Part I Writing

Learning Should Be A Lifelong Process

It is often said that learning is a daily experience and a lifetime mission, which

indicates the importance of lifelong learning we have been lectured over and over again.

Lifelong learning is crucial to our life and career in modern society. Living in such an

era of rapid development of information, we have to keep pace with times through

ceaseless learning; otherwise, we’ll be too out to seize many opportunities. For example,

a taxi driver who learns to use a Taxi App such as Didi can make much more money than

those who don’t every day; a housewife who opens a shop online can even out-earn a

white-collar worker. All of their successes can be attributed to their constant learning in

addition to the progress of technology.

There is an old saying that you are never too old to learn. Thus, learning is an attitude

regardless of age. Only through learning ceaselessly can we achieve our potential and

live a better life in this rapidly developing society.
