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.
成人教育的发展
每星期二和星期五晚上我都会看到我的邻居秘书李小姐在一天的辛苦工作之后，从公司赶回家，吞下她做的饭然后赶快追上车去上她的英语课。李小姐的情况不是唯一的，现在城市里越来越多的成年人把他们的闲暇时间花在学校里提高自己。
有一些人回到学校去接受教育的原因。有些人像李小姐这样是想再取得一个学位或文凭给社会留下深刻印象。更多的知识，或者说，更多的证书意味着更快更好的工作和更多晋升机会。
其他人，尤其是那些下岗或失业到职业学校准备重返工作岗位。他们渴望新的技能，使他们可以在零售业，管理，教育和其他服务类有职业技能。他们很奇怪，因为他们大多是在工厂的蓝领工人。
也有人来参加传统医学，绘画，书法，摄影等课程。由于他们的工作周下降，人们开始有时间去实现他们内心的旧梦想。
出于需要和兴趣，人们回到学校为共同的目标提高自己。成人教育蓬勃发展，反过来，有助于提高整个国家的知识水平。
