Dear Jean:
It is a great surprise that you sent me a letter telling me that you were considering about getting higher education! Now that you can hardly decide whether to go to formal universities or informal courses, let me give you some advice that may help.
The formal or the informal, there is much discussion nowadays on it (both). Most people incline to the former for the most important reason: it is formal. The word “formal” means famous professors, latest information, better facilities and more opportunities, few of which the informal colleges can provide with (去掉). However, there are some things that formal universities can not offer: a flexible timetable and a study plan just for you. The reason why Bill Gates left Harvard before graduation lies in the fact that he couldn’t gain what he himself wanted to learn.
On the other hand, some people hold the view that young people can be equally educated by taking informal courses in their spare time. The reasons are as follow. First and foremost, informal courses give people more chances to learn if they failed to attend a formal university. Furthermore, the timetable is so flexible that you don’t have to quit from your job. Last but not least, the open attitude of informal courses encourages more people to pick up books again when they are no more young (not young), as the saying goes “Live to learn, learn till death. “ Notwithstanding the advantages, there are still some advantages (disadvantages). For instance, many companies don’t hire a man who has just been in informal universities instead of a formal one. From liuxuepaper.com.
As far as I’m concerned, I tend to a formal university and I’ve just told you the reasons above. But there is one thing that I believe all my life: the fit one is the best. Please don’t just follow my advice, on the contrary you should think carefully and make you own decision. The future being in your own hand, just ask yourself: what you truly desire for.
Well, please send me a letter after you make up your mind. No matter what the decision is, I am proud of you! Good Luck!
Your sincerely,
Ann
