Topic 32 A Letter to a Friend Asking for SomeSuggestions

　　Dear Johnson,I’m writing to tell you the good newsthat I have received a postgraduaterecommendation.

　　However, recently I have been struggling for makingthe decision,whether to accept therecommendation or to choose job-hunting.

　　As you know, graduation from university is deemedas a turning point in one’s life.

　　Therefore, I need your suggestions to help me makethis critical decision.

　　My hesitation lies in the following aspects.

　　On one hand, postgraduate recommendation is an opportunity for me to pursue furtherstudies,

　　and I can equip myself with sounder theoretical knowledge.

　　Nevertheless, I’m afraid that continuous pursuit of theoretical knowledge will deprive me ofthe chances to gain practical experience.

　　On the other hand, to find a full-time job may enable me to accumulate more life and workexperience,

　　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 twochoices.

　　I believe your analysis will be more objective and I look forward to your valuablesuggestions.

　　Yours friendly,Tom
