These days, more and more students in the UK are taking a “gap year”between their graduation from school and their university studies. This means they can take a year off to do something else, before they start their studies.

For most students, spending time in foreign countries is the favorite activity --- and Australia is the favorite place to go.

Many parents, teachers and business people agree that travelling can teach important values.

“After a year of travelling, I felt I’d grown up. I had learnt the importance of relationships with people, on all kinds of levels.”

There are many companies around the world that welcome these students on their projects---helping people in poorer countries, or even in your home country. Although you don’t get paid for your work, this kind of work can teach important skills---decision making and finding answers to problems, for example---that will help many students in a job one day.

Finally, getting some knowledge and experience in an area you hope to study or work in one day will always be very useful.

If several university graduates are applying(申請) for the same job, gar year work experience allows you to say,

“ I’ve already had some experience of this kind of work.” And that can get your job.

Train stations and airports are crowded, babies are crying, and passengers are arguing. The same story also happens during rush hours in big cities every day. When there is a crowd, people lose their tempers(脾氣)easily. What makes polite travelers suddenly forget their manners?

One of the causes is a crowded cabin(車廂). It makes you feel a distance from your sense of self. In other words, you’re no longer yourself.

Tiredness also makes travelers lose their self-control. Think about all those traffic jams on the way to a train station, the long line waiting to enter the station and the busy phone calls from family, friends and workmates. When travelers finally get on the train, their patience has already run out.

Besides, a lack(缺乏)of sleep gives travelers a temper. If we are forces to get up early, many of us will act much more impatiently.

So, how can we make the world a better place when we’re traveling with a big crowd? Try to improve the atmosphere(氣氛). If it’s a flight, the air hostess could stand in front of the cabin, saying things like, “How many of you are going home?” or “Raise your hand if you’ve never been on an airplane before.”

What’s more, everyone can be helpful, such as giving the person next to you a smile, offering the seat to a needy person, and saying “It’s OK”if someone steps on your feet.
