to each of the questions from 6 to 10.

You’ve just finished high school and you’ve got a place at university, but you’d really like a break from your

studies. Why not think about taking a year out? While most students go straight from school to university, more and

more young people today are choosing to spend a year at ‘the university of life’ first.

There are lots of things to choose from. You could work in a bank or in a restaurant. You might even do

something adventurous, such as joining an expedition to the Amazon rain forest. The experience will broaden your

knowledge and teach you new skills. It may also give you the chance to earn some money, which will be very

helpful when you eventually start your studies.

If you are interested in taking a year out, you must make sure that the university will hold your place for you till

next year. Most are quite happy to do this, as they find that year-out students are more mature, confident and

independent. But don’t forget it’s a year out not a year off. Your university will want to know what you’re going to

do. They won’t be very pleased if you just want to do nothing for a year. So what would you do with a year out?
