We Learn as We Grow

Learning goes hand in hand with growth. It is a lifelong process, not only limited to formal school education.
Little children learn many basic skills from their parents at home. They learn to speak, to behave and to understand the world around them. When they go to school, they acquire knowledge from textbooks and teachers. However, learning does not stop after graduation. Adults keep learning from real‑life experiences. Through trial and error, they learn to solve practical problems. By communicating with different people, they expand their horizons.
All in all, learning never stops throughout our life. Every stage of growth offers us new chances to learn.

我们在成长中学习
学习与成长相伴而行。学习是一个终身的过程,并不仅仅局限于学校正规教育。
小孩子在家向父母学习许多基本技能。他们学习说话、为人处事,认识周围的世界。上学之后,他们从课本和老师那里获取知识。然而,学习并不会随着毕业而结束。成年人继续从现实生活经历当中学习。通过反复试错,他们学会解决实际问题;通过和不同的人交流,他们开阔眼界。
总而言之,人的一生学习永不停止。成长的每一个阶段都给我们提供新的学习机会。
