Hello, everyone, welcome to our Chitchat. In last week's Chitchat, we asked our readers if they could re-select their major--the main subject of study in college, which one they would pick. Here are some of their ideas.

If I got do-over(重来), I will make a change

@Jim Zhang

If I got do-over I would choose _____ . I’m really fond of teaching kids. Honestly, I had no idea about what I wanted to do or what I really liked even after graduation. Three years later, I realized that it was a great loss of time to think too much about what I should do, because what I really need is doing it with all heart and keeping on. Unfortunately, I was too young to realize that at that time.

If I got do-over, I will ______.

@Agatha

I can get do-over, I would choose my original major. For me, majoring in mathematics was_____ . Proving mathematical theories in words was crazy. However, it is mathematics that makes me have strong logical thinking. The biggest pity about my major is that I didn't try as hard as I should. In a word, I don't regret choosing mathematics as my major but I regret not learning it better and further. Do-over is not in my list

@tina

____ , I don' t regret my choice. As an English teacher, sometimes it's hard to improve students' English level. But when I see great progress that students have made, I feel really content. Anyway, every field needs_______ For students, being good at English is not the only way to success. I' m really pleased with their progress, even not in English learning. Then why should I choose my major again?
