Dear Uncle,
How are you? Im very sorry for delayed response to your letter concerning about my college life before graduation because I has been busy preparing my thesis defense those days.
Just as you know, with graduation approaching, our college life becomes tense and interesting. Most of us concentrate on preparing for thesis defense, which is the required threshold to be crossed for all the graduates. Fortunately, I have defended my thesis successfully with a satisfactory score. Whats more, another piece of good news is that I have found an ideal job offered by IBM, where I have worked three months as an intern. Therefore, I can enjoy the last period of university life happily without any burden in thoughts.
What about your health recently? I will visit you as early as possible after my graduation. May you be blessed with good health forever!
Yours,
Li Ming

Dear Zhang Zhi,
Im delighted to receive your letter asking me for advice on applying for admission to our university.
When it comes to which major you should choose, I suggest that you apply for English. To begin with, English, as the most popular language in the world, is widely used in most important fields, such as teaching, translation, and foreign trade. Whats more, you impressed me so deeply as a good learner in English that I believe youll make great achievements in English. In addition, it goes without saying that English majors are more likely to find good jobs in the tighter and tighter job market.
As far as the preparation work is concerned, you should first of all review all the required vocabulary. In addition, youd better spend as much time as possible on reading classics and writing in English. Only through these measures can you be enrolled by our university.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

【范文】
The series of charts offer us basic information about employment of university graduates in 2005. The first chart indicates that the employment rate rises by 24.4 percent in 2005 compared to 2003. The second portrays that in different types of universities, the employment rate of “211 Universities” is the highest to 84.8 percent. The last describes that based on gender, the employment rate of the male is higher than that of the female by 5.9 percent.
Such information intends to remind us of treating graduate employment rationally. Today, employment of university students is not only family priority among priorities but also a major issue involved in establishment of harmonious society. With the massive expansion of university enrollment and economic slowdown in recent years, employment situation is increasingly severe. However, considering large population base and stable growth rate yearly, we should be inspired by acquired achievements. Subjectively speaking, present employment problems are primarily caused by misfit of high desires of graduates and social requirements in reality. Therefore, besides furthering economic development, the solution to employment problems of university students mostly depends on changes of their employment attitude or value.
Employment is a cornerstone of social stability, closely related to peoples livelihood. Government should enact and perfect policies to encourage students to take up occupation in grassroots units. Graduates should also abandon imaginary “ivory tower” thoughts to meet social needs.
