Transcript:Transcript: A working holiday is when you spend a significant amount of time in another country and have the working rights to back it up. You are able to pick up a job or two (or 6) and break that arrangement up by traveling or moving on to a new location in the country. In general, a working holiday visa grants you access to a country for a longer period of time than a standard tourist visa. In Australia, for example, the typical tourist visa is for 3 months while a working holiday visa is for 12 months. With a working holiday visa, you can work as you go, meaning you won’t necessarily go into debt while spending time abroad. Your method of travel may vary. Some prefer to travel up-front for several months and then spend the rest of the time working in one or two different 参考答案整理自网络 欢迎关注公众号——“建大小菁晶” 2 locations. Others prefer to work for a month, travel for a month and then work for a month again. Either way, the travel is sustainable in the sense that you can keep refilling your travel funds with employment. With a working holiday visa, you are basically given the opportunity to test out any type of job, and you are probably put in a position to accept ones that you normally wouldn’t when at home. You never know what you might discover. A working holiday, in this sense, could end up being a life-changing experience. Moreover, by taking up employment in a country abroad, you are more likely to meet and make friends with the locals, not just other tourists, and that can do wonders for really introducing you to a new culture. A working holiday also makes a good break. A popular time to sign up for a working holiday is that break between high school and college or the break after college and before entering the real working world. Later working holiday experiences are often used by individuals as a way to explore the new and unknown. Taking part in a working holiday is a great idea to consider.
