范文：
　　Dear Jack,
　　You have asked me for my advice concerning whether you should study history or computer science at university and now I am trying to give you some useful suggestions.
　　亲爱的Jack：
　　你向我征询关于对你在大学里应该学历史还是电脑科学的意见，在此，我想给你一些有用的建议。
　　You must keep in mind that, above all, your university training is a preparationfor your future career. Therefore, your first consideration should be to study a subject which will best equip you to earn a living. There is no doubt that the field of computer offers far wider job opportunitiesthan history.
　　你首先应该牢记的一点是：你大学阶段的训练是为你将来的职业生涯做准备的。因此，你的首要考虑应该是要学一门科目，就要保证它能够为你将来谋生奠定最扎实的基础。毫无疑问，电脑专业要比历史专业更具就业潜能。
　　Besides, we are now in the age of a Hi-tech revolution. In the foreseeable future, not only will it be necessary for everyone to be computer-literate, it will also be necessary for him to be equipped with computer skills merely to earn a living! History, I’m afraid, however fascinatingit may be, offers few career prospects.
　　再者，我们现在处于高科技革命时代。在可以预见的将来，不但人人都需懂电脑，而且仅仅为了谋生也必须具备电脑技能。而对于历史而言，不管它有多么迷人，它所带来的就业机会却总是有限的。
　　Of course, you don’t have to devote all your time at university to studying computers and nothing else. On the contrary, I would recommend that you keep up your reading of history in your spare time. In that way, you will find that your leisure hours are enriched while you prepare yourself for a worthwhilecareer in computers.
　　当然，你没有必要将在大学里的所有时间都用在学电脑上，而对其它的课程都毫不理会。相反，我倒是建议你业余时间里读读历史，那样一来，你会发现在你为将来充满意义的电脑领域的职业生涯做准备的同时，你的业余时光也变得丰富多彩了。
　　Hope you find these suggestions useful in helping you make your decision.
　　希望你会感到这些建议对于你做决定有所裨益。
　　Yours sincerely,
　　Kenny Gao
　　你真诚的
