(2022上·江苏苏州·九年级统考期末)Conner Wight is in his final year at university, but he still has many classes to attend. He is studying Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson—and how to wash clothes.
The 21-year-old is preparing for his post-college life. He realized it enough to know how to understand literature. So he signed up for(报名)a class on “adulting”. He has been learning many basic life skills.
There are now thousands of “adults in training”. Wright is only one of them. Not only college students but many others are discovering they need help. Some middle schools have scheduled(预定)adulting classes.
But why don’t parents teach their children these life skills? We interviewed many students. Their parents, they say, care a lot about test scores. Almost everything else is considered unimportant. As a result, colleges are filled with students with perfect test scores. Many of them, however, don’t know how to cook.

But by their second year there, they had learned to live on their own. The two noticed that many of their classmates had been experiencing similar difficulties. They decided to set up an adulting course. When it was first offered in 2019, its 30 spots(名额)quickly filled up. 70 students had to be refused. Last year, there were more courses, but Lau and Zhou still had to turn down 100 students.

But after we become an adult, that’s no longer available to us. When difficulties appear, we must depend on ourselves to “hunt for” a solution.
