　　A Letter of Reply

　　Dear Li Ming，

　　I’m very glad to hear from you.Concerning my plan after graduation，I will probably continue my study as a postgraduate.

　　I have the following reasons.First of all，a higher degree and beaer educational background will give me an edge on the fierce competition of job-hunting because the fact that millions of college students enter the job market annually makes it difficult for US to find the job we want.Besides，as far as I am concemed，knowledge is，undoubtedly,an invaluable treasure of 　　human being，and we should make full use of our youth to learn as much knowledge as possible.of course.staying in the Ivory Tower doesn’t suggest that l will be cut off from society;instead.I will get involved in social and practical activities in my spare time.

　　Taking all aspects into account.I choose to further my study and get a master’s degree.

　　Many thanks for your concern.Best wishes!

　　Your sincerely,

　　Wang Lang
