Necessity of lifelong learning
Dear Mr. Li, dear my schoolmates, good morning!
Entrusted by the first group of schoolmates, the topic of my speech is Necessity for lifelong learning.
About lifelong learning, there is the famous proverb in Chinese: never too old to learn. Confucius, the famous educator in ancient China, also said: if I learn the Classical literature "Yi" from the age of 50, I would never make so many mistakes.
To sum up, Necessity of lifelong learning is mainly based on the following reasons:
First of all, the knowledge of modern society changes so quickly, if not to learn new knowledge in time you will soon fall behind the times. For example, using the mobile Internet technology, we can using a mobile phone to book a taxi, pay various fees, buy all kinds of goods etc. if a person may not
grasp the knowledge, especially senior people ,they will not use the convenience brought by Internet.
Secondly, diligent in thinking can effectively prevent the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease. This conclusion has been verified in medicine.
Finally, a person who maintains the habit of lifelong learning, can have a stronger advantage in occupation choice. This is not only good for the person, but also for the country and the society.
Some people complain that, they have too much work and have no time to read a book usually. But In fact lifelong learning is not only reading or having a class, we can browse the web, read e-books, receiving distance courses through the Internet conveniently. We can learn not only knowledge, but also skills.
Age cannot be a barrier to our lifelong learning. Chu Shijian, once the king of China's tobacco industry, had suffered a great setback before retirement. He was even put into prison. But at the age of 75, he began to study orange
planting technology seriously, and finally have a huge success in this area ten years late. Harland Sandoz of America began learning the fast-food lethal at his age of 83. When he was 88 years old, his fast food chain often Kentucky had distributed each corner of the world.
Therefore, lifelong learning is never too late to start, let's start our plan today.
Thank you.
译文：终身学习的必要性
尊敬的李老师，各位同学，上午好！
受第一组同学委托，我演讲的题目是终身学习的必要性。
关于终身学习的问题，中国古代就有谚语曰：活到老学到老。中国古代著名教育家孔夫子说：加我数年，五十以学《易》，可以无大过矣。
概括来说，终身保持学习习惯主要基于以下原因：
首先，现代社会知识更新太快，不及时学习新知识便会很快落
后于时代。例如，利用现在非常普及的移动互联网技术，我们可以用手机预约出租车业务，支付各种费用，购买各种商品等，很多中年人、老年人不掌握这方面知识，便不能利用高科技带来的生活便利。
其次，勤于动脑，能够有效预防老年痴呆症的发生。这个结论已经在医学方面得到验证。
最后，一个人保持终身学习的习惯，随时掌握新知识和新技能，可以使自己在职业选择上有更强的优势。这不仅对本人有利，还有利于国家和民族。
有人抱怨说，平时工作和生活太忙，没有时间去阅读。实际上终身学习的方式不仅仅是阅读和上课，在科技高度发达的今天，学习的方式已经非常方便了，我们还可以通过互联网浏览网页、阅读电子书、接收远程课程。不仅学习理论知识，还可以学习各种技能。
年龄也不能成为我们终身学习的障碍。中国曾经的烟草大王褚时健，退休后前在烟草事业上遭遇了极大的挫折，自己甚至被关进监狱。但是他在75岁时认真学习橙子种植技术，通过十年时间重新走向成功，带领当地农民致富，成了中国的橙王。美国的哈伦德·山德士83岁时才开始学习快餐业的知识，到88岁时经营的肯德基连锁快餐店已经遍布世界每一个角落。
