Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am one of your customer. I ordered a pair of shoes for my mum as a gift on Women's Day. To my disappoint, there are the followed problems.
To begin with, it didn't arrive on schedule, which misses Women's Day. Besides, not only it the wrong size but it is also of wrong colour. That bothers me most is the quality of the shoes. They are not made of genuine leather, and give off bad smell. I'm so annoyed to have received such poor service that I hope you give a due attention to the matter. I'd like you to either return my money and deliver a new pair to me.
It would be high appreciated if I could handle the matter at your earliest convenience.
Yours,
Li Hua

How to Choose a College Major
When it’s time to starting making solid decisions about enrolling in college, many people have questions about how to choose a college major.1., but also what you’ll need to be happy in the future. While it would be nice to have an interest in one of the highest paying college majors, it’s also important to choose a college major that will ultimately lead to a career you want in a place you want to live.
2.
The best advice we’ve found for how to choose a college major is just to ask questions. Talk to your high school guidance counselor, or if you’re already in college, consult your academic advisor or a career center counselor. Ask friends and family members about how they chose a college major or career. Finally, engage in some serious self-reflection and ask yourself questions about your past, present, and future.
Some factors to consider when selecting a college major include:
What did you learn about what you like and dislike from your past work experience?
What are your interests?
Which subjects did you enjoy studying the most in high school?
What type of skills do you have?
Do you have any hobbies that you would like to pursue as a career?
Think About Careers
3. For example, if you held part time positions in retail while in high school and you absolutely hated the work, you can immediately scratch retail management off your list. However, if you enjoyed the part of the job that involved setting up product displays, you might seriously want to consider a major in visual merchandising (视觉营销). 4.
Don’t Panic
5. It is not uncommon for college students to change majors one or more times after they enroll in college. Do your research, keep an open mind, and be honest with yourself, and you can choose a college major that will steer you down the path to success.
A.Ask Questions
B.Engage in self-reflection
C.You have to not only look at your interests, abilities and goals
D.What you are supposed to do is to clarify your interests, abilities and goals.
E.The answers to these questions can help guide your selection of a college major.
F.Selecting a college major is an important decision, and it is not one that should be made lightly.
G.The college major that you select impacts the types of jobs you will be qualified for upon graduation.
