Text A. You probably know that many students in the West take
"some time off" (usually a year) before going into Higher
Education. Read the text and express your opinion on ad-
vantages / disadvantages of such a practice
Eighteen-year-old Chandra passed her "A" levels in June and has
a place at London University to study pharmacy. This year she has
chosen not to go straight to London. "I needed a year out", she ex-
plains.
"The subject I am going to study will lead, hopefully, to a career
in industry. But I realized that I don’t know anything about the world
of work. I’ve spent the past six years having a great time in my girls’
boarding school but I now need a year of responsibility.
I wrote to a few well-known pharmaceutical companies and one
of them offered me a job in their laboratory as a "work placement" I am
testing anti-flammatory drugs at the moment and getting to know more
about the technology used in my chosen field. Apart from gaining prac-
tical experience, I’m also earning money for the first time in my life!
The company is pleased with my work and have offered to sponsor me
through university. They will pay me an extra 1,800 a year while I’m
studying and I can work in the labs during the holidays.
And at the end of my studies there will be the option of working
for them. It has all worked out so well!", says Chandra enthusiastically.

Life at college
There are 46 universities in Britain. Good "A" level results in at
least two subjects are necessary to get a place at one. However, good
exam passes are not enough. Universities choose their students after
interviews, and competition for places at university is fierce.
