NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN!
	Education is a life-long process that not only provides us with basic skills such as literacy and numeracy, but is also essential in (41) our future lives. From the moment we enter kindergartens as small children and as we progress through primary and secondary education, we are laying the foundations for the life ahead of us. We must discipline ourselves to work hard (42) we can pass exams and gain the qualifications we will need to secure a good job. We must also acquire valuable life skills so that we can fit in and work with those around us. And of course health education helps us to understand how we can stay fit and healthy.
	For most people, this process ends when they are in their mid-to-late teens. For others, however, it is the beginning of a lifetime of learning. After they finish school, many (43) to further education where they will learn more useful skills such as computer literacy or basic business management. (44) will enroll on a program of higher education at a university where, with hard work, they will have the opportunity to graduate after three or four years with a well-earned degree. After that, they may work for a while before opting to study for a higher degree - an MA, for example, or a PhD. Alternatively, they may choose to attend an evening class after work or, if they have a sympathetic employer, obtain day release so that they can study during the week. And if they live a long way from a college or university, they might follow a correspondence course using mail and the Internet. In fact, it is largely due to the proliferation of computers that many people have started to study again and can proudly class themselves as mature students.
	We live in a fascinating and constantly changing world, and we must continually learn and (45) new knowledge if we are to adapt and keep up with changing events. Our schooldays are just the beginning of this process, and we should make the best of every opportunity to develop ourselves, whether we are eighteen or eighty. You are, indeed, never too old to learn.
