　　A Boom in Adult Education

　　Presently, more and more adults spend their spare time trying to improve themselves. As we know, a lot of adults work in the daytime. After working hard all day, they rush home, gulp down their meals and hurry out to study in the night school.

　　But why is there a boom in adult education? There are  several reasons. Firstly, people know clearly that knowledge is power and that it is never too old to learn. Secondly, without knowledge, you cannot be qualified for a good position. More knowledge means more opportunities for better jobs and quicker promotion, while lack of skills and knowledge might deprive one of the opportunities to be promoted. Moreover, in today＇s competitive society, if you want to be a cut above the rest, you have to learn as much as possible.

　　In a word, people go back to school for the common goal to improve themselves, which, in turn, helps to raise the intellectual standard of the whole nation, As college students, we should make full use of our school time, try to master more skills and at the same time put our＇ knowledge into practice.
