You’ve just finished high school and you’ve got a place at university, but you’d really like a break from your
studies. Why not think about taking a year out? While most students go straight from school to university, more and
more young people today are choosing to spend a year at “the University of Life” first.
There are lots of things to choose from. You could work in a bank or in a restaurant. You might even do something
adventurous, such as joining an expedition to the Amazon rain forest. The experience will broaden your knowledge and
teach you new skills. It may also give you the chance to earn money, which will be very helpful when you eventually

start your studies.
If you are interested in taking a year out, you must make sure that the university will hold your place for you till next
year. Most are quite happy to do this, as they find that year-out students are more mature, confident and independent.
But don’t forget it’s a year out, not a year off. Your university will want to know what you are going to do. They won’t
be very pleased if you just want to do nothing for a year. So what would you do with a year out?

As working women continue to receive better and better wages, housewives still work at home without receiving
pay-checks. Should a woman who works at home, doing the housework and caring for children, be paid for her
services? In a 1986 study at Cornell University, sociologists found that the value of the services of a housewife
averaged $ 11,600 a year. This rate was based on a family consisting of a husband, a wife and three young children.
The $11,600 is what the husband would have to pay if he hired someone to take over his wife’s household chores. The
researchers concluded that it would be fair for husbands to pay wives according to federal guidelines for minimum
wages.

after that and learned everything she could about the ocean creatures that inhabited it.
That little girl was Eugenie Clark, and her first visit to the aquarium occurred over 75 years ago. She grew up to
become the “Shark Lady,” famous for her knowledge of sharks. Clark’s knowledge came from her observations of
sharks in the ocean where they lived naturally. She learned how to scuba dive so she didn’t have to watch them in an

aquarium tank. In the ocean, she could swim right next to them or even ride them. One, she rode a 12-meter whale
shark.
Clark not only swam with fish, she also went to college to learn more about them. In 1940, it was unusual for a
woman to get a doctorate degree in natural science. But she had a great passion for her work, and she didn’t let
anything stop her.
Clark has dedicated her life to studying, writing, and teaching about fish, especially shark. Even now in her eighties,
she continues to dive to learn more about 370 species of sharks. One of her favorite sharks is the lemon shark, which is
good student and can be trained. Humans are not the only one to learn from Eugenie Clark.
