Never Too Late to Learn
301 từ7 câu hỏi
At the age of sixty-two, Mrs Hoa Tran enrolled in a night school course in psychology, and her classmates were forty years younger than she was. She had left school at fourteen because her family could not afford the fees, and for decades she worked in a small shop. When her husband retired, he told her to take up a hobby instead of worrying about the past. She remembered how much she had loved reading, so she borrowed a book on psychology from the library. To her surprise, the ideas were so fascinating that she could not put the book down. A librarian offered to help her find more books and advised her to join an adult education class. The first lessons were not easy, since she had to brush up her basic mathematics and learn to type. Some young students looked at her as if she were lost, but others asked her to share her experience. Gradually, she became part of a learning community in which people of different ages helped one another. Her teacher told the class to be patient with complex problems and not to fear mistakes. Mrs Hoa followed this advice, and she studied every evening despite her tiredness and the distractions of family life. Her determination reminded the teacher of famous thinkers who continued learning despite hardship. Three years later she passed her final exam with distinction, and she now volunteers as an adviser for people who wish to return to study. She says that learning helps her maintain a healthy mind and widen her view of the world. Researchers agree that lifelong learning can boost intelligence and make people more well-rounded, whatever their age. Mrs Hoa's story shows that it is never too late to begin, and that a single book can change a life.
