11. an advice letter Dear Tom:
You have asked me for my advice concerning whether you should study history or computer science and I will try to make some
suggestions.
In my opinion, the university training is a preparation for your future career. There is no doubt that the field of computer science offers far wider job chances than history. Besides, it will also be necessary to have computer skills to earn a living.
Of course, I would advise that you keep up your reading of history in your spare time.
Yours sincerely, Li Ming
