建议信
建议信是对收信人就某一问题提出建议和忠告。它有可能是写给某个组织或机构,就改进其服务质量提出建议或忠告;也可能是写给个人,就其人生中的某个重大决定提出自己的看法、建议和观点。考生需要注意:建议信和投诉信在某些情况下既有相同,又有不同,在改进质量的建议和忠告方面应该有很多的共通点,但如果是关于个人的重大决定就不应该用很生硬的语言了。

范文
Dear John,
You asked for advice concerning whether you should study history or computer science at university. I will try making some suggestions.
You must keep in mind that university is preparation for your career. You should consider studying a subject which will best equip you to earn a living. Computer science offers more job opportunities than history. We are now in a hightech age. For the foreseeable future, it would be necessary for everyone to be equipped with computer skills merely to earn a living.
Of course, you don’t have to devote all your time at university to studying computers and nothing else. I would recommend that you continue reading history in your spare time. That way, you will find that your leisure hours are enriched while you prepare yourself for a worthwhile career in computer science. Whatever you decide to do, good luck with your studies!
Yours sincerely
Li Ming
亲爱的约翰:
你曾经向我征求你进入大学应该学历史专业还是计算机专业的意见。我将试着给你提出一些建议。
你应当记住大学是为你的职业生涯做准备。你应该考虑学习一门最有助于你今后谋生的专业。计算机能够为你提供比历史专业更多的工作机会。我们现在处于高科技时代,展望未来,不仅仅为了谋生,掌握计算机技能对每个人来说都是必要的。
当然,你没有必要将大学所有的时间都投入到计算机的学习中。我建议你可以在空闲时间继续阅读历史书籍。那样,你会发现在为计算机领域的职业生涯做准备的同时,你的业余生活也得到了极大的丰富。无论你最终如何决定,都祝你学业有成。
