Sample Answer

-------------------

Dear Peter,

 

I am very glad to receive your letter, I know that you are soon entering the university. Here, I would like to give some advice to help you choose your source or major.

 

I do know that you have been keen about history since childhood. However, as to what you should choose to specialize in, I would advise you to take up computer science. There are several reasons to support my viewpoint.

 

Firstly, a university is a place where you are trained for your future career. In modern society, which is full of challenges and opportunities, one can hardly survive without a good knowledge of advanced science and technology. Secondly, in is a fact that those who major in computer science are more likely to obtain a better paying job than history majors. Thirdly, with the amazing development of computer science, the computer plays an increasingly significant role in our daily lives. Computer literacy is a must for every modern man. I am sure that you can enjoy and choose from more job prospects in the future if you choose computer science.

 

I hope the above can be of some help to you in making your decision. I wish you will make a wise and happy choice. If you still have something that you wish to clarify, please do not hesitate to write me.

 

Best wishes,

Janet Kim
