给同学的一封回信

　　Dear Huang, June 19, 2004

　　You have asked me for my advice concerning whether you should find a decent job or pursue graduate study after graduation, and I will try to make some useful suggestions.

　　It is really a dilemma for all of us when faced with such alternatives. True, attending graduate schools has become a trend in recent years. Enrollment in graduate schools exploded in recent years. People have a growing respect for graduate study. I would recommend that you further your study. I am fully convinced that you have every reason to make this decision in such an era where knowledge is expanding at an incredible speed and the demands for us to enrich both our knowledge and survival skills in this highly competitive society are becoming increasingly urgent. There is no doubt that you could sharpen your competitive edge by making this sensible choice. Keep on learning and you will never regret.

　　With best wishes!

　　Sincerely yours

　　Frank
