Dear Wang Li,

I am glad to give you some advice on the problem you are faced with. As you said in your last letter, you couldn’t make a decision about which to study in your college, computer science or history.

In my opinion, nowadays, with the development of science and technology, computer plays an increasing role in our work and daily lives. As it turns out, one who wants to find a good job must be an expert at computer first. Referring to history, I don’t think it is a subject that could contribute to your capacity of finding a satisfactory job. You could take it into account that you may regard history as one of your hobbies.

On the whole, I hope that you should pursue your study in computer science. Remember it is up to you. No matter what you would choose, after making the decision, you should make every effort to master it.

Please write to me if you need other help.

Best wishes

Li Ming
