Answer
- A: Don't you think (that) everyone who finishes university should have a gap year?
- B: I don't agree. Isn't it better to start working / work as soon as possible so that you (can) get work experience?
- A: Yes, but doesn't a gap year give people a different kind of experience?
- B: A gap year is just a long holiday. Surely a year working / a year's work is more useful?
- A: I disagree. A year off gives people a chance to think about their career.
- B: Haven't most 22-year-olds decided by that age?
- A: Not always. People often end up in a job they hate. Anyway, surely it's worth trying?
- B: I'm still not convinced. I think it's a waste of time.
