85. A Letter of Reply to a Friend 給朋友的一封回信
Dear Xiao Wang,
Upon receiving your letter, I know you are planning to enter our university, but still do not knowing which major to choose. In my opinion, I suggest you apply for the major of English. Firstly, English is now considered a fundamental communication tool, someone who is good at English would be more likely to find a job. Additionally, having a good grasp of English will make it easier for you to go abroad further studies.
To make sure you will be admitted by the English Department, you have to bear the following things in mind. First, you should have a strong interest in it, otherwise, you will find it dull to learn English every day. Next, a superior listening and speaking ability is a necessity of being accepted.
As for the preparation of the Entrance Examination, you must spend plenty of time practicing your listening, speaking, writing and reading ability in English, among which, I think particular attention should be paid to polishing your oral English.
I look forward to hearing good news from you.
Yours ever
Ma Ying
親愛(ài)的小王:
收到你的來(lái)信,得知你準(zhǔn)備報(bào)考我們學(xué)校,但是還在猶豫應(yīng)該報(bào)考哪個(gè)專(zhuān)業(yè)。在我看來(lái),你應(yīng)該報(bào)考英語(yǔ)專(zhuān)業(yè)。首先,英語(yǔ)現(xiàn)在被普遍認(rèn)為是一個(gè)基本的交際工具,擁有良好的英語(yǔ)水平的人更容易找到工作。同時(shí),擁有良好的英語(yǔ)水平還可以幫助你完成未來(lái)在國(guó)外的學(xué)業(yè)。
要確保能夠被錄取,你應(yīng)該記住以下事項(xiàng)。你應(yīng)該對(duì)它有濃厚的興趣,否則,你會(huì)覺(jué)得整日跟英語(yǔ)打交道,實(shí)在是枯燥無(wú)味。其次,良好的聽(tīng)說(shuō)能力是你能夠被錄取的保障。
至于如何備考,你應(yīng)該花大量時(shí)間提高英語(yǔ)的聽(tīng)說(shuō)讀寫(xiě)能力,其中,應(yīng)該格外注意提高口語(yǔ)水平。
期待著你的好消息。
你永遠(yuǎn)的
馬英
