The findings indicate that there are two main reasons for adults going back to study. One is for personal satisfaction. About 40% people report that they decide to study mainly because of the strong interest in subject (the most popular reason);20% take to study simply because of the enjoyment of learning, though an insignificantly small number, 9% of the total said they decide to study so as to meet people. Another reason is for professional development. About 38% continue to study to gain qualifications, around 20% to acquire skills and knowledge helpful for current job, or to improve prospects of promotion, and another 12% to prepare for job changes. The findings implied that adult learners can make more conscious choices as far as learning is concerned. They have the initiatives, and also very practical in their choices.,Write an essay based on the graph below. The suggested title is: Car Accidents Declining in Chongqing City. Remember that your composition must be written according to the following outline: Rise and fall of the rate of car accidents as indicated by the graph; 2. Possible reason(s) for the decline of car accidents in the city; 3. Your predictions of what will happen.,Practice - 2,According to the graph, we can see that the number of car accidents in Chongqing city fluctuated considerably during the year 2000. The first two months of 2000 showed an increasing trend, moving,from 22 accidents in January to 32 in March. Accidents decreased steadily over the following 3 months to only 26 incidents in June. The months of July and August saw a second sudden increase, numbering 33 and 39 accidents respectively. After August the situation steadily improved, with accident numbers declining to a minimum of 16 in December.,These fluctuations can be explained by weather and road conditions. The increase in accidents evidenced in March can be attributed to the excessive rain that came in early spring, making the roads muddy and slippery. The peak in accidents in August is related to the heat and humidity of the summer months, making drivers drowsy and impatient. Improved weather conditions and the completion of two new roads obviously improved traffic and driving conditions in the autumn and winter months, leading to the strong decline of accidents during that period.,Based on the information presented in this graph, I would expect the following year to have similar fluctuations in its numbers of accidents, in variation with the weather. However, I would also expect the overall number of accidents to be lower due to the existence of two new roads, therefore improving the traffic conditions all year round.,Practice-3,Cross-Campus Selective Courses,As is shown in the table, the number of students choosing cross-campus selective courses has experienced a sharp rise,during the four-year period from 2002 to 2005.
