Six years ago, Ann graduated(毕业) from college with a degree in Art. Now she is twenty-nine and works for a large computer company. She takes classes twice a week after work. She is learning to use the computer program PowerPoint. “I enjoy the college, but my job doesn’t use the information I learned at college.“ Ann says. ”The course is helping me to do my job better.”
In the past, when students graduated from college and got a job, they usually stopped studying. Today, lifelong learning is becoming more common. In many countries, some people return to school in their late twenties, thirties, or even older to get a higher degree. More people are taking training courses to improve their working skills after work. People can also get degrees or training through the Internet.
Ann’s sixty-year-old mother and father are taking courses in Art and Music. “We love these two subjects. Learning is so much fun.”They say happily, “It’s never too old to learn.”
