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.
成人教育的繁荣
每个星期二和星期五晚上看到李小姐，经过一天艰苦的工作，我的邻居和＇公司赶回家，一个秘书，吞下她吃饭然后赶紧去车上她的英语课。李小姐的情况并非独特，现在越来越多的城市成年人在学校或大学里度过他们的业余时间来提高自己的时间。
有很多理由可以为他们的教育。有些人，如李小姐，都在做这件事来获得另一个学位或文凭来给社会留下深刻印象。对他们更多的知识，或者说，更多的证书意味着更多的机会，更好的工作和更快的晋升。
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，特别是下岗或失业的人去职业学校，准备回到就业市场。他们渴望新的技能，使他们能够胜任在零售行业，管理，教育和其他服务类的工作，他们是奇怪的，因为他们大多是蓝领工人在工厂。
也有人前来参加中国传统医学、绘画、书法、摄影等课程。当他们工作周的时候，人们开始有时间来满足他们对他们内心渴望的愿望。
出于必要或出于兴趣，人们为了共同的目标去上学，为了提高自己，而这一热潮在成人教育，反过来，有助于提高整个国家的智力水平。
