【思路点拨】
本题属于提纲式文字命题。提纲第1点要 求描述图表中反应的变化，提纲第2点要求分析该变化产生的原因，提纲第3点要 求谈谈“我”的看法，由此可判断本文应为现象 解释型作文。
根据所给提纲，本文应包含如下内容：根据图表中的数据描述1992—2007年继续教育参加人数增加的现象;分析导致参加继续教育的人数增加的原因;阐述“我”对继续教育的看法。
A Boom in Continuing Education
From the graph, we can learn the number of continuing education participants has kept increasing from 1992 to 2007 in X city. In 1992 there were only 20 thousand people taking part in the continuing education, but in 1995 the number grew to 60 thousand, and in 2000 140, and by 2007, the number has reached 210 thousand. It can be seen easily that continuing education is gaining more and more popularit
The following reasons are responsible for this boom in continuing education. Firstly, during the work many people begin to realize what they have learned in schools is far from enough. So they turn to continuing education to gain more knowledge and skills. Moreover, as the science and technology in China are developing very fast, adults after graduation have to refresh themselves. In addition, in modern society, those without bachelor’s degrees or above are less competitive.
As far as I am concerned, the boom in continuing education is a necessity. It provides those on-the-job people with chances to get advanced degrees and gain more knowledge. As our society develops, more and more people will receive continuing education in the future.
