The Half-year VacationEven though nowadays more and more Chinese high-school students choose to study abroad in university, they are still a special students group. At least in on aspect, they are different from other Chinese high-school students who have to take Gao Kao to get to university. That is, some of them don't have to take any class in school during the second senior semester. Since they are going to university in foreign countries, such as United States, UK , Canada and Australia, once they have finished all the required tests like TOEFL(Test of English as a Foreign Language), IELTS (International English Language Testing System) and SAT and also submitted their admissions to universities and colleges, there will be a nearly half-year "vacation" ahead of them. They don't have to take any compulsive course in the high school and can spend the time at their own disposal. It 's just like the gap year which some students will experience during their sophomore or junior year. So during that kind of vacation, the Chinese students may also experient something different and memorable. And this period of time has a significant influence not only on them, but also on their college life.
