Supporting my agreement to the given statement. I firmly believe that getting a holiday to go to travel after hard studying is a good idea. In other words travelling one of the most interesting and exciting activity because it is a good way of learning and knowing culture and traditions of another country. Moreover, it is a good chance to start communicate with international students and have an experience in getting well with every people. For instance you can meet a person who also travel and planning to continue his studying after getting some pause and discuss your future aims and some situations and help to each other with making some decisions.
Explaining some of another supporting points in against this statement, it is true that you can miss one year with which you will continue your studying and improving your own skiils. I mean that after graduating if person apply to institute or university it will be more effective because your mind is fresh and good for learning new information.
