« Sujet 2: If you had the opportunity, would you go and spend a year in a foreign country? Discuss the pros and cons. In our society, we can have the opportunity to travel and go abroad in a foreign country. People usually say that it’s a good thing because it’s a way to acquire knowledge.

All the same, some persons think that to take a gap year is like going on holiday. On the one hand, I would like to go and spend a year in a foreign country since that would allow me to meet people and to go on a world tour.

For instance I would hitchhike, sleep in a youth hostel or a boarding house and work as a chambermaid in a hostel.

Moreover, I could be active in an association to endeavour to people in needs in this country.

Personally, I have an enquiring mind and I am anxious to learn the traditions in a new country so that I believe that I could to profit from this year.

Besides, I wish to know this country’s language which I shall have chosen. On the other hand, I shall a little be afraid of going abroad alone without my family and my friends.

Indeed, I am not self-confident and sometimes I don’t manage to cope with myself.

In addition, to find a job is difficult now especially when we are young .

That is to say, it would be an successful experience, a fiasco as I could go wrong and misbehave since I will be unsupervised.

Thus, I will go back home .

In other words, I will go backwards.

To my mind, if I will spend a year abroad, I should be bold, daring and courageous in particular to find not too expensive a place to sleep or to adapt me to this new environment. All in all, if I had this opportunity, I would jump for joy because it would be a great experience! I am an achiever and a go-getter ,so to go abroad during one year would be an occasion to discover a new country! (329 words). »
