　　本題屬于提綱式文字命題。提綱第1點要 求描述圖表中反應的變化，提綱第2點要求分析該變化產生的原因，提綱第3點要 求談談“我”的看法，由此可判斷本文應為現象 解釋型作文。

　　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 popularity.

　　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.
