Part I　Writing

【范文评注】

It's true that learning is a daily experience and a lifetime mission, which plays a vital role in our life.

On the one hand, lifelong learning enables us to master different kinds of knowledge and skills we need at different life stages.At school, we need to learn how to read and write so as to prepare ourselves for future careers.When we enter the workplace, we are supposed to learn to adapt ourselves to the new environment and put what we have learned into practice.After retirement, we have to learn something new to enrich our retirement life.

On the other hand, as we are all living in the era of information explosion, where knowledge and technology upgrade day by day, no one can follow the pace of society if he or she refuses to keep learning.We must update our knowledge and skills constantly in order to meet the increasingly fierce competition that we may encounter.

In a word, there is no denying that lifelong learning is inevitable and essential.Only through lifelong learning can we avoid getting left behind.

【译文】

的确，学习是每日必行之事，是一生的使命，它在我们的生活中起着至关重要的作用。

一方面，终身学习能够让我们掌握不同的人生阶段所需要的不同的知识和技能。在上学时，我们需要学习如何读、写，以便为将来的职业生涯做好准备。当我们进入职场后，我们应该学会使自己适应新的环境并把所学知识付诸实践。退休之后，我们需要学习一些新东西以丰富退休后的生活。

另一方面，由于我们都生活在信息大爆炸的时代，知识和技术日益更新，如果拒绝坚持学习，没有人可以跟上社会发展的步伐。为了应对可能面临的日益激烈的竞争，我们必须不断更新知识和技能。

总之，终身学习无疑是不可避免的，也是至关重要的。只有通过终身学习，我们才能避免落后于人。

【句法点评】

1.It's true that learning is a daily experience and a lifetime mission, which plays a vital role in our life.

本句采用了It's true that…的固定句式，意为“的确……，诚然……”，表示对某种观点持肯定态度，其中that引导主语从句，it是形式主语；which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词learning。

2.In a word, there is no denying that lifelong learning is inevitable and essential.

本句使用了there is no denying that…的固定句式，意为“毋庸置疑……，无疑……”，用来表达强烈的肯定语气。

3.Only through lifelong learning can we avoid getting left behind.

本句采用了部分倒装句式，当only所修饰的状语置于句首时，句子的谓语部分必须采用部分倒装句式，即be动词、情态动词或助动词需提至主语前面，比如此处的can we。这种句式也是表达强烈语气的一种常见方式。
