Some students choose to work or travel after leaving school and before going to university. Many people, however, say that working experience is more useful in adult life than [travel. Do](http://travel.Do) you agree or disagree with this statement？

> People have different views about whether students should travel or work during the gap between graduating from high school and going to university.Although there are various benefits students can gain from a working environment, I personally think that teenagers should travel during that time.
> 
> On the one hand, travel could be extremely useful for people to release their stress and benefit their mental health.Because most students in high school have very busy schedule on learning different subjects, they do not have time to relax or arrange trips.But during the vacation, they could experience different cultures and visit attractions and landmarks so that to empty their minds and refresh themselves.
> 
> On the other hand, students could connect to the real world through traveling, because adult life is not only about work, but also relates to planning, searching for information, socializing, communicating and problem-solving.A real traveling can really help young teenagers to practice all these useful skills.For example, before the journey, they need to collect tons of informations about the destinations so that they can design suitable itineraries, apart from that, they can also practice booking a flight or making a reservation for accomondation. During the journey, they can not avoid to talk to local residents or need to negotiate with people when they are shopping, and the most important is that they will learn how to deal with emergency circumstances, because there are always unexpected things happen during vacations.
> 
> In conclusion, travel is the best way for teenagers to relax and make connection with the real world, and give them a chance to practice some useful skills, which can benefit them a lot in their later adults life.
