Topic 32 A Letter to a Friend Asking for Some Suggestions
Dear Johnson,I’m writing to tell you the good news that I have received a postgraduate recommendation.
However, recently I have been struggling for making the decision,whether to accept the recommendation or to choose job-hunting.
As you know, graduation from university is deemed as a turning point in one’s life.
Therefore, I need your suggestions to help me make this critical decision.
My hesitation lies in the following aspects.
On one hand, postgraduate recommendation is an opportunity for me to pursue further studies,
and I can equip myself with sounder theoretical knowledge.
Nevertheless, I’m afraid that continuous pursuit of theoretical knowledge will deprive me of the chances to gain practical experience.
On the other hand, to find a full-time job may enable me to accumulate more life and work experience,
which is exactly what I lack.
But by doing so, the stop of further study may pose a threat to my future career development.
I’m really in a dilemma now.
Please take my consideration into account and analyze the merits and defects of these two choices.
I believe your analysis will be more objective and I look forward to your valuable suggestions.
Yours friendly,Tom
