A Boom in Adult Education
Every Tuesday and Friday evening sees Miss Li，my neighbor and a secretary in a company rush home after a hard day＇s work，gulp down her meals and then hurry out to catch the bus for her English class.Miss Li＇s case is not unique，and now more and more city adults spend their leisure time trying to improve themselves at school or college.
There are a number of reasons for people to go back for their education.Some people，like Miss Li，are doing it to acquire another degree or diploma to impress the society.To them more knowledge，or rather，more credentials means more opportunities for better jobs and quicker promotion.
成人教育的繁榮
每個星期二和星期五晚上看到李小姐，經過一天艱苦的工作，我的鄰居和＇公司趕回家，一個秘書，吞下她吃飯然后趕緊去車上她的英語課。李小姐的情況并非獨特，現在越來越多的城市成年人在學校或大學里度過他們的業余時間來提高自己的時間。
有很多理由可以為他們的教育。有些人，如李小姐，都在做這件事來獲得另一個學位或文憑來給社會留下深刻印象。對他們更多的知識，或者說，更多的證書意味著更多的機會，更好的工作和更快的晉升。
Other people，especially those who are laid off or out of employment go to vocational school to prepare to return to the job market.They are eager for new skills so that they can be qualified for the jobs in retail trade，administration，education and other service categories to which they are strange because most of them were blue-collar workers in the factory.
There are also people who come to take such courses as Chinese traditional medicine，painting，calligraphy and photography.As their working weeks decline people begin to have time to fulfill their old dream of their heart＇s desire.
Out of necessity or out of interest，people go back to school for the common goal——to improve themselves，and this boom in adult education，in turn，helps to raise the intellectual standard of the whole country.
其他人，特別是下崗或失業的人去職業學校，準備回到就業市場。他們渴望新的技能，使他們能夠勝任在零售行業，管理，教育和其他服務類的工作，他們是奇怪的，因為他們大多是藍領工人在工廠。
也有人前來參加中國傳統醫學、繪畫、書法、攝影等課程。當他們工作周的時候，人們開始有時間來滿足他們對他們內心渴望的愿望。
出于必要或出于興趣，人們為了共同的目標去上學，為了提高自己，而這一熱潮在成人教育，反過來，有助于提高整個國家的智力水平。
