Dear Peter,

I am writing to ask you for some information and advice about your country’s colleges and universities
tuition fees.

I am going to finish secondary school in May and I have been thinking a lot about taking a gap year or
pursuing further education immediately. Here are the points that worry me most.

First, I want to consult you about the advantages and disadvantages of taking a gap year. I know that a lot
of graduating students in your country prefer taking a gap year before deciding to pursue further
education. Would a gap year look good on my college application?

If I pursue further education immediately, which major should I choose? There are excellent universities
in your country, and a bachelor’s degree will definitely help me find a good job easily. However, the
tuition fees will be very high, and I am not sure a scholarship will cover all the costs. Does the training
degree provide enough knowledge for the students?

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,

Phuc
