Many people feel that the successful finding of a job is the end of their schooling. This idea is rarely true, however, as each field of work requires a thorough knowledge of it. This may go beyond that which could be learned in high school or university. Universities, with their complete curriculum, are intended to first teach us about everything. Later studies fill in the gap of knowledge by offering more specialized courses. Universities, however, are meant to teach the theories of any particular field, not the practical knowledge needed to do our jobs. The rise of vocational school has risen to fill this gap of practical knowledge. Vocational schools can aid us in this by teaching us to be especially good at one thing. If a person has enough health and energy, as well as determination, he may go to Night School or take a self-teaching program. With the successful completion of the program, a certificate of qualification will be given. Professionals, such as office workers and others, are in stiff competition for pay raises and higher positions. This certification will aid them in their advancement. The danger of additional schooling, however, is weak time management. The burden of work and additional schooling must be measured against the needs of the worker’s family. If these can be balanced, the use of a vocational school will be a bonus for his career.

聽看學
許多人認爲成功地找到一份工作就預示着學習階段的終結。這種說法是不正確的，因爲工作的每一個領域都要求掌握和它相關的一整套完備的知識。這很可能會超出高中或者大學裏所能學到的知識內容。擁有完整課程體系的大學，都會首先教我們全面的知識。之後的學習通過提供更爲專業的課程來填補之前的知識空檔。然而，大學被認爲是應該教授任何特定領域的理論知識，而不是教授工作所需的實踐知識。職業學校的出現填補了實踐知識的空白。它能夠在這方面通過使我們特別擅長於某一方面而給我們以幫助。如果一個人有足夠的健康和精力並充滿毅力，他可以去讀夜校或者參加自學項目。成功完成某一課程後，將被授予資格證書。職業人士，例如辦公室職員和其他工作人員，爲了加薪和升遷而處於激烈的競爭之中。這種證書將幫助他們得到晉升。但額外學習的弊端在於，它使得人們無法有效地管理時間。工作和額外學習的重擔必須與員工家庭的需求相權衡。如果這些可以得到平衡，選讀職業學校就會對未來事業的發展大有裨益。

Grammar 語法小結
部分倒裝

倒裝是一種語法手段，用以表示一定句子結構的需要和強調某一句子成分的需要。英語的最基本結構是主語、謂語結構，倒裝就是將這種比較固定的結構加以顛倒。倒裝有兩種：完全倒裝和部分倒裝。只把謂語的一部分（如助動詞、情態動詞等）放到主語前，或把句子的強調成分提前，叫做部分倒裝

Only once was John late to class.

約翰只遲到了一次。

Were she to leave right now, she would get there on Sunday.

它如果現在馬上走，能在星期天到達。

1．以否定詞開頭的句子要求部分倒裝

Not until yesterday did John change his mind.

直到昨天約翰才改變主意。

2．以否定副詞barely, hardly, little, seldom, scarcely…when, never, no sooner…than, rarely, no more, nor nearly, not only, only開頭且狀語前置的句子要求部分倒裝
