Working Holiday

        Today I heard nice presentation about Working Holiday. It awakes my experience that I had prepared Working Holiday once before. When heard Working Holiday 4 years ago, I was surprised at that time; because, I thought that Working Holiday give me lots of opportunities. From that time I had prepared some documents and my bank accounts to get Working Holiday Visa from Australia Embassy; however, in the middle of getting information about Working Holiday, I had realized that Working Holiday has not only opportunities but risks. Furthermore, those risks are quite serious than I had expected. This essay is based on my experience.
        “Working + Holiday” what a nice sound is it? Before gotten negative side, I just thought and considered about opportunities of Working Holiday such as making foreign friends, trip abroad, earning money and improving English skill; however, had been getting information bit by bit, I had realized that there are a few students who had gotten opportunities. It means many of students, who had gotten and experienced Working Holiday, had been disappointed with their Working Holiday. I have a friend who has studied at Macquarie University in Sydney. He told me his Working Holiday experiences such as minimum wage, hard to get a part time job, hard to study with working, hard to make foreign friends, gambling and prostitution, and he had suggested that it is better to go to England to study English and experience lot of culture. From that time I just thought why I have to go to abroad and which more efficacious way is. At last I decided England to study English. As you know, studying English in England is much expensive than Australia, and there is no Working Holiday; however, I thought that just concentrate on study English without working is more efficacious way and saving time and saving money. Even England has a quite good system than the others to manage study and working. It is just needed to work in England with student visa. Just visiting Social Security near your house and conducting speaking test, and getting National Insurance Number that is all. If you get a National Insurance Number, you can work with student visa 20-hour a week legitimately.
        Simply put, my personal opinion is that before going to abroad to study, please make sure what is your aim, then getting information and make your itinerary. Without itinerary and information, there is no opportunity. An indefinite plan means an indefinite life.
