“Lifelong learning” is a popular idea all around the world, but what does it mean?
Many people believe we can learn everything we need to be successful in life at school. ______ it is not true. In modern society, everything changes very fast. Lifelong leaning means learning new skills and knowledge through our ______ lives, not just when we are young.
Lifelong leaning can also mean leaning something to make our lives happier or easier. Older people might attend a ______ course because they cannot send an e-mail to their children, or someone might learn a new ______ so they can talk to their foreign neighbor. In one American city neighborhood, all the women went to a self-defense(自我防护) class so they could fight back if a thief attacked them! All these are different examples of lifelong learning.
Lifelong learning has helped people like Peter J. Daniels, an Australian businessman. Peter grew up poor and when he was a child he experienced learning difficulties. A teacher once told him, “Peter, you will never become anything in life.” After leaving school, Peter became a builder, but he still wanted to _____ and learn how to read. He bought a dictionary and slowly taught himself how to pronounce words and form sentences. Later, Peter started to read books from cover to cover. He read 6,000 books on politics, religion, business and history in two years. All this knowledge helped Peter start a business career. He has written several books and received many honours and awards.
