‘When’ in example 3 is not a time word it is a question word.
Example 2 refers to the present/future.
We use the present tense after a time word when the sentence refers to the future.
We use commas to separate the main clause from the time clause when the time clause comes first.

My gap year experience was amazing. I spent eight months on an isolated sheep station in the outback of Australia. I was a ‘jillaroo’ and I had to groom horses, clean out the stables and help with the sheep shearing. It was really hard work. The shearers were brilliant and really fast. I learnt a lot about looking after horses and sheep, mending fences, lassoing and whip cracking, too. I got to relax in the evenings by toasting marshmallows over a campfire and playing my guitar and singing songs. The sky was the starriest I’d ever seen. I had a fantastic time and I really miss riding in the Australian outback.
I had to do a work-based learning project as a requirement for my degree so I decided to volunteer in a small village in Zambia not far from the capital Lusaka. When I arrived at the school, I was amazed to see the children using rolled-up plastic bags held together with sticky tape to play football. We marked out a football pitch in a clearing in the woods and made our own goalposts and our first practice session was a great success with 75 kids. The kids were so happy to play, it made me step back and think about what’s important in life.
I interrupted my Music degree to take a year off and visit Italy to get a taste of opera. I lived with an Italian family and had language lessons every morning. In the afternoons, I had private voice coaching lessons, rehearsals and pilates classes to develop my muscles for better breathing control. The highlight of my stay was performing opera at an open-air concert in a beautiful piazza. When I finish my degree, I hope to return to Italy and continue studying opera.

I think Chelsea learnt the value of hard work as well as plenty of new skills such as looking after horses and mending fences.
I think Paul learnt to appreciate the simple things in life.
I think Olivia learnt that it is important to understand the meanings of the words when you are singing in a foreign language because it takes her performance to a different level.

I would choose to work on a sheep station in the Australian outback. I think it would be a unique experience as I love animals and the outdoors.
I would choose to coach football to children in Zambia because I enjoy sports and I think it would be worthwhile to volunteer in a needy part of the world. I think it would also help me to appreciate the simple things in life.
I would choose to study opera in the Italian countryside. I think it would be a great cultural experience to stay with an Italian family and learn the language to better understand the music.
