HOW TO CONTINUE LEARNING AFTER LEAVING SCHOOL
Good morning everyone and thank you very much for coming to my
presentation. I'm here today to talk about my three essential steps to keep
learning after leaving school.
The first step is to (1) . You may have several hobbies, but ask yourself
what you are most interested in. It is your genuine interest that will keep
you on track until you reach the final destination.
Secondly, (2) . You need to make certain that you will have enough time for
learning. Take into account the time needed for your job, for housework,
and for rest. Also, make sure that you will have adequate funding
throughout the learning.

three main steps to keeping you learning through life. Thank you for
