Part I. On Lifelong Learning
With the rapid development of modern society, lifelong learning has been increas-

ingly important. People need to improve themselves all the time by learning in order to adapt to the fast changes and fierce competition in the society. They have to learn about the latest development and techniques to equip themselves.
We can achieve lifelong education in several ways. First, you can choose distant education. Most famous universities have set up their own distant education college to help people realize their dreams. Secondly, there are various kinds of training courses and night courses. People can take advantage of their spare time to learn what they are interested in, such as English, computer skills and drawing. In addition, people can study all by themselves. They can read books in a library or a bookstore in their free time.
I prefer to distant education provided by some universities. As is known, colleges have excellent faculty, modern teaching facilities and strong learning atmosphere. By distant education courses, we can enjoy these resources, learning more knowledge and making bigger and quicker progress.
