Dear Editor，
I am a student from a common agriculture university．As you know，few people think
1 of an agriculture university，especially one which is not
2 ．It is ten times
3 difficult for a graduate from our university to
4 a satisfactory job than for those who
5 more respected subjects at a famous university．Most graduates from our university can
6 to be treated coldly．
Last year，a 7 from our university attended a talent fair（人才市场） 8 in Guangzhou．He joined a queue to 9 in his recommendation（推荐） form for an interview （面试）．When his 10 came，the interviewer asked him，“Which university did you graduate from？” When the graduate told him the 11 of our university，the interviewer said with
a sneer．“What？I've never heard of that university．Go！Next！”He waved his hand 12 even taking a look at the recommendation form and took no notice of the graduate's request for
a chance to show his skills and 13 ．
Another interviewer told a graduate，“Sorry，if you had graduated from Beijing Agriculture University，we would take you on．”
How 14 the graduate was！I wonder what these employers 15 want：the name of a famous university 16 knowledge and technology？
It is true that 17 students from common universities don't have the same abilities
as those students from key ones on the whole ，but that doesn't 18 that all of us are less able students．I'm 19 that we are going to try to do as well as those from key universities．We will 20 the employers with our skills．So give us a chance．
