It’s back-to-school time again, and among the ranks of new university students are working professionals.

Two new adult learners at Xi’ an Jiaotong-Liverpool University(XJTLU) in Suzhou say despite the challenges of returning to school after years away, they believe it’ll be worth it. Both plan to strengthen their professional skills with master’s degrees from XJTLU’s International Business School Suzhou.

While Hamed Azimidizaj has become an experienced engineer and manager over nearly 15years in the car industry, he wants to broaden his knowledge. Originally from Iran, he’s lived in China for five years. “Now I see that experience alone is not enough. You need to bring knowledge to the industry in order to make improvements, and I’m seeking to learn more so that I can make a change,” he says.

Qin Qian, Marketing Manager at the Taicang branch of a German environmental testing equipment company, is responsible for driving new business development strategies. She hopes to build a system to expand the company’s business with new markets in China.

“In today’s competitive business world, just keeping up with rapid technological advances is not enough,” she says. “How can my team make the company more competitive? How can we successfully break into new markets?

I’ve been thinking about these questions for two years, and eventually I came to believe the best way is to further my studies in this field.”

For students considering further study, Azimidizaj says Suzhou provides a comfortable environment, with its mix of modern facilities and ancient culture. Qian advises others thinking about going back to school to make careful decisions and then pursue goals wholeheartedly. “Sometimes, choice is more important than effort. Making good decisions matters because mistakes are expensive,” says Qian. “But once you’ve decided, you should go after it with everything you’ve got. Life is too short to wait.”

4. What do Azimidizaj and Qian plan to do at XJTLU?

A. Teach professional skills. B. Conduct engineering research.

C. Enhance their career capabilities. D. Expand their social connections.

5. Which word best describes Azimidizaj?

A. Farsighted. B. Hesitant. C. Generous. D. Conservative.

6 What is the purpose of Qian’s further study?

A. To improve her knowledge for international business.

B. To escape the competitive pressure in her current job.

C. To explore opportunities in the environmental industry.

D. To develop a systematic approach for market expansion.

7. What can we learn from Qian’s words?

A. Think twice before you act. B. Opportunity knocks but once.

C. The early bird catches the worm. D. Actions speak louder than words.

Indoor gardening offers all the same benefits as a garden in the ground outside. Namely, fresh food and a low environmental impact. But not everyone has the natural space for a garden, which is where indoor planting comes in for the win. While there are many systems and techniques you can apply inside the home, PICO stands out as a flexible option that you can place anywhere and still achieve growing success.

Most indoor plants need to be located near a window for light. Often this means taking up limited tabletop or bookcase space. PICO is different because, while setting it on a tabletop is an option, it can also be fixed to many other surfaces, such as a refrigerator or desk, wall, windows, mirrors, etc. There are also three color options to match nearly any decoration.
