        A gap year is traditionally described as a one-year break from a student’s education. In some western countries, it is common for high school or college graduates to take a gap year before going into college or after completing their undergraduate studies. During this time, students can engage in a variety of activities ranging from working or learning to volunteering or traveling. For example, some students travel to another country to learn a foreign language, take an adventurous journey, find employment, or work to save an endangered species during their gap year.

       Supporters of the gap year believe that the one-year leave provides students with perfect opportunities to explore the real world and expand their visions. In addition, with such a productive year of personal life experiences, these gap-year students will be able to further develop their resumes to benefit their future career search. 

      However, opponents argue that one year away from school can lead to unsatisfactory academic progress because students treat it as an opportunity to take a break and have fun. Because some gap-year experiences like studying abroad or other academic learning programs can be quite expensive, financial concerns are often considered a major disadvantage of undertaking a gap year. Whether to take a gap-year leave, students will have to discuss with their teachers and parents.

        People living in Taiwan like to eat fruit. Seasonal fruits from all over the island are available in traditional markets and supermarkets. Farmers often need a lot of land to grow their fruits. However, some types of fruit do not require any outdoor space to grow your own fruit. You just need patience because it usually takes more than a year before you can enjoy lemons, avocados, or other delicious fruits when they are grown indoors.
        Lemons, oranges, grapefruits, and limes are types of citrus fruit that can all be grown indoors. They will also give your home a citrus aroma all year round. The process of planting such fruit is actually quite simple. You just need to rinse the seeds with water and plant them in damp soil, river sand, or special soil suitable for citrus fruits. Each seed should be placed in a pot. The young plants that have grown from the seeds should get enough light, but they should be protected from midday sun and dry air. The winter weather is also suitable for your citrus plants.
        An avocado can be easily grown from its pit. You need to remove the flesh around the pit carefully, wash it gently, and then plant it in the soil. Alternatively, you can stick three toothpicks, 120 degrees apart into the middle of the seed and balance the pit in a cup of water without inserting it into the water completely. Once the plant has developed a root system in the water, take it out, and bury it in the soil. It will be better to keep the temperature at 18°C before the leaves come into bloom. Avocados love sunlight and heat, so place your avocado plant next to a sunny windowsill. The more light it gets, the better fruit it produces.
