It means during the time, a student may travel and work before he begins university. Some people think that it is a good idea, as the students can see more of the world around them in order to help them decide what they want to do exactly.So I decided to take a gap year too. I travelled around New Zealand with my friends. We lived in Queenstown for the winter. It is very famous for its mountains and winter snow. My friends and I went snowboarding every day! We also did a lot of other outdoor activities, such as hiking.I was having so much fun, so my gap year turned into two years. Then I started to think about my future. One by one, my friends started to go to university. I thought I’d better go there as well. I looked for a lot of different universities and courses, but I still couldn’t decide what to do.One of my mother’s friends was a schoolteacher. She persuaded me to be a teacher and told me what to do step by step. I didn’t know if I could control a class. But as I thought more, I was more likely to be a teacher. Later, I applied to the University of Auckland and was accepted to do an education degree.Halfway through my degree, I visited Hong Kong during my summer holidays. I was amazed by how busy it is, and how hard everyone works. I thought “This is where I want to teach.” When my holiday was over, I studied even harder. Two days after I graduated with my Education degree, I got on a plane to Hong Kong. My adventure in China was about to begin!36. Why did the writer decide to take a gap year after school?A.
