The first document is a graph of mobile students, it represents the various destinations of for the a gap year .
We can see in general the students generally prefere going in to Western Europe and North America  We can remarks notice there are more and more students which who take a gap year.
Graduates to get gap year money (do not write the title of a document, mention it in your second paragraph, see below)
The second document, entitled 'Graduates to get gap year money', is the explication explanation of the British government's decision. It's a pay grant for 500 young people to get a job to go on trips aboads. It's was make created to help new graduates "develop "the communication and leadership skills that are so highty volved in the worthplace." (can your reformulate in your won words ?)
Finding the best country to study (same remark as before)
The third document 'Finding the best country' shows the tips to find the best countries to study abroad. For example, they  the cultureal aspects, the language, your dreams ideal destination...
English language stats
The fourth document it's is about /deals with  language statistics. Stats we can see that native speakers speak mostly mandarin Chinese and that the number of English speakers on in the world to great (??)
Finding the best country to study
The fours document show the favourite destinations to young people would flock to (France, the United Kingdom....) For me, the best destination is South America because we can learn a new language and it's important for world work working abroad
The last two documents explain the most important activities in a gadp year and the less important.

For us, the choice which are sensible are 
-are the destination (culture, language) 
-the goal
-the prize 
-the landscape ]]> 2018-11-27 09:40:07 UTC https://padlet.com/marise_graziosi1/8lss7id787p4/wish/308174164 Mélissa V, writer https://padlet.com/marise_graziosi1/8lss7id787p4/wish/308174530 If you want to make your the best of a gap year it's depends of on  what you want to do. (Develop your introduction)
First, there is North America. It's is a destination which attracts young people,  in particular if you are looking for a job. You have the choices to live in a big city like New York, to developp your marketing skills, but also in a little town.
After, there is are countries like Australia, New Zealand, Africa and Asia, where you can do volunteering. It can be interested interesting to developp your humanity if you want to work in a social field.
Finally there is Europe, it's is a good system of education, it's especially  attracts especially students.

But we can see that Britain it's is the best destination, because of all the possibilities.
First, English is the most important first and second language as first and second language in the world, especially for to work.
Then, The British government help young students to get a job abroad with a financial help.
(Good approach of the key question. You just have to develop your ideas and insert more structure in your reflexion to produce a clear conclusion + ask your expert to help you enrich the vocabulary)

To have a wonderful gap year you have to choose the best destination. In 1975 the best destination were was the Western Europe because 300 mobile students went there and (mot de liaison à étoffer) it's is the same in 2007 but there are many others good destinations like Noerth America or the Arab States. Some young people go to Italy or France to discover over other cultures. And(mot de liaison à étoffer) to find the best countries to study you have to know if it's is a country where you always wanted to see visit, you have to find a comfortable location and what are your personal , academic and professional goals are. You can do volunteering in remote communities that can help new graduates to develop new things (too vague a word : do you mean 'skills' ?). There are 750 million people who speak English as a foreign language in the world in 2008. In your gap year you can do a lot of things like working, waiting for course, voluntary work or others things (too vague a word : do you mean 'activities' ?). In a gap year you can travel, do volunteering, intering (???) or work exchange participate to an exchange programme.

Doing a gap year is benefic attractive to have an other point of view on teh the world.
(The question was : Which choices are sensible to make the best of a gap year ?.. so you had to list the advantages or drawbacks / qualities or flaws for each possibility and make a common choice at the end)

This is why we can look for the best option for a gap year.

First of all, it is very important to choose the right destination which includes English-speaking countries like Canada, Australia, Ireland which are known for their education system because they have as well as a good economic system to help the young student with a scholarship.

It becomes important for student to study abroad, which is showed in the graphic about the evolution of the student mobility from 1975 to 2007. So they have two tips types of young people : some one want to study and they others want to discover new places.
Notwithstanding, the most commonly spoken language in the world is the Chinese / Madarin so it is why the central Asia is the third place where students want to go.
The English government help the students to have a scholarship because (try to diversify and improve your linkwords)they want to sensitise for the to volunteering and they want to develop their the students' eloquence and their buisness knowledge.
We can concluded To conclude, the a gap year is important for the life of young people because it can give new senses,sensibility, knowledge and a life style. We think ERASMUS is a good way to achieve this. ]]> 2018-11-27 09:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/marise_graziosi1/8lss7id787p4/wish/308178987 Claude Arnaud speaker https://padlet.com/marise_graziosi1/8lss7id787p4/wish/308180117 2018-11-27 10:00:36 UTC https://padlet.com/marise_graziosi1/8lss7id787p4/wish/308180117 Chayma Y, expert https://padlet.com/marise_graziosi1/8lss7id787p4/wish/308180599 Gap year : année sabbatique

The documents show us how to make the best of a gap year, in fact, in the first document, we can see that the number of students has grown. In fact in 1975 the number of students who went in to Arab states, was 0,8 million and in 2007 it was 2,8 million. (mind your punctuation !)
Contrary rily of to the Arab States, the number of students who went in to Western Europe has stagnated Durant (!) for 15 years and has grown a little bit until 2007
In the second document (identify a document from its nature) we can see that you should to ask yourself questions to know if you’are able to travel on your own and what kind of culture agree  fits on you
If you’re ready to go but if you don’t have money, the British government has decided to help so you must to do gait take action for so that taking a gap year could be affordable to you. Morever, it is necessary to speak in English when you go abroad because it is one of the most commonly spoken language spoken (Are you sure you have studied the statistics carefully ?)
Lastly, to do make the best of a gap year, you must to  a good idea is to choose a work exchange because the cost it is more affordable less expensive, you should to do get involved into volunteering and you should to travel in other places to can be ale to discover from others ways of life in the country where you are.

We can see graphiques about estimations of mobiles students and also a graphique about all the opportunities to go on a gap year. As we can see in document number 4 , the Government is also part of those gap year. The government takes in charge 500 students under 24 years old and invites them to go on a gap year and pay the integrality of there their  needs. An amazing gap year would be also learn how to speak Chinese as we can see in document number 7. Almost 900 students learn how to skip speak Chinese on there their gap year or even Spanish or German or French. An amazing destination would be Asia! If I have the opportunity to go on a gap year one day I wouldn’t want to be as disappointed as Annie ( cf the article of about Annie studied in classe, a disappointed girl who went no on  a gap year in Spain and came back crying tears of joy when she came back to her own country).

This number experienced a growth of 350% in 32 years, and the number is still growing as of today. The government of the United Kingdom, for example, financially helps 500 Young’s under 24 to go abroad to help some less favorited favoured nations, such as the Costa Rica and India. English is the third most speakers native language spoken, tie with (???) Spanish, but far below Chinese. Approximately 1,5 billions people around the world speak English, mostly as a foreign national languages, but for 700 millions, as a primary or secondary language. People can do different types of gap years, working or studying, but also discovering a new country, which can makes a resume more attractive. Working in the UK, traveling but also studying elsewhere are the three most represented categories of activities made during a gap years by students. We think that studying or working in a foreign country is the best choice because it helps with the resume and gives more experience for our futures as employees.]]> 2018-11-28 08:09:38 UTC https://padlet.com/marise_graziosi1/8lss7id787p4/wish/308657105 Esteban G, expert https://padlet.com/marise_graziosi1/8lss7id787p4/wish/308659173 grpah a graph : un graphique
