4 -Discussing a gap year-
Education Discussing a gap yearIf I don't get the grades I need to get into Manchester, I think I'll defer and take a gap year. Se non ottengo i voti necessari per entrare all'università di Manchester credo che rimanderò e mi prenderò un anno di pausa.I'm thinking of going backpacking in Australia with my boyfriend. Sto pensando di andare a fare un viaggio zaino in spalla in Australia con il mio ragazzo.I'll probably sign on with a temping agency for a few months to pay for the trip. Probabilmente mi iscriverò a un'agenzia di lavoro temporaneo per qualche mese per potermi pagare il viaggio.I wouldn't mind doing some conservation work abroad or something like that. Non mi dispiacerebbe fare un lavoro per la tutela dell'ambiente all'estero o qualcosa di simile.Have you looked into overseas conservation work? Hai indagato sui lavori per l'ambiente all'estero?I've phoned a few conservation organizations to ask for a brochure. Ho chiamato alcune organizzazioni ambientaliste per chiedere un dépliant.
