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.
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.
每星期二和星期五晚上我都會看到我的鄰居秘書李小姐在一天的辛苦工作之后，從公司趕回家，吞下她做的飯然后趕快追上車去上她的英語課。李小姐的情況不是唯一的，現在城市里越來越多的成年人把他們的閑暇時間花在學校里提高自己。
有一些人回到學校去接受教育的原因。有些人像李小姐這樣是想再取得一個學位或文憑給社會留下深刻印象。更多的知識，或者說，更多的證書意味著更快更好的工作和更多晉升機會。
其他人，尤其是那些下崗或失業到職業學校準備重返工作崗位。他們渴望新的技能，使他們可以在零售業，管理，教育和其他服務類有職業技能。他們很奇怪，因為他們大多是在工廠的藍領工人。
也有人來參加傳統醫學，繪畫，書法，攝影等課程。由于他們的工作周下降，人們開始有時間去實現他們內心的舊夢想。
出于需要和興趣，人們回到學校為共同的目標——提高自己。成人教育蓬勃發展，反過來，有助于提高整個國家的知識水平。
