When people seek an education, they expect to receive knowledge that will help them in their future careers and in other facets of life. However, learning does not stop when someone discontinues formal education in a classroom setting. Lifelong learning is a process followed by many across this world who want to expand their knowledge and understanding of vital things, events, occupations, hobbies, and interests. As long as life lasts, they continue to learn.
It is common understanding that information learned in any setting usually lasts three to five years and then it has to be updated and upgraded. This is very true in areas such as computers, science, space, and technology where the ever-widening scope of knowledge increases rapidly. It may not be possible to keep up with this phenomenal growth of knowledge, and, therefore, one must continue learning throughout life.
Universities around the world have limited spaces for students; thus they have stringent entrance requirements. Those who cannot enter university seek to educate themselves by holding part-time jobs or by being part-time students. Others go to night classes, distance learning courses, home study courses, or through self-study books. Some dropouts might seek to continue learning after they find a job or after they raise a family. No one should be hindered from seeking an education; however, only those who earnestly look for opportunities will eventually find them.

Lifelong learning is a very important concept. It is not a new concept, however, China has been working in the area of lifelong learning for a number of years as we have in Britain. The idea of lifelong learning is that people do not only learn at school and then at university, but that to be really productive members of society, people have to continue their education throughout their lives. A recent study in Britain and the United States showed that what people called the half-life of learning is five years. In other words, of everything you learn now, only half of it will be relevant in five years’ time, which means you have to constantly renew your knowledge, renew your understanding, in order to be able to keep your skills up to the needs of the developing global society.
The whole purpose of lifelong learning is to fit people for work, for leisure, for their personal development, and their personal satisfaction. That’s a very important aim, I think. In Britain, as in China today, we went through a very difficult process of societal change. We experienced a very difficult process of change in the nature of our industry and economy. We have now made it through that successfully. Our unemployment is very low. That’s by and large because we constantly train and retrain our workers so they are able to be productive. The worst thing possible for a person is to no longer be needed. If their skills are out of date, their opportunities to find work will be not as good. If they do find work, then it’s highly possible that it will be for reduced wages. So, for us, the whole thing about lifelong learning is that individuals should be able to constantly renew their skills in order to remain productive and to enjoy their lives. Lifelong learning never stops.

答案
Lifelong learning is considered as a characteristic of the age. One of the issues that the information age has put to the forefront is that it is no longer enough to learn new things. Several years ago, people often worked for the same job from graduation till retirement. Today, however, it is common for people to change jobs and learn new things constantly even after they start working. Everybody has to learn new things all the time. Lifelong learning is important for people so that they can keep up with the fast changing world. Generally speaking, people seeking an education expect to receive knowledge that will help them in their future careers and life. In today’s world of constant innovation, people will never stop learning. They must learn new and valuable things through lifelong learning so that they won’t fall behind in the competitive job market. This is especially true in such areas as computer, science, and technology. Lifelong learning is followed by people who would like to broaden their horizons in vital things, events, occupations, hobbies, and interests and so on. Besides, each one of us needs to have good study habits in and right attitudes towards learning and to develop learning skills and learn how to learn. As the saying goes "never too old to learn", people continue to learn so long as life lasts.
