Lifelong learning is now becoming a must for everyone in the modern world. Many people,
however, find it overwhelming, as being lifelong learners means they will have to keep studying for
their entire life. The following are several strategies to promote lifelong learning.
First, start with a clear purpose. Study something that you will likely have many uses in the future.
Design learning goals that should serve you in your career path, as well as in your personal interests.
You will need to think of the learning experience as continuous investment rather than a one-off
endeavor.
Second, choose something that is really enjoyable for you. You will need to have fun all through
the pursuit of knowledge and skills, which will be an endless journey. The ‘fun' part will always keep
you motivated, even during the hard times.
Third, lifelong learning is not just about keeping on studying; you will need to think through what
you have learned, and find out how to apply it in your work and personal life. Don't read too much and
use your brain too little. Think more often; meditate on the ideas that you feel might make your work
and/or life better.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Today, text-messaging has probably become young people’s most common form of communication.
Someleachers think that because of this, young people are not writing correctly at school. They fear that
once students get used to it, they will find it hard to switch back to using correct grammar and spelling.
How did things begin this way?
It all began with e-mail, online chat rooms, and games. Then step by step young people made
sentences, phrases and words shorter. As text-messaging continued to become popular, people invented
more and more words. Today, it is like a real language with its own grammar and vocabulary. The
growth of text-messaging has raised an important question: As students become fluent in text
messaging, do their writing skills suffer?
People have different ideas about the effects of text-messaging on students’ writing skills. Some say
that students are losing the ability to write long, correct sentences. Others say that text-messaging is
having a good effect on the language students use in then schoolwork. It shows that they are creative
and good at expressing themselves. And if students can keep the two systems separate - one for text
messaging and one for school - this will help students appreciate reading and writing more.
Some people suggest that one way to reduce the bad effects of text-messaging is to find ways to use
technology as a positive learning tool. For example, students can be allowed to type their assignments in
a cell phone message and send them to their teachers, but they must type correctly. In this way, students
are using the technology that they are familiar with to communicate in a form of language suitable for
schoolwork. It shows students that text-messaging is fine for social communication, but correct
grammar and spelling are necessary for communication in school.
