Angela and her grandpa are talking about keeping learning throughout life. Listen and read.
Keep learning through life!
|
Angela: Grandpa, sorry I'm a bit late, but I had to do a lot of homework and missed the bus. If I hadn't missed it, I'd have come at least 30 minutes earlier Grandpa: No problem. Your grandma is still out shopping. Angela: What are you reading, grandpa? You look really excited! Grandpa: Well, I've joined the Lifelong Learning Institute and I've chosen some interesting courses to attend. Do you want to have a look at their brochure? Angela: OK. But I thought you are retired now? Why do you need to study? And what's this lifelong learning? Do you mean learning all the time? Grandpa: Kind of … These courses are not just for retired people. They are for everyone who is interested.

Angela: Oh, no, I don't think I'd want to study all my life. Twelve years in compulsory education seems enough for me. Grandpa: Yes, but things change all the time. There are new ideas and concepts that you need to understand in order to succeed! As a lifelong learner, you can also choose what and how to study. This type of learning is self-directed. Angela: Sounds great, but how can I find the time to attend courses when I have a full-time job? Grandpa: Well, you could do an online course with discussion sessions in the evening or at the weekend. You can do it from the comfort of your own home. The key thing is to enjoy learning and acquire new skills all the time. Angela: Sounds nice. So lifelong learning is all about learning to enjoy learning? Grandpa: That's right. It's voluntary and selfmotivated. People usually take time to study for personal or professional reasons, depending on their needs and learning styles. Angela: But what about you? Why do you need to do all these courses? Digital technology, art history, French literature? These courses all sound difficult to me. If I had known that, I'd have brought you my Information Technology textbook. Grandpa: Well, it's important for me to try new things and keep my brain healthy and fit. I can also meet and talk to different people, and make new friends. Angela: Good luck, grandpa. Hope you enjoy the courses.
