You seem to have done very well at school. Can you tell me something about your school work? 我在这里读过你的信。你似乎在学校表现得很好。你能跟我讲讲你学校的工作吗？ As you can see, my strongest subjects were art subjects. My best subject was history and my second best was geography. However, my favorite subject was math and the results I got in the math paper were quite reasonable. 正如你所看到的，我最擅长的科目是艺术。我最好的科目是历史，其次是地理。然而，我最喜欢的科目是数学，我的数学论文相当不错。 That's true. Now can you tell me why you think these subjects will help you in this job? 这是真的。现在你能告诉我为什么你认为这些科目会对你的工作有帮助呢? Well,ma'am, I understand that you manufacture computers, prepare software and advise clients on how to use them. Is that right? 嗯，女士，我知道你们生产电脑，准备软件，并向客户建议如何使用。是这样吗？ That's right. 是的。 And I've been told that working with computers needs the logical mind rather than great skills in mathematics. That's especially true, I believe, when it comes to writing programs. So I think my results show that I have some ability in logic and in mathematics as well. 有人说，与计算机打交道需要的是逻辑思维，而不是高超的数学技能。我相信，当涉及到编写程序时，这一点尤其正确。所以我认为我的科目成绩表明我在逻辑和数学方面也有一些能力。 So you would like to write material for computers, would you? 所以你想为电脑编写程序，是吗？ Yes,ma'am, that's what interests me most about computers: writing programs. But I think the computer industry itself is still expanding enormously. I am sure that career prospects in the industry will be very good no matter what sort of job I went into. 是的，女士，这就是我对计算机最感兴趣的地方：编写程序。但是我认为计算机产业本身仍在极大的扩张。我相信，无论我从事什么样的工作，这个行业的职业前景都会很好。 I see.
