推荐信

推荐信在西方国家是求职，求学的必备材料。

写推荐信的人必须对被推荐者有一定的了解。最好有较深的资历。如被推荐者的原单位领导，本专业的专家等，名声越大越好。

推荐信大体上可分为两种：专业推荐信（特意为被推荐人申请某一单位的某一职务而写的。写信人应了解聘方的要求、工作性质等有关情况以便有的方矢地推荐被荐人）。通常推荐信（即一封信可以用于不同的聘人单位，通常以“To Whom it May Concern”）为称呼。

推荐信要多写优点，充分肯定成绩，篇幅不宜过长，也不能三言两语。一般包括以下三个内容：

1．说明推荐人与被荐人的关系，熟识程度等。

Department of the SPECIAL CLASS GIFTED for YOUTHS

University of Science and Technology

Hefei, Anhui 230026, P.R. China

July 1, 1998

Dear Sir or x x x:

I take great pleasure in recommending Ren Ren, one of my favorite students, for admission into your distinguished graduate program.

Mr. Ren was admitted in 1986 at 14 years of age into the SPECIAL CLASS for the GIFTED YOUTHS, my university 's unique program that caters to the intellectual needs of unusually talented Chinese youngsters. It was a rare privilege he earned with his nearly impeccable完美的 academic performance through the years of his elementary and secondary school.

He impressed me almost as he entered into my university, a major cradle of China' s scientific and technological talents. At the time, members of the Gifted Class all had to spend half a month studying by themselves the principles of calculus and then take an exam so that we could evaluate their self-study capability. Mr. Ren scored the highest grade in that exam. He also exhibited a keenly whetted mind during class discussions. To my regret at the time, his English was not as good as his mathematics or physics. But I noticed he made a point of working especially hard in improving his English during his five undergraduate years with us. By now, he seems to be at least as proficient in English as most of his former classmates in the Gifted Class.

In my experience with Mr. Ren, I was impressed with not only his extraordinary intelligence but also his ambitions and persistence. I am sure that Mr. Ren will be an outstanding student in any doctoral program that he may care to enroll in. So I would like to support him firmly in his quest recommendation into account when

considering his application. I would greatly appreciate it you decide to accept him as he wishes.

Yours sincerely

University of International Business and Economics

Beijing 100029, P. R. China

Sept. 28, 1998

Dear colleagues:

This is to recommend Ms. Shan Shan, a graduate from this university’s department of International Business Management, for acceptance into your MBA program.

I have known Ms. Shan as a resourceful and goal-oriented individual since 1990,

when she attended a lecture I delivered, at which she asked perceptive and

challenging questions. Although she did not officially take a course with me, she

often consulted me on issues arising out of her studies. I therefore have come to know her well. I feel strongly that Ms. Shan’s unusual talents and abilities will stand her in good stead for a quality MBA education, which should serve as a major boost to her career.

While at this university, Ms. Shan was an outstanding student, boasting excellent performance in all subjects of her studies and demonstrating great potential. Her overall GPA ranked her among the top 3 in her class of 40 students. But Ms. Shan was no bookworm devoted exclusively to exams. She read extensively in subjects outside her major, particularly in business law, marketing, finance and journalism, all of which seemed to be fascinating to her. In recognition of her intellectual strengths, the department offered, at the time of her graduation, to accept her into its graduate without the normally mandatory examinations. She, however, turned down the offer.

A highly independent woman, she already had her own agenda set. She wanted to obtain practical management experience first and then proceed to pursue a Master’s Degree in Business Administrative in your country. She apparently made the right decision, for she has since become one of our most successful graduates in her crop of students.

Ms. Shan is good at communicating in both oral and written English. Some of he most important undergraduate courses were taught by American professors, many of whom considered her oral English as native and her written English as standard. I am sure that she has since improved her English a lot more in her professional life.

In Ms. Shan, we all saw an optimistic and easy-going character. With highly unusual determination, she is not to be daunted by any difficulties. She believes that, with hard work, she can achieve anything she wants. I think her confidence in herself is well grounded in her track record, especially when considering the fact that she entered into this university as the daughter of a most impoverished family, but graduated as a top student.

Judging by what I know of her, I think Ms. Shan is fully qualified to pursue an MBA degree in your program. I therefore recommend her with enthusiasm. And I shall greatly appreciate if you can favorably consider her application for admission and financial aid.

Yours sincerely

Dear Admissions Committee,

I am honored to recommend Ms. Xiao Xiao for your graduate program in electrical engineering. I came to know Ms. Xiao in March of 2000 when she enrolled in my class on dielectric physics in the Electrical Engineering Department at ABC University. With an enchanting demeanor, inquisitive nature, and solid academic performance, Ms. Xiao quickly became one of my most outstanding students. She stayed after class each day to discuss with me complex topics I had brought up during lecture. Though I tried to challenge all my students to go beyond the scope of the class, Ms. Xiao was the only one who displayed a genuine dedication to enhancing her own knowledge of dielectric physics and other related topics. During our

discussions, Ms. Xiao expressed her desire to attend a graduate program in electrical engineering and how she plans to use that intense educational experience to advance in a professional, scientifically-oriented career. Ms. Xiao earned a final grade of 80%, one of the highest scores in the entire class. Having witnessed such a strong classroom performance, I know that Ms. Xiao is well prepared to study at your prestigious university.

Because of her impressive academic work and honorable character, I am please to give Ms. Xiao Xiao my highest recommendation for your esteemed graduate program in electrical engineering.

Sincerely,

Dear Admissions Committee,

As Director of the State Key Laboratory of Electrical Insulation at ABC University in BLANK, China, it is my sincere and distinct pleasure to recommend Ms. Xiao Xiao for your graduate program in BLANK.

I have known Ms. Xiao since 2001, when she was one of eighty students who

completed their undergraduate thesis projects in my BLANK laboratory. Ms. Juan’s enthusiasm for and diligence in learning helped her become one of the most

outstanding students in the entire group, making a strong, positive impression upon me. Ms. Xiao is a very driven woman and student who knows what she wants to

accomplish and does not falter in her chosen path. Her intellectual curiosity and desire to acquire new acknowledge continuously have led her to perform much study on her own outside the scope of her classes and research work; oftentimes, I witnessed her consulting scientific books and journals to help her discover how she could improve her knowledge and her work in the laboratory. Countless times, Ms. Xiao remained in the laboratory for more than twelve hours in a row to complete her work and make sure there were no errors. With such devotion and fortitude, Ms. Xiao did not surprise me with her superior performance on her thesis paper. In terms of her character, Ms.

Xiao is an amiable, courteous, and helpful young woman who has many friends amongst our laboratory personnel.

Ms. Xiao is ready to move on to a more rigorous program of graduate study. Her academic performance, research work, and upstanding personal character have won her my highest recommendation, and I hope you give her application strong consideration. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Dear Sir,

It is my great pleasure to recommend Xiaoyue Deng to you, as she is one of my finest students in Luzhou Laojiao Middle School, a key school in Sichuan.

I have been her English teacher since she came to this school. I witnessed her growth and progress. In all her teachers’ eyes, she is very intelligent, open-minded, honest, creative, articulate and adaptive both in her study and in her daily life. Therefore, she was awarded “The Three Good Student” (good morality, good intelligence and good physical education), a title which is widely given to Chinese good students. What is more, she also got the title----The Outstanding Student Leader, which is given to a very small number of high school students in Sichuan Province each year. In general, Chinese students bear heavy burden in study. They have a lot of classes and have to finish many assignments given by their teachers. To Xiaoyue Den, she can not only do them very well but also spend much time in learning college English and basic chemistry that are for college students.

Besides of her talents and great performance, her classmates admired her very much and elected her as their monitor. Our principal also appointed her as vice president of the students union. In particular, in the past three years she has been serving as my assistant in English teaching and has been helping those students who were poor in English willingly. What she has done has earned many teachers’ and students’ admiration and support and love.

Judging by her performance and skills I have mentioned above, I’m convinced that Xiaoyue Deng is qualified for the learning in your university. Please do not hesitate to inquire further if I can be of help to you. My email address is lzq46@163.com

sincerely,

Zhengquan Liu
