最近受到疫情的影响，很多国外留学生也纷纷回国。全球疫情的蔓延让中国成为最安全的地方，很多准留学生们也在考虑要不要gap一年？因为国外实在是太不安全了！
到底应不应该gap一年呢?
如果gap一年要做些什么呢?每天在家里肥宅么？
01世界旅行
A year off – also called a gap year – is not a new concept, but there’s now a focus on making the most of this break from academic life. Long gone are the days of just hanging out on a beach or backpacking round the world.
hang out 闲逛，溜达
backpack v. 背包旅行
02学实用性的技能
While that is still an option, a
gap year is now more about gaining skills that will help you in later life. The BBC’s Smart Consumer podcast spoke to a student called Meg, who said “I just always had in the back of my mind I'd spend a year doing something productive and something that would just be good fun.”
