　　Directions：

　　You have a friend who is about to enter university, and he wants you to advise him on which subject to specialize in--history, in which he is very interested, or computer science, which offers better job prospects. Write a letter:

　　1) explaining what he could do,

　　2) why he could do this, and

　　3) wishing him luck with his studies.

　　You should write with no less than 100 words on Answer Sheet 2. Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use “Li Ming” instead. You do not need to write the address.

　　范文：

　　Dear John,

　　You asked for advice concerning whether you should study history or computer science at university. I will try making some suggestions.

　　University is preparation for your career. You should consider studying a subject which will best equip you to earn a living. Computer science offers more job opportunities than history. We are now in a high-tech age. For the foreseeable future, it would be necessary for everyone to be equipped with computer skills merely to earn a living!

　　Of course, you don't have to devote all your time at university to studying computers and nothing else. I would recommend that you continue reading of history in your spare time. That way, you will find that your leisure hours are enriched while you prepare yourself for a worthwhile career in computer science.

　　Whatever you decide to do, good luck with you studies!

　　Yours sincerely,

　　Li Ming
