推荐信范例.doc

Dear Sir/Madam: I am writing this letter of recommendation for Mr.Caleb,my former student. I have known Mr. Caleb for more than 6 years since his freshman year at University of Minnesota. At that time, he took the course- Mathematical Analysis, which I taught mainly for junior students majoring in Mathematics. To my surprise, I found he was among the few students in his class who could keep up with the pace of my lectures. Moreover, he often posed thought-provoking questions during the course. Thus it was natural that I liked discussing with this young man and became familiar with him. The more I knew him, the more I found he was talented at mathematics. As you can see, he got excellent scores on the course. In fact, he ranked No. 1 on this 270 hours course in the talented student class which has 34 intelligent others. With his outstanding talent and solid mathematical background, he also did quite well in most other courses during his undergraduate study. By the way, you may wonder why his undergraduate scores look not so good compared to other Chinese applicants. It is easy to explain, because he belonged to the talented student class, which were required to endure harder test papers and stricter grading than most other college students did at least at University of Minnesota. He even served as Prof. Linda s Research Assistant for one year. No one could deny his commitment to his job. As a matter of fact, Prof. Linda s electronic lab happened to be neighboring my office and I could always see him working in the lab, either repairing the instruments or helping Prof. Linda collect lab reports. Maybe one more example will demonstrate his commitment more clearly. Once he suggested compiling a FORTRAN program to solve a complicated circuit problem in his class. In order to do that, he had to do a lot of computer work. However, because there were few computers available in our computer lab, he had to wake up at 5 a.m. in winter (please note: Twin city is a downtown near the north border of China, so it is pretty cold in winter and the heating system is not working very well.) to ensure the 1st position of the long waiting line for his classmates and himself! At last he and his classmates finished the program successfully with his great efforts. As to his personality, I would like to say Mr. Caleb is a warm-hearted, honest and upright student. He was always ready to help others. During my lectures, many students got confused at some points and I could always see Mr. Caleb help them explain during breaks. In the meanwhile, I must admit that Mr. Caleb was a bit impatient sometimes. Finally, I would like to conclude my recommendation as follows: frankly, Mr. Caleb is not a genius, but I promise his great intelligence, commitment to work and his kind nature will impress you deeply. Thus I recommend him without reservation for his admission and financial aid to your program. Please feel free to contact me if needed. Sincerely Yours, XXX推荐信的结构2010-07-19 15:45:33来源：留学e网字号：大 | 中 | 小推荐信体现出申请人的性格特点、科研能、学术水平、组织能力和领导能力等。和PS一样，推荐信也是文章，只不过是一封按信的格式写成的文章，它用来论证你的能力。一般而言，推荐信由推荐人亲自书写，然后签字密封，并寄到美国学校的。由于客观情况的影响，现在的留学申请中，很多推荐信都是申请者自己写的，然后由推荐人签字，那么如何来写推荐信呢?开头部分：首先应该直观的叙述推荐人和被推荐人的关系，熟悉情况，共事时间等。要注意，尽最大努力来证实你们之间的关系。然后介绍被推荐人在你的项目中或公司中的职位，在整个接触期间所做的工作，着重介绍他的表现情况以及大家都他的印象和平价。中间部分：应该着重阐述推荐人推荐被推荐人的理由。应该有具体事例来支撑推荐人的论点，要注意所举的例子，最好是与申请领域息息相关的。比如被推荐人在科研项目或课堂上的具体表现情况，有哪些事例打动了推荐人等。结尾部分：总结性的写出对被推荐人的综合素质平价，除了学术工作能力之外的整体鉴定，注意在文章中要含蓄的发表一下对申请者是否胜任的意见。推荐信写作注意事项2010-07-19 15:45:35来源：留学e网字号：大 | 中 | 小推荐信是以第三人称对申请人的一个客观评价，目前，绝大部分推荐信都是由申请人自己撰写，然后找推荐人看过之后签字。推荐信最重要的一点就是要真实可信，读者能从推荐信中得到他所需要的信息。要想撰写优秀的推荐信，应该注意以下事项。一、客观真实。不可否认，无论是国内还是国外，推荐信多少都有过誉之处，但决不能胡吹一通，毕竟申请人是去进一步深造学习的，倘若已经“非常完美”又何必负笈海外呢!二、真实事例。通过真实事例表现出来的申请人的品质和能力才最为可信，更有说服力。无论是推荐信还是现实生活中，我们在评估一个人的时候，要切忌空洞，满篇华丽的言辞固然漂亮，但没有认可真实可靠的事例支撑的话，依然是没有参考价值的。三、注意书写的角度和口吻。由于推荐信是通过第三人对申请人的评价，所以申请人在撰写的时候要注意表达方式和角度。转换思维方式，尽量以教授或其他推荐人的口吻和角度来书写。四、要避免语法、
